Kigomani Village:
In the village of Kigomani, which is next to the SeVi Boutique Hotel Zanzibar, tourism has not yet really arrived. People here, like everywhere in rural Africa, live in simple huts. Very few houses have running water or electricity.
They practise a moderate Islam, mixed with animistic traditions and a strong superstition. In the morning, the muezzin calls for prayer, then the day begins to unfold leisurely. Fishermen go out to sea, women collect firewood and at low tide shells and sea creatures are gathered. The children go to school, in the afternoon they play football on the beach and frolic in the shallow water. When the fishermen come home, the fish is auctioned off at the neighbouring fish market.

Stone Town City Tour
Stone Town is an atmospheric and mystical town and is the cultural and historical heart of Zanzibar. It was constructed from coral stone during the 19th and 20th century. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000. Get to know the town, see historical sites and architecture, visit a local market, the old slave market memorial and church, and the old sultan’s palace.
Stone Town is a very lively place where you’ll find a mixture of Arabic, African, Indian and European cultures living comfortably together. As you walk through the labyrinth of streets too narrow for cars to pass, you can see mosques, churches and temples side to side.
Tour of Stone Town
Relax on the white sands gazing at the turquoise beach of the Indian Ocean or choose from the optional experiences.
Safari Blue, full day, shared boat
Mena bay, Mangroves and Khwale Island
Leaving from Fumba, you are heading on a traditional wooden dhow towards your first snorkel stop. On the way you will hopefully meet Dolphins, playing around in the shallow Marine Park of Menai Bay. The reefs surrounding the sand bank are your second snorkelling trip; the underwater world will seem very different compared to your first stop. Enjoy the short trip with your boat towards your final stop where you reach the beautiful island Kwale, and our crew will be waiting for you! Depending on the tides you may stop in a very special place, where our boats are taking you into the world of an island full of mangroves for a swim. The tidal lagoon has centuries of history stored in its coral. It’s a different swimming experience with warm waters and a stunning location for photographs
