A beautiful Indian Ocean resort famous for deep sea fishing and scuba diving. 

 

CHOLE SHAMBA

What this petite paradise offers is something different for the more active beach goers - the largest marine park in East Africa, with whale sharks in residence all year round. Mafia is made up of one large island and several smaller and are the most southern of all Tanzania's offshore destinations. 

When exploring the incredible marine ecosystem that lies beneath the surface you will experience some of the most diverse communities of tropical fish, over 400 species, and pristine, unbleached coral in the Indian Ocean. But it is not just activity within the water that attracts visitors - the wealth extends to the flora and fauna on shore with over 160 species of birds, amphibians and reptiles.
