The Safari Blue in Zanzibar is one of the most popular tours on the island, for a number of more or less obvious reasons. First of all, it brings together all the elements that make the archipelago so appreciated by tourists from all over the world: the sun that shines continuously, the very welcoming & white sand, the azure of the Indian Ocean that blends with the sky, as well as the snorkeling possibilities that reveal the amazing coral reefs. However, there is something else, which may seem redundant at first glance, but is actually very important.
We’re talking about the lunch break during the Safari Blue Zanzibar. This has both a functional, cultural, and practical role. First of all, of course, it will allow you to satisfy your hunger, in the middle of a day full of new experiences, which you’ll keep in mind for the rest of your life. The meal, which will be served on Kwale island, consists of fish, slipper lobster, calamari, and rice, all fresh off the grill and accompanied by delicious sauces. Of course, lunch will also include tropical fruits, ice-cold sodas, mineral water, beer, coffee, and the very special local Amarula liqueur.
Secondly, besides the functional aspect, the Safari Blue Zanzibar lunch break will be a truly local experience. Thus, in addition to the fact that you’ll taste delicacies from the area, you’ll also sit at the table with the locals, who are known for their hospitality. They will answer all the questions and curiosities you have, but they will also tell you stories about their life & customs, some very different from those of ordinary Europeans or Americans (the areas where most tourists come from). Thus, the excursion will also enrich you culturally & socially, not only from the point of view of the landscapes.
Organize your photo gallery & your luggage, during the lunch break
Last but not least, the awesome Safari Blue in Zanzibar tour will allow you to take a break during lunch, for several actions of more or less organizational nature. For example, you’ll have the necessary time to look at the photos taken in the first hours of the trip, and sort them: delete the bad ones, and decide which ones to publish on social media. You’ll also be able to decide how you approach the last part of the journey: taking some takeaway food with you or traveling light, in order not to make your luggage heavier than it is.
In conclusion, although many tourists may consider the lunch break an hour more or less lost, this is a good opportunity to enrich yourself from several points of view. Practically, besides the fact that you’ll discover new tastes, you’ll learn the secrets of the locals and you’ll have a well-deserved break between two sessions of exploration on the shore and under the surface of the water. Other activities in Zanzibar include walking tours (for example, in Stone Town, the old capital), interactions with different animals (dolphins, turtles, etc.), as well as other safaris, including on mainland Tanzania. Have fun!
