Afro Whale Shark Safari is one of Mafia Island’s most respected local excursion companies, offering unforgettable marine adventures together with warm Swahili hospitality and relaxed beachfront accommodation at Afro Beach Bungalows.

Founded by former local fishermen, born and raised on Mafia Island, the company combines generations of local knowledge with a genuine passion for sharing the island’s extraordinary marine environment. From seasonal whale shark excursions and snorkelling trips to dhow cruises, island visits, and reef explorations, guests experience Mafia Island through guides who know these waters intimately and care deeply about protecting them.

The relaxed Afro Beach Bungalows provide a simple and welcoming base beside the ocean, perfectly suited to travellers looking for an authentic island atmosphere away from large resorts. Many guests come for the whale sharks but leave remembering just as much the friendliness, humour, and generosity of the Afro team.

With a strong commitment to ethical tourism and marine conservation, Afro Whale Shark Safari offers experiences that are both memorable and respectful of the unique environment of the Mafia Island Marine Park.
