Fact File
After all the excitement of the game reserves the group
headed to Mafia Island, which lies south of Dar es Salaam,
about 20 miles off the coast of Tanzania, and is a 3-hour
flight from Ruaha.
Mafia Island is one of five sleepy, tropical islands which are
clustered together in the Indian Ocean. They are relatively
unknown, making them the perfect choice for an undisturbed
beach holiday. The group chose the Butiama Beach, on the
west coast of the island, off the main village of Kilindoni.
There are only 7 rooms at Butiama Beach which has a casual
and relaxed atmosphere, an ideal place to unwind after a
safari. Their last stop was for 3 nights at Serena Inn in Stone
Town on Zanzibar’s main island which is reached via a short
flight from Mafia Island. After all the exciting game drives the
party commented that their stays on Mafia Island and
Zanzibar made for the ultimate finale to their fantastic
experience, and one they would not have missed for the
world.
