Supplementary oxygen

By using a supplementary oxygen system your chance of success is greatly increased, with the additional benefit of the experience being far less exhausting. It will completely eliminate the symptoms of AMS and allow you to have a clear memory of a fantastic summit day. The use of supplementary oxygen on Kilimanjaro does not remove the necessity for a regulated acclimatisation programme though.

You will receive a complete set of supplementary oxygen equipment, including one or two oxygen cylinders. The first cylinder is to be used when you have reached the top camp for resting and sleeping. The second cylinder is to be used for your summit bid. Each oxygen cylinder will provide supplementary oxygen for approx. 10 hours duration. The system is easy to set up and use, and the oxygen is delivered via an unobtrusive nasal cannula.

Price :
90 USD per set with one cylinder,
150 USD with two cylinders.

SafarI Blue

This excursion is by far the best day trip one can undertake in Zanzibar. Organized by Adventure Afloat, this extraordinary trip is organized with perfection into the details.

Safari Blue explores the Menai Bay Conservation Area, which is home to two different species of dolphins, the Indo-pacific humpback and the bottlenose. We are lucky enough to see dolphins on 85% of our excursions.

Menai Bay has been designated as a Conservation Area since 1998 due to its outstanding natural beauty. The bay has a number of pristine sandbanks, naturally carved by the sea, wind and waves. The sandbanks and uninhabited islands that litter the bay are perfect stepping stones to explore the area.

In the morning we set down on one of the beautiful sandbanks where one can relax, swim or snorkel. We have plenty of good quality snorkelling equipment and our experienced snorkelling guides will show you the pristine coral reef, which teems with tropical sea life. Instruction is also available for beginners. After snorkelling cold drinks, fresh coconuts and local snacks.

Join our crew for a sail on an “ngalawa”- a local canoe with outriggers which has been carved from a single mango tree.

When the tide permits we explore the natural lagoon found on Kwale island. The lagoon is surrounded by a mangrove forest and we will take you swimming in the lagoon for an unforgettable experience!

After snorkelling we go to Kwale island where we have our “desert island” restaurant. The buffet lunch includes fish, slipper lobster, calamari, rice and sauces all served hot from the grill. Our crew also prepares and presents a gastronomic fruit tasting with a large selection of delicious tropical fruits.

Our dhows are traditional sailing boats, hand-built from African mahogany and finished to the very highest standards. They are comfortable and well equipped with outboard engine, VHF marine radios, gas inflatable life jackets, sunshade, boarding ladder, waterproof bags and first aid kit. We hold marine and public liability insurance.

Included in the price :

Tips

Diving

Diving from Stone Town :

Bawe Island
Bawe has a reef stretching around it with a maximum depth of 18mtrs. Here you will find beautiful corals like Acropora, Staghorn, Brain corals and a large variety of reef fish.

The Wrecks
At 12 mtrs The Great Northern (built 1870) which sank on New Years Eve 1902 a British steel cable laying ship. She has become a magnificent artificial reef after these many years and is home to a number of Leaf fish, Lionfish and Geometric moray’s. Parts of the ship can still be identified and some relics may still be found though not taken. The Great Northern is an ideal wreck for the beginner diver as it is only 12 mtrs and is a snorkellers paradise.

At 30 mtrs a wreck of the Royal Navy Lighter. It is home to large schools of Rainbow Runners, Trevally, Sweepers, Yellow finned Goat Fish and sometimes Reef sharks. For experienced Advanced divers and above. See below for more information.

At 40 mtrs a Pontoon Steam Sand Dredger The Penguin. This dive is for experienced DEEP DIVERS. A fantastic dive because of the huge numbers of big Bluefin Trevally, Barracuda, big Stingrays, Morays and lots more.

Murogo Reef
Maximum depth 24mtrs. It has a sloping reef wall with a huge variety in coral and fish. Turtle are often seen on this dive and this is usually our preferred third dive site for the Open Water Diver course. Only 25 minutes away from our dive shop in our traditional Zanzibar Dhow powered by a 100hp Volvo Penta.

Nyange Reef
This reef is the largest of all reefs on the west coast and contains several dive sites, all of which are unique. A new species of coral has recently been identified on this reef and marine biologists believe it to be endemic to Nyange. The Zanzibar Dive Centre is the only dive shop to dive this reef on a regular basis. The sites dived are called Turtles Den, Groupers play ground and Coral Bay.

Boribu Reef
One of the best dive sites off Zanzibar. The Zanzibar Dive Centre is the only dive operator in Stone Town able to transport divers to this pristine reef. Boribu is only 45 min by our fast custom made fiberglass boat. Huge Barrel Sponges, enormous Gorgonian fan’s, large Moray eel’s pelagic fish, large lobsters are all features of this dive. In season Whale sharks pass through. The maximum depth is 30mtrs. Boribu has an underwater reef unlike any other in Zanzibar with beautiful mountains of varying corals including the spectacular columna corals.

Diving from the North-East Coast :

The north-east point of Zanzibar lies on the migration route of mantas, wales and walesharks. Most of the year you will find the beautifully-patterned Striped Dolphin, but the Bottlenosed, Spinner and common Dolphins also occur in the clear waters around Mnemba Atoll. Many coral species are to found here as well : Mushroom, Honeycombe, Brain and Staghorn Coral, to name just a few. An excellent photographic opportunity both above and below the water.
