While Zanzibar is probably the most popular island in East Africa, the small archipelago around Mafia Island, just 160km to its south, remains virtually unknown. Yet for simple ocean pleasures, the Mafia has long been the connoisseur’s choice for genuinely laid-back, feet-in-the-sand island chilling, Diving that ranks amongst the very best in the Indian Ocean, the coast is lined with tangled mangroves and a few golden bays, where traditional dhows and kayaks are launched into the turquoise waters. From rainbow-colored clownfish to octopus, rays, and the odd gigantic grouper to sharks and dolphins in deeper waters, there is always something dramatic to see. Welcome to the magical Island.
