About this experience
Mnemba Atoll is the most famous Conservation area in Zanzibar. It consists of a seven by four kilometers reef, containing the small Mnemba Island. Mnemba is famous for encounters with Green Turtles and Common Dolphins. For some reason Mnemba Dolphins really like the boats and come often to swim right next to the boats and also allowing to jump into the water and snorkel with them On our way back, we slow down to pass close to the beautiful Mnemba Island, so you can take some great photos.
