DHOWS A dhow is a traditional Zanzibari sailing vessel with one or more lateen sails. They are made of wood and are a common sight along the Zanzibar coastline. For celestial navigation, dhow sailors have traditionally used the kamal. This observation device determines latitude by finding the angle of the Pole Star above the horizon. Up to the 1960s, dhows made commercial journeys between the Persian Gulf and East Africa using only sails as a means of propulsion. The freight was mostly dates and fish to East Africa and mangrove timber to the lands in the Persian Gulf. |
|||
![]() |
Today they are still widely used in
trade and transport, but often make use of motors. Additional Dhows - 16 people per Dhow $700.-USD Additional Dhows can be arranged at your request. The maximum number of guests on each Dhow is set at 16, allowing your guests to enjoy their Dhow ride in comfort and safety. The cost for an extra Dhow includes wine, soda and water. |

HENNA PAINTING Maju has a banda on the beach at Mtoni Marine. People come from all over to have their hands and feet decorated by her. It is recommended that you have the henna done the day before your wedding. This is because it can take about an hour for the henna to dry before you get to rinse it off in order to reveal the delicate design. There is something deeply satisfying for a bride to have her hands and feet painted on the day before her wedding with beautiful intricate designs. She is revered by the wedding party and henna is used as a means of idolizing her. In some Indian traditions, the bride is not allowed to do any work before or after her wedding until all the stain has disappeared! In Middle Eastern cultures, henna tattooing is still a whole day affair during which the new bride gets to know the groom's mother and sisters. It is a celebratory, rather than a spiritual ritual it is the equivalent to the pre-wedding makeover and manicure of Western brides. |

|
|
How long the designs last on the skin
depends how people take care of them.
To prolong a design, it is
suggested that you keep the area moisturized. The skin should not be
scrubbed, exfoliated or rubbed unless you want to hurry the fading
process. Please make an appointment in advance, so that a proper day of papering can be organized for you and the girls, champagne, tea, henna and fun… |

TRANSFERS, TOURS, EXPLORING AND MORE 'Come with us and SeaZanzibar' is their slogan and we strongly recommend that you make use of their services for all transfers and tours.

DANCE FLOOR
To accommodate you, we create a dance floor for you out of the sand, on the sand. We smooth away the soft sand until we reach the harder more stable sand, which becomes the base of the dance floor. We then use the soft sand to create an edge around the dancing area. We enhance with dance floor edge with lanterns and shells. Just the thing to complete the island experience. |
||
|
NUMBER OF PEOPLE For both the Beach and the Dhow wedding packages, the minimum number of people is just two. However we can accommodate up to 120 people. For the Sandbank there need to be at least 20 people and for the Mbweni Ruins wedding, 40 people, but there is a maximum of 120 people. Exclusive use of the restaurant is granted to those who have at least 60 people in their party. Exclusive use of the entire restaurant will be given to groups of less than 60 people, only if they pay for the minimum of 60 people. The hiring of the Islanders Band is also only for when exclusive use of the restaurant is granted. |
