Extraordinary African Safaris
See marine conservation in action — visit reef-protection, turtle, and community projects, and snorkel a protected marine sanctuary.
Tanzania’s reefs survive thanks to protected marine areas and community-led projects, and a marine conservation tour lets you experience and support that work. You might visit Chumbe Island — a pioneering coral sanctuary and eco-education centre — tour a turtle hatchery, learn about reef restoration and no-take zones, and snorkel a genuinely protected reef teeming with life.
Guides explain the threats facing the ocean and the science of protecting it, making it ideal for curious travellers, families, and anyone who wants their reef time to do some good. Fees support the very projects you visit.

Your fees directly fund the projects.
A rewarding, educational way to enjoy the reef while supporting its protection — Chumbe in particular is a genuine conservation success story and limits daily numbers, so book ahead. It's about learning and impact as much as snorkelling; families and curious travellers get the most from it.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Marine Conservation Tour, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
