Mafia
Island ("Chole Shamba") is part of the
Tanzanian Spice Islands, together with Unguja
and Pemba.
The Mafia archipelago consists
of one large island (394 km²) and numerous smaller ones.
Some of these are inhabited, such as Chole Island
Mafia Island is a wonderful
little island at the centre of the largest marine park
in East Africa. The park is located between the Rufiji
River delta to the west and the open Indian Ocean to
the east. The dual influences of the river and the sea have combined
to create a rich and exceptional biodiversity with unique landscapes
under the sea and on dry land.
It is a real sleepy backwater, a remnant of the old swahili coast and a the place to visit now if you want to see how Zanzibar was thirty years ago.
