Mafia Island is a great destination for the adventurous traveller who is interested in active holiday fishing, snorkeling and diving.  In the pools left by the receding tide you will find live cowries and other shells, small moray eels and juvenile fish, as well as a myriad of starfish.

It has many untouched pristine beaches with white sand and turquoise waters, a perfect destination for relaxation.

Bird-watching

Bird watching in Mafia adds a very interesting dimension to a Tanzania wildlife safari, as the visitor will see many species of shorebird, including migrants such as the Crab Plover, and other species found in coastal thickets and mangroves that cannot be observed in the main land National Parks and Reserves.
