Local Fishermen Safaris
Cape Peponi works very closely with its neighbours and the arrangements with them really give the guests a chance to go on cheap, very exciting and very traditional safaris. A price list for these safaris will be found at Cape Peponi. The guests will pay Cape Peponi for these trips, the Co. taking 25%, the remaining profit will be given to the fishermen to split between the families of their fishing village. 10% out of the total 100% will be kept by Cape Peponi for the village's own development that includes e.g. generator and light accessories, a down payment on a bore hole followed by the off payment of the same etc. The villagers will air their needs and wishes during village meetings for further discussion. The organization will be taken care of by Cape Ltd's Directors together with the villagers whom are all to help out in the work around their businesses in order not to have any sort of jealousy created along the way. Any problems around this arrangement are also to be openly discussed during the village meetings. All the following safaris and trips will follow this arrangement. back to top

Coral Reef Safaris
Is something that children love! Local reef fishermen (from the neighboring fishing village) will take the children, and others that would like to come, along for a walkabout on the coastal reef, which during low tide becomes like a "road". The guests will be shown how traditional fishing is done here and how the reefs multitude of life survives even during low tide, e.g: octopuses, murenas, mussels, shells, fish and many other aquatic life forms. This walkabout lasts for a few hours, which is enough time to enjoy a self prepared picnic. In some cases a pirogue will come to meet the guests and bring them back to Cape Peponi. back to top

Local Fishermen Trips
Are half day or full day trips where the fishermen from the fishing village bring the guests with them for an experience in traditional fishing techniques as they leave for their days fishing.

Coastal Walkabout Safaris
Safaris led by cunning guides that last for one or two days where children are more then welcome. The local guides will take his/her guests walking along the beaches and in the coastal vegetation, which can be huge trees, bush land or palm draped beach fronts. The guide will talk about and show the regions flora and the fauna, perhaps monkeys, a large range of bird and butterfly species, insects, reptiles and, depending on the area, other kinds of wild life such as antelopes, crocodiles and hippopotamus. Each one carries their own light packing while the Co. supply the necessary equipment in the case of a planned overnight trip. The night will in such a case be spent on one of several huge wooden platforms that are built in the tree tops. Each guest will be supplied with a mosquito net and the platforms' sides have barriers for security. This is the perfect setting for an unforgettable night spent under the cover of the Milky Way. A simple toilet and bathroom commodities are also provided. A pirogue or a smaller dhow will follow the safari and operate as its supply station and as a return ticket for those who prefer not to return by foot. The supply station will bring enough fresh water for drinking, cooking and in order to maintain a certain (fresh water) personal hygiene. All of the cooking is done over an open fire.back to top

Dhow Sailing Trips
Dhow siling trips are for any guest that would like to go for a bit of a sailing tour with Cape Peponi's neighbors. The trip may last as long as an entire day and the destination may be chosen by the guest(s) but the choice can also be suggested by the experiences of the fishermen.

Aquatic Safaris & Trips
Cape Ltd does not believe in "squared arrangements", therefore its Safaris and Trips are very flexible and may be combined in several ways, even so they do follow a certain pattern. For the more adventurous of these safaris Cape Peponi requests its guests to have valid insurances that will cover Tanzania in case of an accident. Cape Peponi will as often as possible arrange for the safaris below to be filmed and these films may purchased by the guests afterwards. The CO's Dhow will of course not always be available for the different shorter safaris but in those cases Cape Peponi's will work together with its fishermen friends and use their dhows. back to top

Windsurf Safaris
Are arranged with a guide that takes the more experienced surfers for long rides inside and outside the coastal reef and out as far as Kilwa Kisivani Island, Kilwa Kivinje, the 100 Hectares and Songo Manara Island. Those safaris last for half a day, a full day or two days with breaks for resting and/or grilling fish on suitable beaches before continuing to the chosen destination where the wind surfers may have the preference to take their meal in one of Cape Peponi's friends restaurants. The night of the two day safaris will either be spent in a Cape Ltd friend's guesthouse, on a desolated beach or in the camp on the 100 Hectares. The surfers will be followed by a small dhow which will be their supply station and rescue boat in case of any accident or emergency, with the boat returning any such people to Cape Peponi.back to top

