SNORKELLING If you love snorkelling, take our full day trip around Mnemba Island, with its amazing coral reef and tropical aquatic life. We have our own dhow, the "My lady" - just climb aboard. You can choose from two favourite snorkeling spots – one in shallow water and one deeper, for more experienced snorkellers. Swim with the dolphins (although their presence can’t be guaranteed) or go for a spot of fishing and catch your own lunch. Don’t worry if you don’t get a bite – we’ll buy from the local fishermen and set up a barbecue on the beautiful white sandy beach. And there’ll be plenty of time for more snorkelling after lunch – if the rest of the party is keen to do so. SUNSET CRUISE Our own sailing dhow, the "My lady" can take you on sunset cruise. Enjoy the calm of the ocean, the cool breeze, the views and the stunning colors of sunsets - as a group or as a very romantic honeymoon activity. PADI DIVING There are no ding facilities in our resort, but we can recommend a good local diving shop. Usually there’s no need to make a booking for dive sessions – except in the high season, and if you want to make more than one dive, we are happy to book for you. Our manager is an experienced diver and will gladly share with you his knowledge about diving around the area.
KAYAKING & FISHING KAYAK
If you’re feeling adventurous, we have double and single kayaks for exploring along the coast. Life jackets and shoes are provided. GAME FISHING Mnarani offers both full (8h) and half-day (4h) fishing trips, carrying a maximum of five people plus crew. Our dhow (local boat) has two outboard engines, GPS and radio equipment, fish finder, life jackets and first aid kit. Local fish include King Fish, Sail Fish, Blue Marlin and Yellow Fin Tuna. Refreshments are included. KITING Our beach is ideal for the experienced kiter. It allows kite surfers the safety of the lagoon and a rescue boats are available if help is needed. The soft white sandy beach allows for easy launching and landing. The beach size depends on the tide - however there is always part of the beach that one can land the kite on safely. Zanzibar has 2 different trade winds. The “Kusi” is a slightly cooler wind that blows consistently at an average speed of 18 knots from the South East. It starts in April and usually blows until December. It is calmer in the morning and increases strength in the afternoon to consistently up to 25 knots. This allows the kite surfer to go between the beach and the reef as the wind blows side-shore along Mnarani’s beach. This side shore wind is ideal for wave riding and heading out the reef. The “Kasi Kasi” is the Northern Monsoon wind that starts to blow around the 20th of December and continues until the beginning of April. It comes from the North and is much stronger than the Kusi. It is strongest in the morning with speeds of up to 30 knots and gets a bit lighter in the afternoon (speed around 15 knots). At Mnarani it blows slightly on-shore, which allows the kite surfer to kite pretty much parallel to the beach. Other water sports activities include wind surfing, surf boarding and a fantastic reef walking tour with a local guide, if tides permitting. There’s plenty of play equipment for the kids, too. Do not hesitate to contact us or visit our reception to organise your activities.
