Dates: November 12th - November 18th, 2026

We’re going to Africa. This trip is part of The Motherland Series, created as a space reserved for Black divers to connect, return, and spend time in a place that holds pieces of our story. My visit to Zanzibar was soul nourishing, and I couldn’t wait to bring you all back with me. We’ll be staying in a lively beach town with luminous, crystal blue water that looks like it’s glowing. Beyond diving, we’ll visit a spice farm, take a Swahili cooking class, and take a dance class with local dancers, then explore the colorful, vibrant streets of Stone Town. But what stayed with me most was the feeling of being embraced, not just as a visitor, but as a sister from across the sea. Let’s go home.

  • Destination: Zanzibar, Tanzania

  • Certification level required: Open Water or higher

Itinerary for already certified divers.

Our Trip

We're going to Africa.

Zanzibar is one of those places that feels almost unreal. Crystal clear turquoise water, white sand beaches, vibrant culture, incredible diving, and some of the warmest people you'll ever meet.

We'll be staying in Nungwi, a lively beach town on the northern coast of Zanzibar. The diving here is relaxed, colorful, and beautiful. We'll explore top sites including Mnemba Island, Tumbatu Island, and Magic Reef, known for soft coral gardens, reef fish, turtles, and stunning visibility.

Beyond diving, we'll experience the island's culture through a Swahili cooking class, a spice farm tour, a Stone Town cultural tour, and a traditional Ngoma dance class. Zanzibar offers the perfect blend of ocean adventure, cultural connection, and relaxation.

This trip is part of The Motherland Series, a collection of journeys focused on connection, exploration, and returning to the African continent through shared experiences in the ocean.
