Visit Coast


The Coast region of Tanzania is located along the Indian Ocean coast of the country. It's characterized by a diverse ecosystem and an abundance of wildlife, making it a popular destination for tourists. Two popular tourist attractions here are the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park and Mafia Island Marine Park. Located in Zanzibar Archipelago, Mafia Island is a protected marine reserve featuring coral reefs, white sandy beaches, tropical fish and turtles. The Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park provides visitors with opportunities to view lush mangrove forests, unique wildlife species such as red colobus monkeys and African wild dogs.

The history of this region dates back more than 1000 years when seafarers from Arabia settled along Tanzanian coasts bringing with them Muslim before spreading their culture throughout East Africa during the 19th century. Additionally, due to its strategic location on maritime trade routes between Europe and India many battles took place between pirates, slave traders and British navies during that time period.
