SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS

Another exciting activity you can do in Zanzibar is to swim with the dolphins! Yes, you read right. Swimming with these lovable creatures is also one to look forward to with your vacation. The most famous spot for dolphins is the Kizimkazi Beach, located in the southwestern coast of Zanzibar. The best tine to encounter the dolphins is usually early in the morning. Dolphins are also abundantly seen from the ocean during the dry season, which is from January to February and June to October.
