The vast majority of people go to Zanzibar after finishing their safari on the mainland in the Tanzania<\/a>I did not. I was in Zanzibar many years ago, before the big tourist influx. What would I do without Google maps and the magnifying glass function?  <\/p>

I find Mafia island, an island about a quarter of the size of the one I just visited. Zanzibar<\/a>. Mafia is reached by a small domestic plane from Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar or as in my case, Kilimanjaro airport. It is not possible to go there by boat anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
