Fungu Yasini Island

Fungu Yasini Island (or simply Fungu Yasini) is an uninhabited island in Tanzania, north of the country's capital city, Dar es Salaam and is one of the four islands of the Dar es Salaam Marine Reserve (DMRS). It is about three miles offshore in the Indian Ocean (Zanzibar Channel).

This little paradise is absolutely worth visiting. You can either connect with a local who will recommend how to get there or even take you there or book it with one of the several island tour boats in the area. The majority of the travelers would just go to prison island and ignore this gem but it is worth visiting. Let's walk on this sandbank and the water was a beautiful deep turquoise shade. It’s very picturesque especially if you own a drone. You can also go to another sandbank that is nearby from Fungu Yassin Island. Don't hesitate to visit Fungu Yasini Island - one of the best islands in Tanzania!
