A tourist from Romania, by the name Diana, shared her impressions online after going on the Zanzibar dolphin tour, in the village of Kizimkazi. She wrote passionately about meeting the dolphins & becoming friends with them, but also about the positive experience she had with the travel agency that organized this excursion. Her testimony is living proof that this trip creates memories that last a lifetime and it could even be considered life-changing, especially for people who love wild animals and don’t see them only as a fun way to spend their free time.
“I just came back from Zanzibar and, although I expected that Stone Town, Prison Island, Nakupenda Beach, or Jozani Forest would impress me the most, nothing quite matched the Zanzibar dolphin tour. I took it on my last day on the island, and probably this is one of the reasons why this trip is still so fresh in my mind and why it marked me so much. I absolutely love animals, I have a dog and two cats back home, but I didn’t think I would be moved to tears by this interaction. But dolphins are truly majestic creatures, even beyond words, I would say.
For those interested, I took the Zanzibar dolphin tour with Zanzibar Tour Guide, a travel agency with over 18 years of experience. Their guides were highly professional, and their drivers were very polite & careful, in modern, air-conditioned vehicles. When I booked the trip, they suggested picking me up from my hotel at 5 AM. Normally, I’m not a morning person, but they said it’s the best way to see the dolphins, as they come to the surface only when the seawater is colder. It was a bit difficult to wake up and get ready, but I would’ve deeply regretted not doing so.
When we got to Kizimkazi, the village where the Zanzibar dolphin tour took place, the guides told us what to expect, but nothing prepared me for actually meeting the dolphins up close. It’s almost like they understood my emotions and how happy I was to see them and be able to swim with them. It’s not said in vain that dolphins are the most intelligent creatures on Earth, after human beings. We swam together, I watched them interact with other tourists, and taking care of their calves, and socializing with each other”.
As you can see, the Zanzibar dolphin tour deeply touched the Romanian tourist, forever changing the way she sees these animals from now on. Zanzibar Tour Guide, the travel agency that organized the trip, has a rich offer of excursions, safaris & activities both on the island, as well as on mainland Tanzania. The biggest attractions include the Stone Town walking tour (the old Zanzibar capital), Spice Farm tour (where you could taste & buy tens of different spices), as well as national parks such as Serengeti, Tarangire, and Mikumi, full of hundreds of endemic species of flora & fauna.
