Activities and Excursions on Chole and Mafia Island

Every day's excursions follow the tides of Chole Bay, in the heart of the Mafia Island Marine Park: sailing by dhow, snorkelling, scuba diving on the marine park's reefs, sandbank picnics, paddling through the mangroves, and walks through Chole village. Our managers plan the next day with you each evening. Whether you come at the end of a safari and simply want to rest, or you are an adventurous soul, there is something here for everyone.

For us, what makes a stay at Chole Mjini special is the chance to truly connect with the community of Chole and get to know the people who live here. We are true believers in slow travel and long stays: the longer you stay, the more of island life you can share in and take part in, and that is when the magic happens.
