Mbudya Island Adventure

The Experience

Trade the city for paradise. Mbudya Island is an uninhabited marine-reserve island just a short boat ride off Dar es Salaam — pristine white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water and virgin forest. Snorkel over vibrant reefs, feast on fresh-grilled seafood under a thatched banda, or simply do absolutely nothing on one of East Africa's most beautiful beaches.

• Pristine white-sand beaches perfect for sunbathing and beach fun
• Crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling with vibrant marine life
• Untouched virgin forest filled with diverse flora and fauna
• Fresh seafood grilled on the island (lunch available on-site)
• Short, scenic boat journey from the Serene Beach Resort jetty