Snorkeling & Diving Safaris
* within and outside the covering coastal reef
* to the 42 atolls near Cape Peponi
* to Mafia Island and its surrounding coral reefs
* to other nearby places in and around Kilwa Masoko and Kilwa Kisivani.
These trips can last a whole day, several days, or just for a few hours depending on the destination. During the longer trips, the clients sleep either on the Dhow, with associates on the different islands e.g. Songo Songo Islands or on deserted beaches. Night snorkeling/dives is available, as is snorkeling/diving with sharks. Other more adventurous experiences are also offered. Food will be included for safaris longer than half a day. The meals will be eaten on the Dhow, on an island's deserted beach or on an atoll's white shell-sand. Fishing will always be available and whatever the catch is it will be prepared for the guests to enjoy. The guests are at all times accompanied by an experienced diver even though they are permitted to go diving and snorkeling on their own.
All divers must have a valid insurance and diving license/certificate unless they are undertaking such a license with Cape Peponi's diving school.
N.B. As soon as the project has reached its organized business stage more investment will be put into diving, deep sea fishing and water-skiing which will mean that Cape Peponi can offer more of those sports. The reasons for the Co. to go easy on those investments to start with is because it wants to spend some time checking the national and international markets' quest.
This is not all, Cape Ltd also want the best and most competent and qualified of personnel and those are not always that easy to find! The bottom line is that all above activities will exist no matter what but how much and how many versions of each is up to the market to decide. back to top

Specific Diving Safaris
are those going into the rivers where experienced divers (in most cases from a cage) may dive with crocodiles and hippopotamuses. A branch of this is diving safaris with the Dhow on the Rufiji river where dives take place on the wreck of the WWI German canon boat "The Königsberger". Those trips and others may also be combined with Deep Sea Fishing and river fishing. These trips may be arranged according to Diving Clubs' special requests. Cape Peponi is prepared to make arrangements for a combination of trips that last as long as a week or even more and where all equipment is found on the Dhow. back to top

Deep Sea Fishing Safaris
Those Safaris run outside the coastal coral reef and inside the great bay and its havens south and west of Kilwa Masoko. The prey is all the big game living in these waters. The Safaris may last anywhere from half a day to several days, in the latter case the Dhow serves as base and home. The trips may go as far as to Mafia Island (approx. 120km) where "the best big game fishing in the world" is to be found according to the late Ernest Hemmingway. The game caught will be served on the Dhow and/or be frozen to be brought back for other Cape Peponi guests to enjoy. No matter what, Cape Ltd's staff will always encourage the guests to release their catch back into the ocean, as a matter of fact sometimes guests will be forced to let a catch go because of its importance in the environment! Guests can on request be brought as far south as Lindi and to Mtwara near the Mozambique border (approx. 300 - 400km) and long term trips can be requested and arranged by Cape Peponi following the same terms as for the divers. back to top

History Visit Trips
Guests may at all times, (on a 12h request basis) be brought to Kilwa Kivinje or Kilwa Kisivani Island by boat or 4x4 for a visit of those two historical places dating back to 9th century (UNESCO`s World Heritage list 1981).
The place was an ancient capital of the Sultanat of Ali b. al Hasan and it was a centre of trade. There are many sites of great interest such as the great mosque and the palace and other great architectures that come from the time when Kilwa was very rich from controlling the trade of gold. Vasco de Gama was very impressed when he arrived in 1500 and saw the beautiful and modern city of Kilwa. And after 5 years the Portuguese came back and took over the city.

Similar Trips are available to Songo Songo Island and Songo Mnara Island (ruins from the 14th-16th century) that are historical sites and in the same time paradise islands. All versions may be attached to over night arrangements. N.B: Other destinations may be requested for from Cape Peponi and Cape Allied Bush Pilots. back to top

Flight Safaris with Cape Allied Bush Pilots
Are safaris towards the interior and places like: the swamps near Liwale, along the Matandu the Luwego and the Rufiji rivers and naturally the Selous Game Reserve itself and its Siguri Falls. Each safari will last anywhere between a few hours to a day taking the guests for dazzling low flies that will breath-take any normal person!
The departures are from Kilwa Masoko's airstrip and food and drinks will be brought along. The trips most breathtaking moments and guests expressions will be filmed and for sale to the guests, which by the way is a service as part of most safaris and trips. Those trips may also be combined with or have as a target a visit and/or overnight in e.g. Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar or Mt. Kilimanjaro. In case of an overnight stay the guests will be booked with local contacts and brought to and from the airport/airstrip with Cape Allied Dalladallas. back to top

