Located
in southern Tanzania, on the Mozambique border, is home to important
populations of whales, dolphins, four species of turtle and numerous birds. The
park is a multi-purpose marine protected area with globally significant marine
biodiversity values and it covers a total land and sea area of 650 sqkm with
20,000 inhabitants.
The
area is recognized as being internationally important for its biodiversity,
with mangroves, sea grass beds and coral reefs. There are 12 villages in the
area and it is hoped that visitors to the marine park will help the local
economy of this area, one of the poorest and least developed in Tanzania.
The
large area of the Marine Park ensures that the ten villages and five
sub-villages that have traditionally depended on the marine resources of the
Park are comfortably included within the Park.
Some
of the best diving in Tanzania is found within the Marine Park and includes
spectacular outer reef drop offs, extensive spur and groove formations, channel
and patch reefs. Over 400 species of fish have been identified and more specs
of coral (over 258) than anywhere else on the East African Coast. The
inter-tidal reef flats filled with life and the pristine white sands of Ruvula
Beach complete this tropical paradise.
Dive
safaris are available on a single day’s dive or camping trips on Ruvula Beach’s
beautiful beach. With sufficient notice, tailor made Safaris can be arranged to
meet individual requirements.
Visitors
can also enjoy guided tours offered by numerous tour companies, whose boats are
fitted with state of the art equipment to ensure a memorable and fulfilling
experience. Companies operating in the marine park also offer diving lessons
both within the park and at the nearby Mikindani Bay.
