Bagamoyo, north of Dar es Salaam. A sand spit protected by a coral reef, the island is

coral reef surrounding the island offers a great opportunity for snorkelling off the beach.

island has an interesting ecosystem, with many small mammal such as bush babies, suni
antelope and bush pig, plus birds and butterflies. Low tide washes up a plethora or exotically
