Facing Mafia Island on Tanzania's south coast mainland, Kilwa Masoko is famous for its UNESCO world heritage “kilwa ruins” and for its crystal clear waters full of marine life.

The sea is always accessible from the prestine, white sandy beaches for swimming and snorkelling even at low tide.

Kilwa Masoko is the site of very impressive ruins from the Ottoman Arab dynasties. The area offers travellers the opportunity to explore the history of the region and even visit archaeological underwater sites.
