Hi I'm Danny! I'm travelling around the world! Follow my posts.
We went over to the other side of the island today to a place called Kizimkazi. A slow paced fishing village where nothing much seems to happen. We planned to go swimming with Dolphins.
Whilst this was an amazing opportunity to swim with dolphins and see them out in the wild, but there are also consequences.
There are no regulations on dolphin tourism here, and there are lots of boats, and lots of visitors. The boats almost seem to fight for the best position in order to give tourists the best view.
African Impact are doing research here on the effects of tourism on the dolphins behaviour and numbers. They want to know if it is sustainable.
Alongside this research they are promoting more ethical ways to run these tours by training boat drivers and tour companies. They are also teaching conservation education to local primary schools.
It was an unforgettable experience to swim in the dolphins natural habitat but I definitely had contradicting feelings knowing that something needs to be done to protect these magnificent creatures.
