What to Pack for Mafia Island

Mafia is warm all year, relaxed and close to the ocean. Pack light.

Essentials

• Light, breathable clothes
• Modest clothes for villages and Kilindoni town (shoulders and knees covered)
• Swimwear and a quick-dry towel
• Reef-safe sunscreen, hat and sunglasses
• Insect repellent

For the water

• Your own mask and snorkel if you prefer (we provide gear on tours)
• Water shoes for sandbanks and rocky beaches
• A waterproof phone pouch

Practical

• Cash for small purchases — not every place takes cards
• A soft bag if you are flying on a small plane
• A light rain jacket in the rainy months
