From the savanna to the sea, Africa is home to some of the most spectacular destinations for SCUBA, snorkelling, marine conservation and ocean sports.
Tanzania is a top diving destination in East Africa, known for its clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and rich marine life. Protected areas such as Mafia Island Marine Park, Chumbe Island Coral Reef Sanctuary, and the Mnemba Marine Conservation Area help preserve coral reefs, sea turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whale sharks. Combined with its world-famous safari experiences, Tanzania offers the best of both land and sea.
Mauritius is a paradise for marine exploration, rich culture, and scenic mountain landscapes. Visitors can snorkel and dive among colorful coral reefs, enjoy endless water sports, explore Black River Gorges National Park, and sample local street food. It is the perfect addition to a Southern African safari for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, is famous for its pristine beaches and spectacular marine life. Ocean safaris offer opportunities to see giant rays, dolphins, sea turtles, and whale sharks, while the islands’ unique granite landscapes and biodiversity make them an ideal complement to a Big 5 safari.
