Lying just off the coast of mainland Tanzania, Mbudya Island makes for a fantastic day trip from Dar Es Salaam and is only a 20-minute boat ride away. For people looking to escape the city’s busy streets, Mbudya Island offers a welcoming reprieve; its beach is as beautiful as they come, with the pearly white sands contrasting delightfully with the vivid turquoise of the water.
The surrounding waters are home to some wonderful coral reefs, and snorkeling above the colorful fish that flit back and forth is the perfect way to work up an appetite. Luckily, there is a little beach shack serving up local delicacies for you to enjoy.