Wild Life Safaris
Cape Ltd would like you to note the following: any man or woman is very vulnerable in the middle of the bush, especially an unchartered one, and companies taking tourists for trekking safaris often have insufficient numbers of men protecting them in case of the worst scenario (even though they follow the regulations) e.g. an attacking group of lions. For this reason Cape Ltd follow a very strict no. of Cape Scouts attached to each group of guests. The balance is as follows: five guests or less are accompanied by three Cape Scouts and 6 - 12 guests are under the protection of four or five Cape Scouts, basically this is the maximum quantity of guests in one group. Cape Scouts are armed with two rifles, one bolt action big caliber hunting rifle and one pump action shotgun.

Cape Ltd does not take part in any "Trophy Hunting Safaris" even though the Co. may go on hunting safaris. Any guest that would enter this category will have to inform Cape Peponi in advance so that all legal permits may be organized. The guest will in such a case be accompanied by Cape Scouts and only be able to shoot a kill that is part of one or several of following categories: lethal sick or wounded animals, old or for other reasons a troublesome animal or/and an animal who has gone way passed his/her productive age and specifically chosen animals meant for meat for the group participating in the safari.
Examples of animals that are illigal to hunt are Elephant and Rhinoceros. Cape Ltd may be the only Co. in Africa that on the contrary actually encourage guests to take part in tracking of orphans and/or animals that e.g. are wounded and that the Scouts want to capture in order to give the necessary care. Of course there are exceptions to this if the animal to be tracked is of a very vicious kind, which is the case with buffalos and leopards.
N.B. Following arrangements are effective for any trek that lasts over a night or more! Maximum 10 guests/group. Each trekking guest is allowed a light packing of maximum 10kg + four one litre water containers. This back pack will be controlled before departure to make sure that unnecessary objects are left behind and that necessary things are brought along. Naturally necessary things, if missing, can be bought from Cape Peponi.
The group will be supported by one porter for every two guests; only if the trek is longer then two days, in all other cases each guest carries his/her own needs The porter's job is to carry light weight tents and shower tents and their accessories, kerosene lamps, mosquito nets, ropes and other useful things. They will also carry all necessary cooking gear, mainly aluminum, a food supply for 5 days/person and extra drinking water also for five days/person or max. 10 liters/person (they drink very little themselves). Each porter will have a load of 25 - 30kg. Most of Cape Ltd's trekking areas are penetrated by rivers and creeks, so during most periods of the year all that is needed to supply good drinking water is water purificators.
The comfort, the service and the food is to be as good as each safari possibly may permit. A certain amount of meat hunting will sometimes take place along the longer safari versions.
Radio contact will be held at all times with camps and paralleling 4x4s, awaiting Dhow, pirogues and Allied Bush Pilots.back to top

The 100 Hectares' Safaris
The Co. arranges several types of Safaris on Cape Ltd's own 100 Hectare land and its surroundings wilderness and within other parts of the region, which in general have a lot of wildlife on land very sparsely occupied by people or "owned" by them.
These Safaris are often combination trips: e.g. the guests may book a two day Safari where they travel to and from the 100 Hectares with the Dhow, passing through the huge bay south and west of Kilwa Masoko and an enormous Mangrove delta, which takes 2 - 4h. During this time the guests may take part in sailing and fishing.
The land Safari starts once the Guests have travelled through rivers in the Mangrove forest that lead them to the mainland and an hours marsh to the 100 Hectares' Banda Camp. This same day may very well continue with a bit of trekking where the guests are accompanied by armed and experienced Cape Scouts, who will also lead them back to the 100 Hectare Banda Camp where the night is spent. The camp offers the guests comfortable Bandas, "bucket shower", plenty of food (generally native dishes), a good and quiet Bar with dining area all built on pillars and from where the evening "traffic" of animals between the forest and the river may be seen up close. Guests that in advance have requested for a night trek will have had this arranged for them by Cape Scouts. This intense experiences where the nights life is seen in its own unique and often brutal way will guarantee leaving a memory for life.
The second day is otherwise the trekking day and a sunrise breakfast and more "traffic watching" for those that are up even before then. The guests are ensured a day of 8 - 10 hours in the bush before they start their return to Cape Peponi. Supplementary days are just a request away from reality. back to top

