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.
So why are we called Safari Blue? Asked no one ever ….

This is Mwinyi Said. The first crew member of Safari Blue working with us from 1995 until he retired due to ill health about 18 months ago. Mwinyi was so instrumental in those early days of setting up Safari Blue and remained a key and important figure over the years. Mwinyi introduced many family members and friends to us, all of whom remain on our team today. Sadly on Thursday 23rd January after a grueling illness Mwinyi passed away. His funeral was one of the biggest Fumba village had ever seen; he was such an important figure for so many. Passionate about the sea, a highly competent sailor, he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Mwinyi. We will never forget you.

We had lunch at our new dining spot “Treetops”. We didn’t twig how high up we were until we looked down and we were rooted 🫚to the spot with wonder! We felt on top of the world and we didn’t want to leave 🍃but we branched out and moved to the lower deck after a delicious lunch. The vital supplies basket 🧺 and pulley system is a hoot.
