Zanzibar’s northern tip of Nungwi is situated in close proximity to some of Africa’s best deep
sea fishing grounds. The waters between Zanzibar and Pemba are home to some excellent game
fishing opportunities. August to November provides really good sport for the big yellow fin
Tuna, one of the strongest fish around. Big Blue Marlin and a number of Striped and Black
Marlin are also found, as well as Sailfish. During this season, multiple hook ups are normal,
when the ocean can come alive with huge schools of Tuna in pursuit of smaller fish. During the
billfish season, which is from November to March, Striped Marlin are the most prolific,
sometimes showing in packs of ten. Large Blue and Black Marlin are also quite common during
this period.
You can jump into the completely clear waters of the Indian Ocean, or loosen up and absorb the
sun on the beach. It is the ideal retreat to the far-off islands of Mnemba where you can appreciate
the coral nurseries of Mnemba. The late afternoon back to the hotel you booked.
