Menai Bay, on the south-west coast of Zanzibar, is a protected marine area known for its calm turquoise water, sandbanks and small islands. The Zanzibar Safari Blue trip is the easiest way to explore it in one day.
Highlights of Menai Bay
Your day starts in the fishing village of Fumba, where you board a dhow. The first stop is a sandbank for a swim, followed by snorkeling on a reef teeming with fish. Crews keep an eye out for dolphins, which are often seen in the bay.
At midday you land on an island for a seafood lunch served in the shade, with lobster or calamari, fish and fruit. The afternoon brings a swim in a mangrove-fringed lagoon and time to relax before sailing back at sunset.
This trip is ideal for families and groups who want an active, social day at sea.
