Tanzania's Mafia Archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean, includes Mafia Island. Large portions of the Mafia Island Marine Park's southern coastline and surrounding waters are protected. There are several coral reefs in the park, which are home to animals like sea turtles and whale sharks.
Mafia Island is very small. If you are staying in Kilindoni, everything is within walking distance. In the center are the main road and a market. From here, the airport is 5 minutes (walk), the port 5 minutes, and a swimmable beach 15 minutes, with all restaurants and bars (there aren’t many!) sitting in between.
Despite 3 Days 2 Nights Mafia Island, it’s possible for a One-day trip safari from Zanzibar Island by Flight, this departs from Zanzibar to Mafia from 07:00 at Zanzibar Airport.
Begin your day with a boat ride to Chole Bay or Tumbatu Island for a memorable scuba diving or snorkeling experience amidst colorful coral reefs brimming with marine life. After that, have a beachside lunch of fresh seafood before going dolphin watching in the Indian Ocean's shallow waters, where you might see playful dolphins. After a day of exploring, head back to your lodging for a restful evening.
Explore the distinctive sandbars, plunge into the crystal-clear waters, and take in the amazing marine biodiversity at the Mafia Island Marine Park to start the day. Visit Mafia Island Village in the afternoon to learn about the customs and heritage of the locals, or go on a tour of the historic ruins of Kua and Chole Island to fully immerse yourself in the island's rich history and culture. End the day with a traditional Tanzanian meal or a cultural performance.
Before you leave on your last morning, use the time to unwind. Take a final stroll around the island, indulge in a spa treatment, or simply enjoy the tranquil beaches during your free day. Transfer to the airport for your flight after lunch, taking with you priceless memories of your stay on Mafia Island.
