Boasting fantastic snorkeling and sunbathing, it is no surprise that Bongoyo Island is such a popular day trip destination amongst both locals and foreigners. Located just a short boat trip away from Dar Es Salaam, this scenic island is part of the Dar Es Salaam Marine Reserve; as such, everything looks untouched and unspoiled.
Because it is uninhabited, it is impossible to stay overnight on the island. Some guests bring their own food and drinks, as there are only a couple of small beach bars which offer refreshments.
Covered in trees, the island is quite rocky in some places, but there is nothing to complain about when it comes to its two beaches – both of them look incredible.
