Kizimkazi Dolphin Tour: Swim with Dolphins in Zanzibar 🐬🌊

Located on the southern tip of Zanzibar Island, Kizimkazi fishing village is famous for its resident schools of bottlenose dolphins and humpback dolphins. This area is one of the best places on the island to see dolphins in their natural habitat. Upon arrival, you will board a motorized boat and begin the search for dolphins, which are often spotted after a short trip from the village. Because we conduct this tour in the afternoon, you avoid the crowds that usually gather in the morning, giving the dolphins a calmer environment and increasing your chances of a close encounter.

If you are lucky, you may have the opportunity to swim close to the dolphins—a truly unforgettable experience. These intelligent animals often swim near the boat, and being able to observe them in the water is both exciting and rewarding. After swimming with the dolphins, the tour continues to shallow waters for snorkeling, where you can explore the vibrant coral reef and tropical fish.

After snorkeling, the boat returns to the beach where you can freshen up with a shower, enjoy lunch, and relax on the beach. This makes the tour a full and balanced experience, combining adventure, relaxation, and time to enjoy the coastal scenery.

Kizimkazi is not only known for its dolphins but also for its historical significance. The village is home to a 12th-century mosque, which is the earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa. This makes Kizimkazi a destination worth visiting for both natural beauty and cultural history. During the tour, there may be times when we need to search longer for dolphins, as they sometimes move from one area to another. However, this is part of the experience, and the journey itself often offers beautiful coastal views and wildlife sightings.
