TESTIMONIALS

My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon on Mafia. Our first day we took a trip with Afro Whale Shark Safari. Within 20 few minutes of launch we found the shark. Afro was great at positioning the boat to ensure that we could get close to the share without having to chase it around the channel.

There are a couple of outfits to go and see the whale sharks. However, the best spotter is Mr. Afro Whale Shark himself. All the other boats follow him. He drives the boat with expertise and once the whale sharks are in sight he is the first to jump off the boat ?

Whale sharks! What’s not to like. With a group of three others visiting Mafia for the whale sharks and we were not disappointed. First boat out in the morning, good briefings and responsible use of the boats. Afro has good rapport with the researchers in the area.
