Mafia Island Overview

Mafia's isolated shoals, moving whale sharks, settling turtles and laid-back vibe make this island just wizardry. With white sandy sea shores, amazing sea blue waters and refreshingly couple of travellers, Mafia is frequently portrayed as Zanzibar 30 years prior. A laid-back eco-elective with no landing area streets, scarcely any inns, no shops, no ATMs (charge cards are acknowledged at the up-market lodges) which isn't intended for standard the travel industry. Be cautioned, on the off chance that you need extravagant shops and a wild night-life, Mafia isn't for you.

While Zanzibar is presumably the most well-known island in East Africa, the little archipelago around Mafia Island, only 160km to its south, remains practically obscure. However for straightforward sea delights, Mafia has for some time been the authority's decision for truly laid-back, feet-in-the-sand Island chilling.

The coast is fixed with tangled mangroves and a couple of brilliant narrows, where customary dhows and kayaks are dispatched into the turquoise waters. Sea shore darlings head out by boat to completely untainted shoals, where encircled by tenderly lapping sea waves, they can excursion and swim from perfect, powder-white bows of sand. On showing up at Mafia's little air terminal, obviously the speed of life is delayed here. As of late cleared streets lead through the tired capital of Kilindoni, prior to offering approach to cultivating and fishing towns, rich coconut manors and thick backwoods of baobabs, mangos and cashews.
