Your adventure commences right at your Zanzibar hotel, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey. Our destination is the picturesque fishing village of Kizimkazi, where you'll be greeted by the captivating sight of local fishermen along the shoreline. From there, you'll embark on a thrilling motorboat ride, which not only promises the chance to snorkel but also offers an exciting opportunity to encounter the renowned bottle-nose dolphins that call Kizimkazi home throughout the year.
Our dolphin expedition commences in the morning, as this is when these intelligent creatures are most active. As the sun rises and warms the sea, the dolphins often venture deeper to escape the heat, making morning encounters more likely.
Expect the dolphin experience to last approximately two to three hours, leaving you with ample time to further explore the wonders of Kizimkazi on land.
Kizimkazi holds historical and cultural significance as the site of a 12th-century mosque, marking one of the earliest traces of Islam in East Africa. Therefore, a visit here offers not only a chance to connect with nature but also an opportunity to delve into the rich cultural and historical heritage of the region.
