Mafia Archipelago comprises a number of islands and uninhabited coral atolls situated about 120 km southeast of Dar-es-Salaam. Mafia was an important trading post during the 11-13th Centuries. Today it is known for its diverse and spectacular natural environment. It offers white beaches, superb coral reefs, tropical vegetation dominated by large palm groves, impressive baobab trees, fruit trees (e.g. mango & cashew) and mangroves. Monkeys, small antelopes, wild pigs, lemurs and a small colony of dwarf hippos live on the islands. The archipelago is also a nesting area for falcons and fish eagles and a breeding ground for Giant turtles. Chole, one of the smaller islands, has a large colony of Comoro bats, a protected species of fruit eating ‘flying foxes’. |
