Extraordinary African Safaris
Snorkel a sheltered, jewel-clear lagoon teeming with fish — a calm, beautiful spot ideal for families and gentle swimmers.
The Blue Lagoon, on Zanzibar’s southwest coast near Kizimkazi, is a sheltered patch of impossibly clear, calm water over a healthy reef — a gentler, quieter alternative to the busier Mnemba. The protected setting makes it ideal for families, nervous swimmers, and anyone who wants a relaxed snorkel rather than open water.
A short boat trip brings you to the lagoon, where you drift over coral among parrotfish, angelfish, and the occasional turtle. It’s often combined with a Kizimkazi dolphin trip for a full morning on the southern coast.
A quick boat trip to the sheltered lagoon.
Drift over coral in protected, glassy shallows.
Refreshments and downtime between snorkels.
Pair with a Kizimkazi dolphin trip if you wish.
A lovely, calm spot that's perfect when Mnemba feels too crowded or the open water too daunting — especially with children. It's quieter and the water is gentle. Combine with a Kizimkazi dolphin tour to make a full, varied morning on the southern coast.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Blue Lagoon Experience, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
