The Safari Blue Private Charter is a real “bucket list” experience. A private dhow with dedicated crew, personalised itinerary, private lunch and many “extras”. Our catering team prepare and serve a sumptuous seafood lunch in a secluded spot. Choose this for a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ day out.
Safari Blue is the only operator licensed to use the name “Safari Blue”. It is our registered trade name not a generic term for a Zanzibar boat trip.
The company began life back in 1995 and its owner Eleanor is passionate about Zanzibar, respecting it’s people and culture and preserving the stunning environment
A booking with us ensures everything is included from arrival to departure. We provide snorkeling gear, food and drinks throughout the day.
We also take care of the environment by minimizing our footprint, reducing waste, recycling where we can, composting food waste, harvesting rain water and using solar energy. We cook with gas where possible, we never use plastic bags, plastic plates or disposable cups and handle all our rubbish responsibly.
We take care of our staff and pay them a decent wage. They stay with us – in fact many have worked with us since 1996. We improve the lives of Zanzibaris through our programme of Social Corporate Responsibility. We care about being honest with our guests.
Zanzibar is actually called Unguja one of 2 islands in the Zanzibar archipelago.
Showcasing the best Zanzibar has to offer – stunning scenery, clear waters, delicious food and unrivalled Swahili hospitality.
Trust us – we are legitimate and we put our clients first, take care of our crew and make a meaningful contribution to Zanzibar.
Laid back or lively – you set the pace.
Our aim is to give every single guest on board an unforgettable and magical day.
We go to a lot of trouble to keep our dhows looking beautiful.
Skillfully constructed from African mahogany and finished to the very highest standards of Zanzibari craftsmanship.

Meet Said Abdullah one of our three resident barmen at The Sand Bar. Said joined the team alongside his brother Ali, without any experience and was trained by our head Barman Salum. Said doubles up as the butler at The Deck our latest private dining location. He also got married 2 weeks ago, so one way and another he is a very busy man! Always smiling always polite and always putting service first! Thank you Said
