Day wise Itinerary

  • Day 1 : Mafia Island

    Discover the tranquil beauty and unparalleled marine life of Mafia Island, an idyllic getaway located south of Zanzibar. This serene island is accessible via a short 30-minute flight from Dar-es-Salaam or a 4-hour boat ride to the port of Mafia. Known for its unspoiled natural beauty, Mafia Island offers an extraordinary opportunity to swim with whale sharks and explore a pristine underwater world.

    About Whale Sharks:

    Whale sharks, the largest of all sea creatures, can grow up to 12 meters in length and weigh as much as 21.5 tons. Despite their massive size, they are gentle giants. These slow-moving creatures have about 3,000 tiny teeth that help them filter plankton and small fish through their gills, as they do not bite or chew. Whale sharks have a lifespan of 70 to 100 years and travel long distances to find food. Their mouths can stretch over 1 meter wide, allowing them to filter enormous amounts of water for nourishment.

    Activities on Mafia Island:

    Whale Shark Swimming: Dive into the crystal-clear waters to swim alongside these majestic creatures. The experience is serene and unforgettable, offering close encounters with these gentle giants.

    Snorkeling: Explore the vibrant marine life in the protected marine park. Look out for eels, turtles, and octopuses as you snorkel in the tranquil waters.

    Lagoon Relaxation: Spend a relaxing afternoon at a beautiful lagoon. The calm waters are perfect for cooling off and unwinding amidst stunning natural surroundings.

    Island Hippos: Visit a unique spot where you might encounter some of the island’s elusive hippos.

    Sunset Cruise and BBQ: On request, enjoy a scenic sunset cruise followed by a delicious BBQ on the beach, making for a perfect end to a day of adventure.

    Bird Watching: Mafia Island is a haven for bird enthusiasts. Spend your afternoons bird-watching and, with a bit of luck, you might witness a turtle hatch.

    Local Cuisine: Explore the island’s charming streets and sample organic, local foods. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and authentic flavors of the region.
