Mafia Island

Mafia Island, part of a magnificent archipelago just off the mainland of Tanzania to the south of Dar Es Salaam, is a treasure of a destination to visit, thanks to its beautiful scenery and slow pace of life. The island has managed to slip under the radar because it is largely neglected by tourists who prefer Zanzibar. In comparison to its more famous neighbor, it is blissfully undeveloped, albeit there are still a few resorts and hotels here and there.

Mafia Island is a wonderful vacation destination that is becoming increasingly popular among scuba divers and snorkelers. Its incredible marine reserve is alive with underwater life, and its magnificent beaches appear like they've been plucked from a travel magazine.

Mafia Island, considered one of Tanzania's best beaches, is home to Humpback Whales and Whale Sharks. Mafia Island is ideal for those looking for adrenaline-pumping activities on their vacation.