Crocodile Night Safari on the 100 Hectares
An old "sport" that Mr. T Jansson used to practice but that in this part of the world is hard to stumble across.
The initial such safari will take place on the Mavuji River only and even though the safari may be dedicated to this night sport only it can and will surely also be connected to trekking and other activities. Each large pirogue that goes out on the river at night for such a safari will be manned with two armed Cape Scouts and no more then three guests, also, at no times there will ever be more then three pirogues participating at the same time.
The pirogues will slowly follow the leading one while using torches directed towards the river shore in search for crocodiles. Once one is paralyzed by the light and a pirogue has crept up right next to it, preferably one not biger then 120cm, the catch by one man's hands takes place! All crocodiles caught are set free back into the river.
This type of safari will also be executed on other rivers such as the Matandu and the Rufiji. back to top

The Selous Game Reserve Safaris
The Selous (UNESCO World Herritage List, 1983, the biggest game reserve in Africa!), a 55.000 km² reserve is also on the menu but always with a minimum of an overnight stay. The reserve is either reached by plane, 100 - 120km, or by 4x4, approx. 170km. Everything is included in the price, even the park entry. The reserve visit itself is done by 4x4 and once inside, and if wished, also by foot and always with the protection of the skilled and armed Cape Scouts and in this case also by accompanying Selous Game Scouts.

The 4x4 Safari
For guests that come for a minimum of four days to a week. A few examples follows on how these trips may be performed.
By 4x4 there, maximum six guests/vehicle, and by pirogue, maximum three guests/pirogue, and 4x4 to return. The group leaves Cape Peponi after breakfast in the early morning and arrive by the bandas at Cape Ltd's Matandu Rivershore Camp in the afternoon if by 4x4, and if by plane approx. one hour after departure from Kilwa Masoko's airstrip. In the latter case 4x4 vehicles will wait by the camp to take the guests inside the Selous, the return thereafter has several alternatives.
Full board is included in any of the versions.
N.B. Matandu Rivershore Camp is one of three similar camps that Cape Ltd wants to build in different places in western Tz within the next one and a half years. The exact area where those camps will be built are the places that the Co. will use for its non-permanent camps until the fixed ones have been constructed. Two of those will be prepared with their own air strips, the third may also receive planes but in this case the more suitable for sea planes since this camps "air strip" will be the Rufiji River.
It is during the period of the year when the Matandu is high, approx. five months, that the Selous Safaris use pirogues on the river as an option to do a part or all of the distance from Matandu Rivershore Camp to Kilwa Kivinje, a 250-300km trip. During the rest of the year the Co. use the river-beds as much as possible as "roads" during the dry-season since they often are better than the existing tracks and since it is, even then, one of the most frequent places to run into wild life.
Cape Scouts going down the Matandu will make sure that the guests get very tasty food and that they get to sleep in some extraordinary places along the way. There are several such places since the river runs through canyons, hills/mountains, forests and plains and pass several good rafting places where the pirogues sometimes have to be pushed by on land. Due to the fact that the trip is fairly tough going, the Co. will keep its returning 4x4 nearby at all times in case they are needed. The road runs near the river and the different crews will carry short wave radio communication equipment. The nights spent at Matandu Rivershore Camp will offer a somewhat more luxurious lodging when compared with the 100 Hectares Banda Camp.
The fauna varies from plenty of bird species, to the river's inhabitants, to most of the African wild life that can often be spotted on the riverside banks.
The nature within the Selous offers landscapes like high plateaus, tree dressed Savannah and rain forest, and its wildlife includes most of Africa's game including the White & Black Rhinoceros, herds of several hundred elephants and packs of the otherwise almost extinct Wild Dog and so many others.
Nights may very well be spent inside the Selous, which in this case will be the same type of camps as the provisional one at the Matandu River. If the guests are planning a longer safari in the Selous they will most certainly be able to enjoy a meal from a fresh kill. The remains of the animal will then be arranged in such a way it will attract any of Africa's predators and this feast in the night may be seen by the guests from their look out!
Obviously the more time spent in the Selous the more chance the Co. has to offer the Guests several treks and trackings and/or turns with the 4x4, and therefore also the possibility to see as many animals as possible. back to top

