5 Days Magnificient Mafia Island Tour
Descriptions
5 Days Magnificient Mafia Island Tour in Tanzania. Mafia Island is an archipelago located magnificently across the southern circuit of Tanzania and Zanzibar Island yet inside the Indian Ocean with an exclusive wildlife reserve. Mafia Island and its reefs are renowned as an excellent, world-class diving destination. Scientists have confirmed that Mafia has some of the richest reefs in the world, with an unparalleled variety of hard and soft corals and a diversity of tropical fish.
The terrestrial and reef ecosystems are fascinating and over the years we have spent a great deal of time researching these aspects of the islands and ensure that our snorkeling and scuba trips give visitors an unforgettable experience.
The diving here is truly World-class with a vast variety of corals and fish; being a breeding ground the Bay is always full of shoals of fish. And to enhance your stay with us we have guided walks and nature trails to enjoy the native trees, animals and birdlife, cultural visits to villages to understand local village life and watch skilled craftsmen at work, sailing in traditional dhows and Ngalawa’s, and fantastic day picnic trips to outer islands, sandbanks and beaches.
We do make guided excursions to examine these for those interested in history, ancient trade and the promise of new discoveries.
A lasting memory you will take away is how happy and spontaneous people are. Most of all Mafia is wonderfully peaceful and calming and a perfect place to find your feet again.
It may be realized by now, that tourists looking for night life, Mafia is not the place to come! Unless of course you wish to include night dives, dinners on the beach, star-gazing etc. And don’t forget that by the time you have finished the day, evening cocktails and a splendid dinner, we bet you won’t have much energy left to waste!
We have identified fabulous dive sites of immense beauty and richness, channels, walls and caverns, drift and night dives.
