Sports and leisure activities Tanzania

The club is located within the magnificent Sunshine Marine Lodge. Strategically located, it faces the island of Mnemba, Zanzibar's main diving spot. Motorboat trips (diving or snorkeling possible) around the atoll or to other spots in the northeast of the island. Dive Point organizes French-speaking PADI training courses, as the manager (Simon) is a particularly friendly Frenchman. The equipment is luxurious and courses are given in the secondary pool reserved for this purpose. A dream setting for learning to dive.

Based in Pajé, Buccaneer Diving has 20 years of experience diving in East African waters, first in Mombasa, Kenya, then in Zanzibar. This very serious club offers dives in the Jambiani lagoon, a privileged place to see seahorses andstingrays, at the Blue Wall of Dongwe and Bwejuu, or in the famous seabed of Mnemba Island in the north and Kizimkazi in the south. Possibility to do a first dive or to pass the Padi Open water.

The Safari Blue has become a must-see attraction in Zanzibar. In fact, there are a lot of dhows in season, too many in fact. On the program: snorkeling above the coral reefs, somewhat damaged by so many people, swimming and stop on a sandbank to taste some fruits, then discovery of a magnificent mangrove lagoon and finally, lunch on a beach: fish, chicken, beef, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, cicadas ... the profusion! Each group has its own table, there are many people but it is pleasant.

The Nest Experiences offers you the chance to explore Zanzibar through a series of emotionally-charged adventures and discoveries made possible by top-of-the-range services. Swim with turtles, whale sharks (on an excursion to Mafia Island) or clown fish. Be a sailor on a thousand-year-old dhow, dive into the seabed or cruise with a bottle of champagne on a catamaran. Gallop along the beach on horseback, kitesurf in the lagoon... Enjoy spectacular experiences and memorable moments.

Someone had to jump into the void, Gary did it. This American living in Zanzibar opened the first skydiving club in Zanzibar a short time ago. To give yourself the big thrill above the wonderful island, its forests and especially its spectacular coral reef that can be admired precisely from the sky. The jumps are made in tandem in complete safety, by a very professional team. Angelo, Rade and Pyro are the three experienced instructors who organize the jumps. Remember to book in advance.

This agency rents top-of-the-range boats sailing around Unguja, Pemba and Mafia. The 18-meter Fanotea yacht has 4 air-conditioned double cabins and crew quarters, and can sail long distances with quality service on board (half-day, full-day or cruise). He also rents out a magnificent 18-meter Swahili dhow, built in India from teak, with a 3-person cabin and a qualified crew on board.

After testing and experimenting with different spots in Zanzibar, this kite school decided to set up in Nungwi and Pwani Mchangani (north-east coast), and not on the south-east coast. The conditions are also perfect all year round in terms of wind and waves (the best being January/February and June/July). And here no seaweed sticking to the board! The school offers courses at different levels, and rents equipment to experienced kiteboarders. Good equipment and safe supervision by very professional local instructors.

Zanzibar Quad Adventure offers quad tours through wild landscapes, local farms, sugar cane plantations, quarries, spice trees and centuries-old baobab forests. The quads are automatic and easy to drive. Safety is a priority, with respect for speed limits, third-party insurance and an experienced local guide for each group. We recommend bringing cash for shopping and wearing appropriate clothing to respect local customs.

This agency is specialized in big game fishing in Zanzibar. The must is to go fishing for giant dogtooth tuna, which swarm in the warm and clear waters around the small island of Latham, especially from September to March. These fish gather in schools of 30 to 50 fish and weigh on average between 30 and 150 kg! Pemba and Mafia are also on the program of this agency which will guide you through the tropical fishy waters of Zanzibar.

Horse lovers will be able to realise their dream, a ride on a dream beach, wild, from Nungwi to Kilindi Bay, a hell of a ride. Because a horseback ride is a guarantee to go beyond the tourist beaches. On the back of Sultan, Willow, Bob or Crumble, you can even swim with them (used to the exercise) directly in the sea, visit a village during a guided horse ride... Plenty of options to discover the surroundings. The main ranch is next to Villa Kidoti, in a large estate further south on the road.

In this part of the world at the northern tip of Pemba, Swahili Divers is one of the most serious dive centers (PADI) on the island, with instructors who speak English and are very well trained. The interest of coming so far is to discover the unique seabed of Pemba (especially all the reefs located in the north of the island, very rich near the Tanga channel). The centre therefore offers all-inclusive packages with the Gecko Nature Lodge with which it is associated. This lodge offers different types of rooms at reasonable rates.
