Fumba: Safari Blue in the wider surrounding area

Safari Blue in the wider surrounding area

If you are looking for hotels in Fumba, an excursion in the wider surrounding area may also be part of your travel plans. Safari Blue is designed as a full-day sailing excursion. The route passes through mangrove areas and includes snorkeling in Menai Bay. It also features a visit to Kwale Island, time to relax on a sandbank, and a final swimming stop at a natural lagoon. The program therefore combines water activities, time on an island, and quieter stretches. Its full-day duration is an important consideration for your schedule: Safari Blue can be planned as a day trip of its own.

Sailing and water activities

Sailing, swimming, and snorkeling are among the activities on the route. The sailing section passes through mangrove areas, while snorkeling takes place in Menai Bay. This lets you think of the journey and time in the water as different parts of the day: the sailing takes you through the mangroves, while swimming and snorkeling describe the water activities. If you are looking for an excursion that combines a journey with water activities, this combination is a specific point to consider. At the same time, Safari Blue is not limited to a single water activity; it is planned as a full-day itinerary with several stops.

Kwale: island visit and lunch

A visit to Kwale Island adds land-based activities to the time on the water. Lunch is included during the island visit. On Kwale, the route also includes climbing an old baobab tree and walking along the beach. These elements offer different highlights: the tree-climbing activity and beach walks are both part of the island stop, while snorkeling takes place in Menai Bay. If you are interested in an island visit as well as water activities, these are the specific parts of the route on Kwale. The Safari Blue program also includes a seafood barbecue with side dishes.

Sandbank, lagoon, and return journey

The day also includes quieter moments. Time to relax is set aside on a sandbank. This is distinct from the final swimming stop at a natural lagoon. The sandbank is intended as a break, while the lagoon is the last stop for swimming. The return journey to Fumba Village and Stone Town follows. This gives your day a clear ending: first the final swimming stop, then the return to the destinations listed. The sandbank and lagoon therefore play different roles in the itinerary.

How to fit the route into your day

When choosing, it helps to distinguish between individual interests: snorkeling and swimming are only part of the day; the island visit, sandbank break, and final lagoon swim also shape the itinerary. If you want to consider several stops rather than a single activity, you can view Safari Blue as a full-day program with changing highlights. The mix of sailing, water activities, time on the island, and relaxation gives you a clear idea of the character of this excursion in the wider surrounding area.
