Indian Ocean destinations

tanzanian coast

The Tanzanian coast to the south of Dar es Salaam offers a delectable and unspoilt stretch of coral sand that extends for mile upon mile. This part of the coast has just a few farming and fishing villages dotted along its shoreline with nearby coral reefs and natural lagoons offering shelter to myriad forms of ocean life. A place of immense contrasts, this Indian Ocean coastline remains mysterious, beautiful and intriguing.

The tranquil and relatively little visited islands of Pemba to the north of Zanzibar and Mafia to the south of Dar es Salaam offer a fascinating insight into a traditional way of life little changed over the centuries. Just a handful of small lodges operate on these islands, ideal for those seeking world-class scuba diving and deep-sea fishing opportunities.

Informal and relaxed, Dar-es-Salaam is beautifully situated on the shores of a palm fringed bay, midway along Tanzania’s 840km coastline. Once a small fishing village, today it is the commercial centre of Tanzania, though no longer its capital.

Tanzania is a peaceful, welcoming and friendly country, which has much to offer the tourist. For those who want to go on safari, the game viewing in Tanzania is considered by many to be amongst the best, if not the best in Africa.
