Inpredictable conditions and lack of anchorages make it hard to access on a regular bases, but
Kisiwani is the only boat in the area that is properly equipped to overcome these obstacles, and
concerted efforts are now being made to establish the east coast as a consistently reliable destination.
Exploratory trips are also planned for Mafia Island the Southern Tanzania. Please contact us and
discuss these options.
