Diving and snorkelling
Best: June to March · Half or full day
Reef, turtles and the atoll off Zanzibar’s north-east coast.
Mnemba atoll is the best-known site and deservedly so — clear water, healthy reef and regular turtle sightings. There is good diving off Pemba and, seasonally, whale sharks off Mafia. Courses run from beginner to advanced.
