The coastal areas and islands of Tanzania are still blissfully under developed and there are a few high quality lodges in remote and unspoilt areas.

Kinasi Lodge
Mafia Island, south of Zanzibar and only 45 minutes flight from Dar es Salaam is an island retreat for adventure divers, game fishermen or simple feet up relaxation. Kinasi is a comfortable lodge situated on a hillside overlooking Chole Bay, which is part of a protected marine park. The diving and snorkelling here is some of the best on the east African coast and the warm clear protected waters of the bay are perfect for swimming and windsurfing. With mapped walks, picnics and daily trips to sandbars and reefs and delicious food, Kinasi is the perfect island destination.
