An Authentic Photoshoot Experience with a Twist

We’re all familiar with the typical beach photos—posing in front of palm trees or splashing around in the surf. This Zanzibar float photoshoot elevates that concept by adding inflatable props that are both eye-catching and playful. It’s a chance to channel your inner model while having fun on the water.

The experience is led by a professional photographer equipped with a high-end mirrorless camera and pro lens, which is promising for those keen on truly high-quality images. The photographer is not just snapping shots but guiding you through poses and offering tips, making it suitable even if you’re not a natural behind the camera.

What sets this apart from standard beach photos is the focus on the inflatable floats. Whether you choose the giant flamingo, the airplane, or the quirky cell phone, each float adds a whimsical element that makes your images pop. You’ll love the way these colorful inflatables contrast with Zanzibar’s turquoise waters, making your photos vibrant and fun.

What the Tour Includes and How It Works

Starting at the outdoor gym on Kendwa Beach next to Zuri Hotel, you’ll meet your photographer for this laid-back session. The meeting point is easy to find and close to the beach’s main spots, so you’ll likely be ready to jump into the shallow waters within minutes of arrival.

Once you’ve made your choice of float, the photographer will guide you into the water—expect to get your feet wet but not fully immersed in deep water. The session typically lasts enough time to capture a variety of shots, with the photographer encouraging different poses and angles.

The package includes the use of one float—so if you’re torn between flamingo and airplane, you’ll need to choose beforehand. After the session, you’ll receive:

• 10 professionally edited photos
• 5 edited video clips
• 1 Instagram reel

All images and clips come via a private online gallery a few days later, allowing you to download and share easily. This high-quality output means you’ll get polished photos perfect for social media or keepsakes.

Why It’s a Great Value

At $100 per person, this experience offers a lot for a relatively modest investment. You’re not just paying for the photos—you’re paying for the fun, the professional guidance, and the memories created in a stunning location.

Some reviews highlight that the photographer’s guidance made the experience enjoyable even for those nervous about posing. Others mention that the shots turned out better than expected, especially considering the relaxed, playful atmosphere. For solo travelers, couples, or families wanting a unique activity, it’s an engaging way to create content that stands out.

Keep in mind, transportation isn’t included, so plan accordingly to arrive promptly. The session is designed to be flexible, with rescheduling possible in case of weather issues like strong wind or unsafe water conditions.

The Setting: Kendwa Beach

Kendwa Beach itself is a highlight. Known for its wide sands and calm waters, it’s perfect for shallow water activities. The backdrop of palm trees and clear skies makes every shot picture-perfect.

Guests note that the waters are typically calm, which makes floating and posing easier and safer. The experience is suited for those comfortable in water, as you’ll need to wade into shallow areas. Experienced travelers appreciate the professionalism of the photographer, who is attentive and patient, helping even beginners to get natural and lively shots.
