Part of a gorgeous archipelago that lies just off the mainland of Tanzania to the south of Dar Es Salaam, Mafia Island is a gem of a place to visit, thanks to its beautiful scenery and relaxed pace of life.
As it is mostly overlooked by tourists who favor Zanzibar, the island has managed to fly under the radar. It is delightfully undeveloped in comparison with its more illustrious neighbor, although there are still a number of resorts and hotels here and there.
Mafia Island is a charming place to holiday and is an increasingly popular spot amongst scuba divers and snorkelers. Its amazing marine reserve is teeming with underwater life, while its stunning beaches look as if they’ve been taken straight out of a travel catalog.
