Zanzibar Holidays Offer Opportunities to Have Loads of Fun
An archipelagic region of Tanzania, Zanzibar is a
fascinating African destination that delights you with its enchanting natural
beauty. This part of Africa has also preserved its rich cultural heritage,
which is an excellent mix of African, Arabian, and Indian cultures. Zanzibar
comprises several small islands and two large islands of Pemba and Unguja. With
so many choices in attractive islands and vast stretches of white-sand beaches,
you'll certainly have a wonderful time during your holidays spent in this
beautiful island destination.
While enjoying your Zanzibar
holidays, you'll get the opportunity to indulge in some exciting outdoor
activities. Among them is a catamaran trip, which can be taken as a short
sailing tour or as a longer trip if you wish to go island-hopping. During such
tours, you'll also get the chance to enjoy diving and deep-sea fishing. You
would certainly benefit from the crew members accompanying you. Usually, you'll
have a dive instructor, a chef, a deckhand, and a skipper on board. These
catamaran trips can also be customised to suit your preferences. Some of the
catamarans have multiple cabins with excellent facilities provided in all of
them.
You'll also have a great time trying out deep-sea
fishing in the waters between Pemba and Unguja islands. The crystal-clear
turquoise waters surrounding the islands of Zanzibar and some fabulous
varieties of marine life in them provide ideal conditions for enjoying this
activity. Some good spots for deep-sea fishing also exist at certain places
near Latham and Mafia islands. These spots are quite untouched and are visited only
by a few of the local fishermen. Among the fish found near the coastline of
this amazing island destination are the marlin, sailfish, Dorado, wahoo, and
spearfish. If you wish to go fishing for tuna, the ideal time would be between
August and October.
During your winter holidays spent on this island
destination, you can explore the most beautiful coral reefs off the Pemba
Island with scuba diving or snorkelling expeditions. These activities usually
begin with a short boat ride taken from any of the popular beaches on the
island. For the beginners, the offshore current from the island can be quite a
strong one. It is, therefore, recommended that they try the calmer and safer
waters. Snorkelling is best enjoyed in the waters surrounding the Unguja
Island, as its eastern barrier reef contains shallow and sheltered lagoons that
are home to some colourful varieties of marine beings.
Jet-skiing and kite-surfing are the other adventurous
activities you can try during your winter holidays in this fantastic island
destination. The jet-skiing tours usually start from Nungwi and then you are
taken to the island of Tumbatu. Near this island, you'll get the chance to
relax or enjoy a good swim before cruising along the coastline. As the Zanzibar
has a tropical climate, kitesurfing can be great fun in the waters surrounding
its islands. You can choose to navigate the areas between the coral reef and
the coast, as it would be easier and a great learning experience.
