About This Experience

Meet Zanzibar's Gentle Ocean Giants

Located on Zanzibar's northern coastline, the Nungwi Natural Aquarium is a community-led conservation project dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles. Injured turtles are rescued, rehabilitated and eventually released back into the Indian Ocean.

Visitors have the unique opportunity to learn about marine conservation, feed rescued turtles and swim alongside them in a protected natural lagoon, creating one of the island's most unforgettable wildlife experiences.

Sea Turtles Always Find Their Way Home

Green sea turtles can live for more than 70 years and often return to the very beach where they were born to lay their eggs. The conservation programme at Nungwi helps rescue injured turtles before safely releasing them back into the Indian Ocean.
