A getaway to Mafia Island is just what you need to get away from it all. There are no paved roads and very few visitors because this island has maintained its pristine, unspoiled nature. Several decades ago, it was similar to Zanzibar. There is complete tranquility here, and the locals couldn’t be friendlier.

Coral reefs, among of the world’s most abundant, surround the island of Mafia, which is in the Zanzibar Archipelago. In the Mafia Island Marine Park, which encompasses over half of Mafia’s coastline, you may see lagoons, mangrove forests, and coral reefs. When it comes to marine preserves in the Indian Ocean, this one is massive. Snorkelers and scuba divers will be enchanted by the barrier reef. More than 460 fish species and 50 types of corals call this place home.

The wonderful, unspoiled dive sites in Mafia have been kept secret. The majority of the island is encircled by mangrove trees, which means that the uninhabited beaches are narrower than those in Zanzibar but no less picturesque. The island is most famous for its vibrant aquatic life. Humpback whales, turtles, and the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, can all be seen here. So, after a Tanzanian safari, honeymooners and other vacationers can relax in style on Mafia Island.
