Travel With Me - Mafia Island - BEST and Most beautiful Places.
Located southeast of Dar es Salaam off Tanzania’s Swahili Coast, Mafia Island is a Unique Destination for divers, nature lovers and adventurous spirits. Mafia fulfils all the requirements of a tropical paradise, with white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a lush green interior intersected by unpaved roads. This Island is much less known and definitely much quieter than Zanzibar, but it offers the most incredible diving experiences and embodies the real definition of barefoot luxury. The water is beautifully transparent with fantastic views of the unspoiled coral reef; the variety of the coral permits an unimaginable quantity of fish, with diving and snorkeling sites just a short boat ride away.

Mafia Island, Island in Tanzania.
Mafia Island is part of Tanzania's Mafia Archipelago, in the Indian Ocean. Large swaths of the island's southern coastline and surrounding waters are protected by the Mafia Island Marine Park. Within the park are many coral reefs, home to wildlife such as whale sharks and sea turtles. In the south, beaches include secluded Ras Kisimani, just across from Bwejuu Island. Popular Utende Beach edges onto Chole Bay.
- Why is Mafia Island called Mafia Island?
The name Mafia derives from the Arabic morfiyeh, meaning group or archipelago, or from the Swahili mahali pa afya, meaning a healthy dwelling-place. In 1995 Mafia Island had financial help from the WWF to make a natural marine wildlife centre which led to establishment of the first Marine Park in Tanzania.
- When can you see whale sharks in Mafia Island?
The best season for whale shark sighting is from October to February each year. November and December is the most reliable time for whale sharks sighting at Mafia Island. During peak season whale sharks can be easily seen nearshore.
- Can whale sharks eat you?
Whale sharks are really big. Their mouths can get up to five feet long, and they can suck in 600 cubic meters of water every hour. The sharks know that they can't eat you, and they often close their mouths around big prey like you or big fish.
- How do you get to Mafia Island?
The easiest way to get to Mafia Island is on a plane. Coastal Aviation and Auric Air both offer multiple daily flights from Dar es Salaam, which take approximately 30 minutes. Budget travelers can also opt to travel to Mafia by ferry.
- Why visit Mafia Island Tanzania?
For the average tourist, the reason to head to the island is for the fantastic Mafia Island Marine Park that encompasses around 50% of the coastal waters of the island. On top of this, there are a few remnants of Mafia’s more important past, as a trading post for the Omanis’ and also as a small colony for the Germans….a good example of their legacy is on Chole Island where it is possible to wander amongst the overgrown buildings and walls.

Holidays on Mafia Island
Eine Woche Urlaub auf Mafia Island im Zanzibar Archipel. Wunderbare Unterkunft im Butiama Marine Camp. Wir wohnten in einem Zelt, was recht spartanisch aber super sauber und ein tolles Abenteuer war!!
Erwähnen muss man unbedingt die Restaurants am Strand und insbesondere Zubis Swahili Local Restaurant. Unglaublich was man unter einfachen Bedienungen auf den Teller Zaubern kann. Nebenbei kann man bei Zubi auch super Ausflüge buchen. Wir fuhren mit einem Tuk Tuk quer über die Insel zum Hippo Lacke und konnten tatsächlich Flusspferde in Feier Wildbahn sehen. Wohlgemerkt die Fahrt an sich war schon ihr Geld wert.
