Mafia Island
canadian pharmacy cialiscanadian cialis viagra generic vs brand cialis 40mg
Mafia Island is a popular destination for visitors to relax after their safari and the island’s relaxed and secluded beaches offer privacy and comfort for discerning travellers. Mafia’s incredible and unspoilt dive sites have remained a well-kept secret of diving aficionados and beach recluses for years, but now the island is fast becoming a preferred destination.
For centuries, the island was a trading stop for Shirazi merchants travelling up towards Persia and under the rule of the Omani sultanate in Zanzibar, vast coconut and cashew plantations flourished. Today, all that remain of the island’s prestigious past are the coral ruins on Chole Mjini, the small island just off Hore from Mafia where the Arab landowners lived a sumptuous life removed from their plantations and slaves.
These days, Mafia’s remote location means it receives only the most selective visitors, but things are changing. The recent gazetting of Mafia Island Marine Park – the largest protected area in the Indian Ocean – to include surrounding villages in its conservation efforts means that the millions of fish and coral species that thrive in the warm waters of Mafia’s beaches will survive for decades to come.
Customer Testimonials
Sabina Erny and Tilman Koerner told us:
thank you a lot for the good and wonderful safari you organized. We were very happy with our driver Patric who did a professional and reliable job. Please pass our greetings to him. And the scenery as well as the animals and parcs were great.
Joan Kinney told us:
Not only did our guide show us where to go on tour but also assisted other travelers. He really made everything go smoothly and went the extra mile for everyone.
Doug told us:
It has taken a long time to sort through my 1700 photos I took whilst in Tanzania - most of which I took in the Serengeti, Crater and Manyara areas. Now that I have completed that task I wanted to let you know just how fantastic my trip was on safari with Bobby Tours. I had an amazing time mainly due to our driver Julius who has the eyes of a hawk and can spot the face of a cheetah at 200m in a bush! I had to use binoculars and sure enough, I got to see a cheetah in the wild. We ended up seeing all the big 5 (including rhino in the crater) over the 3 days. The accommodation arranged at the Serena Lodges was awesome, with great views. I have been wanting to go on safari for decades and finally when I do get to go, the journey surpassed all expectations. I have brought back videos and stills of hyena and lion cubs walking past the 4x4 just a few feet away. I must have taken 100+ photos of the giraffes! Many thanks for an amazing experience. All the best Doug
