MAFIA ISLAND

With crystal-clear waters, Mafia Island is a jewel of the Indian ocean. The island is home to pristine coral reefs, whale sharks and humpback whales. Picture this: a sleepy archipelago, dotted with sandbanks, islets, coastal forests, mangrove forests, inland lagoons and kilometres of pristine coral reef. Now, add a sprinkle of culture, a dash of history and a whole lot of sunshine and there you have it!
