Why visit Fanjove Island?
The Indian Ocean brings a gentle current through the coral reefs, making the environment ideal for sea turtles. If you go to Fanjove, snorkelling, aka snorkelling, is a must!
Fanjove Island is little known and just waiting to be visited. White sandy beaches, clear blue water, it has everything you need for a relaxing time during your holiday in Tanzania.
A few migratory birds stop off on the island, which is why binoculars and cameras are essential if you want to feast your eyes!
In January, you can stroll along the beaches when the shores turn into a paradise of colours with the arrival of butterflies.
If you stay in the archipelago during the season from August to October, you will have the privilege of spotting magnificent humpback whales.
Here is a list of the activities awaiting you:
