Kizimkazi Dolphin tour
Join us on the spectacular tour to the most popular dolphin spotting location in Zanzibar at Kizimkazi village, located on the Southern coast of Zanzibar Island, where you can see both bottlenose and humpback dolphins. The shallow coastal waters around Kizimkazi are a favorite hangout for dolphins as they always and if not every day come here for the reliable food supply, to nurse their calves, rest and socialize.
There are also rather shyer humpback dolphins that sometimes put in an appearance here, although their schedule is a little more erratic. The dolphin tour is best very early in the morning because in the afternoon as the sun rises, the sea water tends to become warm and the dolphins dive deep down to escape the heat.
For guests who are staying in a Stone town hotel or afar from Kizimkazi, we’ll pick you up from your hotel on the time we advise and agreed.
The dolphin trip lasts two to three hours. Although dolphin-spotting is a popular activity, sightings aren’t guaranteed 100% and sometimes spotting require time and patience as the animals are in their natural environment.
Kizimkazi is also the site of a 12th-century mosque, the earliest evidence of Islam in East Africa, and is thus worth a visit for both cultural and historical reasons. The dolphin trip can be combined with Jozani Forest upon the guest consent as it is on the way back from Kizimkazi Dolphin Tour.