The 7 - 10 Day Trekking Safari
The trip will begin with a 4x4 drive to the Matandu Rivershore Camp where one night is spent. The second day is the first day of a long and tough trek of an average of 10km/day, those that have enough energy to side-track may do so with Cape Scouts.
During this period the guests will cover the 100km distance between Matandu Rivershore Camp and "Siguri Falls Riverlog Camp". The first half goes North to Mkangira and from there the group cuts North-North-West and more or less straight through central Selous to the camp. "Tired" guests may choose to ride with the paralleling, support 4x4 vehicle(s) from the mid point and almost all the way to the destination.
The return to Cape Peponi will be by 4x4 or with Cape Allied Bush Pilots.
A version, available soon, is to be done the same way to the camp but instead of returning from here it continues in big pirogues upon the Rufiji to a point before Stiegler's Gorge. The canyon that the Rufiji runs into will at this point be climbed/trekked as to be able to pass the gorge on its brim and therefore also near the burial site of the man from whom the park got its name, Captain Frederick Courteney Selous who died here in a battle against the Germans during the first world war. Once on the other side the guests will enter the awaiting Dhow or other big pirogues and during this the third leg, of approx. 250km to the river's huge delta opposite to Mafia Island, they will pass the famous wreck of the German 1st. world war cannon boat, the Königsberger. Once upon the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean the guests will either return by Dhow and allied dalladalla (minibus) to Dar, or go back to Cape Peponi by Dhow. No matter what they do this last leg will still bring the guests passed several gorgeous places for snorkeling! The trip will be about 21 - 24 days long.
Cape Ltd would like to mention that there is a shorter version to the safari, which means that the guests would return approx. half way down the Rufiji, or by Utete, go by vehicle to Dar Es Salaam. This would cut the trip short by 5 days.
The Co, is looking into the possibility of offering river rafting within the near future. It knows today about several good places including the nearby rivers Matandu and Mavuji and of course Stiegler's Gorge's raving waters cannot be forgotten!
It is clear that several combinations and solutions are available e.g. fishing both at sea (around Mafia Island) and in the rivers where some of the largest river fishes in the world may be caught, river rafting, 4x4, trekking, river diving, diving and/or snorkeling and why not end it with a visit to the ruins of Kilwa Kisivani Island. Naturally not everyone wants to or can do everything in one trip, but since several of the offers are part of the trip, the guests will also get a chance to experience them, the rest is really all up to the guests wishes and the time that they want to spend here. back to top

The Para Safari
To begin during the second half of 2001 or in the first half of 2002. For guests that come for at least one week.
This Safari is directed towards a specific clientele, namely parachutists. It is also a Safari that even beginners could do in the near future as it will be possible to do a tandem jump with an instructor. We will give you more information about the Para Safaries later.back to top

Bird Watching Safaris

Bird watchers who are interested in the bird-life of Tanzania will be able to go on several different Safaris that specialize in their specific needs. The safaris can bring them to several different wetlands along the Matandu River, to the Mavuji River's wetlands at its source, to the Selous and its huge quantities of fresh water or why not to the havens south and west of Kilwa Masoko that contain massive Mangrove belts with their rich and very different types of bird species.
The days spent in any of the wetlands or on the coast may be adjusted according to the guests wishes and here on Cape Ltd's pontoon camps, as well as in any of Cape Ltd's camps the Bird watchers may spend unforgettable moments. The Safaris will be accompanied by Cape Scouts. back to top

The Havens Safari
The only way to get there is by boat and since the Co. has access to several dhows, and since the Co. has its own big Dhow and several pirogues it really all depends on whether the guests are asking for nights at sea in the havens and amongst its sand bank islands or near the Mangrove belts or even inside them, or if they just want to pass them as a mixed trip with time spent somewhere else e.g. the 100 Hectares?! The idea is that no matter what the bird watchers (and of course anyone interested) need to see a wide range of African bird life, both amongst the land species, the ones that feed from the sea and the ones that then live entirely on what the Mangrove forests brings them.
Like all other Cape Peponi safaris this one too will leave the guests to experience several ways of travelling, and after leaving the dhow they will therefore continue in pirogues through the Mangrove and up rivers that are the actual continuations of rivers on land. Those "sea rivers" sometimes last for several kilometres before reaching land, which is the case of the one leading to the 100 Hectares. Once the guests are there they will go for a shorter trek to the camp where they will spend the night. The second day will be a longer trek along the Mavuji river or/and it will continue upon the river with the pirogues.
As mentioned, if the bird watchers would like to spend an extra day or even more on this trip there are several destinations that may be reached. back to top

