3-Day Mafia Island Whale Shark Safari

3 Days Mafia Island, Tanzania Abakombe Tours and Safaris 5.0/5 from 1 review

Overview

A trip to Mafia Island, one of the few places in the world with reliable seasonal whale shark sightings, alongside a marine park protecting some of Tanzania's healthiest coral reefs.

Mafia Island Marine Park is one of the best places globally to snorkel alongside whale sharks, the world's largest fish species, which gather seasonally to feed on plankton blooms near Kilindoni. The island is far less developed than Zanzibar, offering a quieter, marine-conservation-focused alternative for travelers who prioritize wildlife over nightlife.

Migration Serengeti Safari provided a wonderful safari tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the trip was well organized, and the Serengeti experience was amazing. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
