The Ugalla River in west-central Tanzania is a broad, slow moving river of sand banks, shallow pools, oxbow lakes and swamps that winds its way in meandering loops westwards through a remote and almost forgotten world of extraordinary wildlife richness. It became a National park in 2019. It is just under 5000 sq. km in area.
There is nature, especially the outstanding marine life that led to the creation of Mafia Island Marine Park, with its more than 460 species of fish and over 50 genera of coral. Mafia offers World-class diving and snorkelling for all levels of experience and training is offered by several dive centres.
