THIS IS MAFIA ISLAND | TANZANIA
Mafia Island is an incredible destination. Whether you want to swim with massive whale sharks, scuba dive in beautiful waters, or relax all day with the sound of the ocean, Mafia has it all.
We stayed at Big Blu Dive Center in Utende, and we saw the whale sharks in Kilindoni, which is where the airport is.
A separate travel guide video is coming soon!
The second half of the video is shot on Chole Island, which is a short boat ride away from Mafia. It's a pretty unique cultural experience that's worth the trip.

WELCOME TO MAFIA ISLAND | A Week of Scuba in Tanzania
We could think of no better way to follow our amazing safari trip than with more wildlife -- but this time, we're going underwater!
After saying our goodbyes to Zambia, we made our way to Mafia Island, Tanzania for a week of scuba diving at Shamba Kilole Eco Lodge. We weren't exactly sure what to expect from this leg of our trip, but it turned out to be a HUGE highlight! Diving in Mafia Island is outstanding and Shamba Kilole is a true hidden gem -- we couldn't have picked a better place to spend Christmas and ring in the New Year.
Chris and Michelle Go Places is a series of vlogs documenting our travels across the world. We're on a six month sabbatical from work and intend to soak up every minute. Subscribe to follow our adventures!

Tanzania Marine & Diving with Frontier in Mafia Island
Tanzania's coast is home to some of the most spectacular diving in the world. The crystal clear waters host a wealth of marine habitats and wildlife, making this a perfect location to learn to scuba dive and explore this pristine and magical underwater world. The vivid, multi-hued coral reefs support a dazzling array of tropical reef fish and provide rich feeding grounds for turtles, rays and other marine creatures, whilst the deep blue offshore waters support sharks, dolphins and whale sharks, as well as vast shoals of cruising pelagics.
This video was filmed on Frontier's Tanzania Marine Project, based within Mafia Island Marine Park (MIMP), a protected conservation area of this small archipelago in the Indian Ocean. Volunteer learn over 180 varieties of fish, invertebrates, coral and other ocean organisms, conservation techniques and carry out scientific studies within MIMP.
Frontier would like to thank volunteer Russell Knight for the amazing footages.

Mafia Island & Marine Reserve
Chole Mjini Lodge, Chole Island, Tanzania
Chole Mjini is a treehouse lodge is on a tiny island off a small island called Mafia. Mafia and Chole Islands are about 100 Kms south of Zanzibar, offshore from the Tanzania mainland’s Rufiji Delta.
Chole MjiniChole Bay, Mafia’s protected deep-water anchorage and the original harbour, is studded with islands, sandbanks and beaches. The clear, protected waters offer wonderful snorkelling, sailing and swimming. Outside the Bay unbroken reef runs the length of the island, from Tutia in the south to Ras Mkumbi at the northern tip. Mafia Island Marine Park is a protected environment for coral reef and other ecosystems. Bird-watching is excellent and very different to the mainland parks. The tidal flats and mangroves are always alive with coastal and sea birds and there are many colourful woodland and forest species. There are also roosts of the unusual and fascinating giant Madagascan fruit bat to see on Chole Island.
Food is all locally caught seafood – there is no meat on the island. Fruit and veg is flown in to Chole Mjini from mainland twice a week. Since there is no refridgeration for food it is all freshly prepared, using local recipes and lots of variations on Japanese, Thai, etc. They bake their own bread daily. Cooked breakfasts are not offered, so it's mainly bread and fruit.
