The Indian Ocean's Best Kept Secret

Tanzania's Indian Ocean coastline is one of diving's great secrets. The waters off Zanzibar, Mafia Island, and Pemba Island offer stunning coral wall dives, drift dives, and calm lagoon snorkelling, in water that stays between 26–30°C year-round.

Mafia Island Marine Park is widely regarded as one of the finest dive sites in the Indian Ocean — pristine coral gardens, manta rays, green and hawksbill turtles, napoleon wrasse, and seasonal whale shark encounters from October to February.

We seamlessly combine diving with mainland safari itineraries — typically 4–7 days game drive followed by 3–7 days diving. A week watching lions in the Serengeti followed by a week on Mafia Island is a genuinely extraordinary combination.
