Mafia

Mafia Island is located off the southeastern coast of Tanzania, within the Indian Ocean, and is part of the Mafia Archipelago. Known for its rich marine life, clear waters, and unspoiled coral reefs, Mafia Island is a paradise for divers and snorkelers. The island is part of the Mafia Island Marine Park, Tanzania’s first marine park, which protects a variety of marine ecosystems including coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds. Mafia Island is quieter and less commercialized compared to Zanzibar and Pemba, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The island is also famous for seasonal whale shark sightings, especially from October to March. In addition to its marine attractions, Mafia Island offers cultural experiences, traditional Swahili villages, and historical sites dating back to the 12th century.
