Snorkeling, The Main Activity During The Safari Blue in Zanzibar!

Snorkeling, the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving mask, a snorkel (breathing tube), usually swimfins, and sometimes even a life jacket, can be considered the national sport in Zanzibar. On the island in the Indian Ocean, located east of Tanzania and belonging to this country, from an administrative point of view, most locals know how to snorkel, and the most skilled of them are willing to teach tourists how to do it, too. If you get there, it would be a pity not to try it because of fear since it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you choose the Safari Blue Zanzibar trip, you will be transported to the South Western shores of the archipelago in a place called Fumba. This is the most convenient location for exploring wildlife, isolated sandbanks, and the rugged island scenery. Therefore, it is also ideal for snorkeling. During the Safari Blue in Zanzibar, you’ll get to admire the pristine coral reef and enjoy local snacks and fresh coconuts between the lessons from professionals. However, some people are ashamed to try this fun and exciting activity, thinking they wouldn’t handle it.

Since Safari Blue in Zanzibar is all about enjoying yourself and learning how to master new things, we’ve decided to compile a small snorkeling guide before your trip. First of all, you have to make sure that you know how to swim, not necessarily on a professional level, but at least being able to stay afloat. Secondly, you must choose quality gear that fits. Therefore, it is neither the cheapest nor a universal model. If you book the Safari Blue in Zanzibar trip through a top travel agency, such as Zanzibar Tour Guide, they should take care of this for you.

Another essential aspect to consider before snorkeling is to choose a safe place with abundant marine life. Luckily, the Safari Blue in Zanzibar fits both categories: on the one hand, it’s one of the most beautiful sceneries for diving right beneath the surface of the water and admiring the coral reef, while on the other hand, the trip is 100% safe, with the help of the travel mentioned above agency. Other etiquette rules include:

• Not touching the corals.
• Not standing on the reef.
• Not chasing sea creatures.
• Not feeding the fish or other marine animals.
• Not taking any souvenirs from the water.

Besides snorkeling, the Safari Blue trip also includes a hearty meal on the island of Kwale, consisting of fish, slipper lobster, calamari, rice, sauces, as well as tropical fruits, ice-cold sodas, mineral water, beer, coffee, and Amarula liqueur. Last but not least, you will also enjoy some of the best flora and fauna Zanzibar has to offer: you will see the natural lagoon and the mangrove forest on Kwale Island, while in the Menai Bay Conservation Area, you will meet two endemic species of dolphins: the Indo-Pacific humpback and the Bottlenose. Therefore, this experience is not only about snorkeling!
