4 Days Zanzibar Dhow Sailing Tanzania
- Overview
- Tour Details
Sailing a traditional wooden dhow off Zanzibar’s pristine east coast is one of the most evocative experiences in East Africa. The boats are powered by lateen sails, the captains are local fishermen, and the rhythm is older than any motorboat could capture.
This four-day dhow-focused break combines two day-long dhow trips with beach time and stone town exploration.
