Aquarium tours

Aquarium tours in Zanzibar offer a unique opportunity to explore the island's marine life, particularly focusing on sea turtles. The most notable aquariums are located in Nungwi, on the northern tip of Zanzibar. These include the Baraka Natural Aquarium and the Mnarani Aquarium, both of which serve as rehabilitation centers for injured turtles. Visitors can engage with these gentle creatures by swimming with them, feeding them, and learning about conservation efforts aimed at protecting these marine animals.

During the tour, participants can visit the Baraka Natural Aquarium, a natural tidal pool where they can swim and feed the turtles. This experience allows visitors to interact closely with the turtles, observing their behavior and learning about their habitat. The Mnarani Aquarium, located near the lighthouse, offers a similar experience, with a focus on nurturing and rehabilitating marine turtles. Both aquariums provide educational insights into the importance of marine conservation and the challenges faced by sea turtles in the wild.
