Sunset over the beach in front of Cterra Saadani

Sunset dhow cruise with refreshments

The same sail, at the hour the light turns, with drinks aboard.

The same traditional dhow and the same village crew, taken out at the hour the light turns, with drinks aboard.

This coast faces east, so the sun sets behind the bush rather than over the water — what you get instead is the whole sky going colour over the Indian Ocean, and the shoreline turning gold behind you.

What is included

  • The dhow to yourselves, crewed by the village.
  • Refreshments served aboard.
  • The hour before dusk, when the light is at its best.
  • Sailing off the five kilometres of beach in front of the camp.

Worth knowing before you book

  • The price is per dhow, not per person.
  • It leaves from the camp beach, outside the park: no park entry fee.
  • The crew will not sail in poor sea conditions, and that decision is theirs.
