Mafia Island Packages & Holidays
Plan Mafia Island holidays with whale shark safaris, beach stays, diving, transfers and flight options from Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam.
A Mafia Island holiday built around your interests
Afro combines locally guided experiences, accommodation and transport into a dated quotation. The ideas below are sample itineraries, not fixed departures or confirmed inventory. We confirm the route, rooms, activities, inclusions, exclusions and complete price before payment.
One day: Zanzibar whale shark escape
Fly to Mafia for a guided whale shark snorkelling safari, lunch and return travel. Our Zanzibar to Mafia day trip page explains the flight-inclusive plan and direct-flight minimums. The route and times depend on the confirmed operation.
Two days, one night: more time on the island
Arrive from Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam, settle into your chosen stay and schedule a whale shark excursion when the flight times allow. Add another marine morning or relaxed local time before departure. A second attempt provides flexibility, rather than a sighting guarantee.
Four days, three nights: whale sharks, reefs and beach time
Use arrival day to settle in. Plan one day for whale sharks, another for snorkelling or a partner-operated dive, and leave the final day flexible around your flight. Certified divers must plan a suitable no-fly interval with the dive operator; do not assume a last-day dive will fit.
Choose your accommodation and extras
Start with Afro Beach Safari or browse the wider Mafia Island hotel collection. Tell us your guest numbers, children’s ages, dates, meal plan and preferred activities. Flights, park fees and equipment are included only when stated in your quotation.
