Safari Blue, Zanzibar

This is Mwinyi Said. The first crew member of Safari Blue working with us from 1995 until he retired due to ill health about 18 months ago. Mwinyi was so instrumental in those early days of setting up Safari Blue and remained a key and important figure over the years. Mwinyi introduced many family members and friends to us, all of whom remain on our team today. Sadly on Thursday 23rd January after a grueling illness Mwinyi passed away. His funeral was one of the biggest Fumba village had ever seen; he was such an important figure for so many. Passionate about the sea, a highly competent sailor, he will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Mwinyi. We will never forget you.

Said doubles up as the butler at The Deck our latest private dining location. He also got married 2 weeks ago, so one way and another he is a very busy man! Always smiling always polite and always putting service first! Thank you Said

Considering booking a Safari Blue tour? PLEASE do not use either Getyourguide or Viator/Tripadvisor to make your booking! They have a host of fake Safari Blue tours using our name and even photos of our boats, crew and guests! BUT they are not the real deal. This e mail was received yesterday from an unsuspecting tourist and is unfortunately typical of those who don’t follow our advice. Use our website - it’s user friendly and safe. Be smart Be safe!
