Zanibar Swim with turtles sanctuary – Zanzibar, Tanzania

EXPERIENCE:

Sea turtle conservation project located on the northern-most end of Nungwi Beach. A sanctuary committed to the nurturing and rehabilitation of marine turtles, it unveils the delicate marine ecosystem through its conservation pond and natural aquarium.

The turtle conservation pond is a natural lagoon separated from the Indian Ocean by a few meters of old reef rocks, but the tide within the lagoon is a clear indication that the connection with the ocean is open. A wooden pier was built on one half of the lagoon, allowing a better access to the Sea Turtles, offering a second information pavilion as well as a small interaction platform.

Every February, an annual release party is held when injured turtles that have been rehabilitated are released back into the ocean.
