About this site
Kizimkazi is on the southeast coast of Zanzibar, where a pod of humpback dolphins, and occasionally spinner dolphins, lives year-round in the shallow inshore waters. The encounters work best very early in the morning, before the animals meet the many tour boats that arrive as the day goes on.
The reef here is dived to around 30 metres, with a light current and good visibility, and divers have reported moray eels, lionfish and triggerfish.
