Day 5: Jambiani Village Tour
You take a early drive down the shore. Jambiani is a settlement on Zanzibar’s east coast that is reached after passing the fishing communities of Bwejuu and Paje. We provide a cultural village trip where you may see residents in various occupations. In addition to our guide telling you about the village’s history, you will visit a traditional herbalist who will demonstrate the many local remedies and plants and their applications. You will also visit a locally owned organic plantation on coral stone, where farmers grow food in spite of harsh conditions, and seaweed farms managed by women. An excellent chance to meet the amiable Waswahili people and discover the distinctive culture and varied surroundings of Zanzibar’s villages.

Day 6: Dolphin Trip
You go on an expedition to Kizimkazi one day. Kizimkazi fishing town, which is located on the southernmost tip of the island, is home to many schools of bottlenose and humpback dolphins, which are frequently spotted after a quick boat ride from the settlement. It may be an really fulfilling experience to swim up close to the dolphins if you are fortunate enough to be able to do so. Because large numbers of people upset the dolphins in the morning, we are making this excursion in the afternoon. Spend the night at your seaside lodging. Included are lunch and breakfast.
