Kizimkazi has a host of attractions to offer such as the Shirazi Mosque of Dimbani which is estimated to be 1,000 years old and some historic caves but the most prominent of attractions are the dolphins. Kizimkazi is viewed as the best spot for watching dolphins and sperm whales on the entire East African coast. Studies recommended that plenty of turtles as well saunter to the shores. In absence of adequate visitor facilities, these tourists are catered for by an unorganized variety of tour operators who channel their livelihood through regular trips on a normal motor boat. Given luck, tourists may see 'Spinner dolphins' 'Common dolphins and False Killer whales.
Local fishermen are quite adept on the locations and help to discover the aforesaid species.
Spinner dolphins average six ft. in length and have a slender body, a long thin head and large flippers. Their typical behavior is to appear in large collections unless they feel wary and shy of the boats. But most of them are still sparked into a running frenzy by the approach of the motor. Normally the entire school explodes into action, towards or away from the vessel, churning the water up into boiling foam with their rapid leaping movements. Most dolphins make a series of very long jumps, but every few seconds one or more schools hurls itself high into the air, twisting their bodies or simply spinning over.
