The richness of these seabeds, the variety of coral reefs and the transparency of these waters make Zanzibar a true paradise for diving lovers .
There are several sites on the island to dive, to choose according to the period of the trip, the previous diving experiences and the specific interests of each person.
Zanzibarine waters teem with fish of various kinds and, together with a variegated tropical vegetation , make the underwater landscape truly unique.
Diving is a unique way to experience the pristine beauties of the Indian Ocean , being accompanied by local boats along the reef and abandoning themselves in a deep blue dive, all in complete safety.
Cooking with Dada
An authentic experience, to interact with the locals, to know culinary habits profoundly different from ours and, obviously, to taste new flavors .
The word “ Dada ” in Swahili means sister and is used to refer to the women of Zanzibar. Cook everything by hand , under the supervision of local women who will guide you step by step.
You will learn how to treat foods that you have probably never cooked, in the respect of local tradition , using at best what nature offers.
Yoga Class
Take the opportunity to treat yourself to a moment of relaxation and wellness for mind and body in a unique location.
Yoga is a millennia-old practice that works on the body and spirit, and the freedom to practice it barefoot on the white sand a stone’s throw from the Ocean in an intense and sensory journey can be an unforgettable experience.
Give yourself, along with the natural beauty that Zanzibar offers, the chance to completely disconnect from the routine of work and the hectic life you have left at home by approaching a discipline of great inner knowing.
Yoga classes will be diversified according to the level of practice and we recommend, even for the most experienced practitioners, not to miss this unique experience of relaxation and meditation.