The Matandu Safari
This safari's plan depends a bit on the bird watchers wishes and the season. If they allow themselves to take a day or more extra then the wetlands at the beginning of one of the Matandu River's branches may be reached by pirogue, but only during the period of the year when the river is full. If not these extra days, then the wetlands will have to be reached by 4x4 and once near them the guests will enter pirogues in order to continue inside the richest parts of the area.
The time that may be spent here is far longer than this safari allows but the Co. will still make sure that its guests get nothing but quality time and that they will be shown all possible animal varities that inhabit the wetlands. Obviously the bird watchers are there mainly for the birds but in a region such as this you can not help witnessing a great deal of other animals, including hippopotamus, crocodile, antelopes and so many more, which naturally is the same for any of the bird watchers destinations both at sea and on land!
N.B. The nights in the wetlands are spent in log camps/pontoon camps and since several parts, even in these areas, are above the water level the guests will also be taken on treks. back to top

The Mavuji River & Wetlands Safari
There are two ways to get to these wetlands: one is by 4x4 then on foot, the other is by dhow, pirogue and finally on foot. The season does not matter in this case since the Mavuji River keeps water all along the year. (cont.)
The 4x4 version is "lazier" while the pirogue version takes more effort due to the time it requires and due to obstacles on the way that have to be bypassed, what the "effort" does not include is paddling, but you can if you like! Whatever the choice may be it is always possible to mix the two different ways of going and leaving.
This safari lasts 4 days, therefore the bird watchers may take their time and get enough quality time in each place. At least one night will be spent in the wetlands log camp and normally the guests will also experience the African night in what the Co. refers to as "sleeping Camps", which are places that are frequently used by the Co. but that do not contain any fixed personnel.
N.B. The above safaris also allow the guests to take part in a look out from night covers, that are built especially to watch the animals that only are active during the night. These moments often become very exciting since these wetlands regularly are visited by lions that often do their hunting during the night. There is surely a mosquito problem in these areas and the Co.'s staff are very much aware of it, therefore the camps have protections against the mosquitoes and the scouts themselves have good knowledge in how to keep these insects away and how to protect oneself against them. back to top

Hot Air Balloon Safaris
Cape Ltd will have a great variety of short and plain balloon rides to some very serious safari combinations both over ocean and land.
It is clear to the Co. that any of above versions of safaris will be able to be combined with Hot Air Ballooning! To fly in silence over Tanzanian coral reefs and islands on the way to a snorkeling and diving destination; to cruise over rivers, forests, savhanas and hills on the way to a trek of a lifetime, or to simply hang way up there in the blue skies is as exhilirating as any peaceful experience can possibly get!
The ballooning is planned to become part of Cape Peponi's offers to its guests from 2001, when Cape Ltd's friend who today is one of the worlds major balloonists will join the project.back to top

Sailing Trips
The Dhow will have multiple use such as: transporting guests to and from Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar and even Mombasa to Cape Peponi during two - four day cruises that will include the chance to enjoy several kinds of marine sports; long cruises to such distant destinations as Mozambique, South Africa, the Komore Islands and Madagascar; functioning as diving and snorkeling station and as the CO's Deep Sea Fishing boat; taking guests on safaris going up the big rivers Rufiji and Ruvuma; transporting materials and goods for Cape Ltd etc.

The carpenters of this 25+ ton Arab styled sailing boat are from Mafia island and amongst the best found in East Africa. The building itself will take up to three months and will most likely take place on the part of Kilwa Masoko beach that borders Cape Peponi. We will let you know, when it`s ready.

This sailing boat will be built following a standard look, which means that it is totally open with a smaller rear deck for the Steersman/Captain. Cape Ltd Carpenters will later fit an inboard diesel motor and a compressor, and built Double Cabins and a fully covering deck.
