Mafia Island
Tanzania
Mafia Island
The secluded beaches of Mafia Island receive only a small number of visitors compared to neighbouring Zanzibar, yet they are just as beautiful. Much of the Mafia archipelago constitutes a marine park - Tanzania's first - which protects a rich variety of sea life, including endangered species such as giant turtle and dugong. The diving is superb.
Successful climb to Kilimanjaro's summit
Both Anna and I successfully reached the summit and we had a wonderful time in Tanzania.
