Turtle Caves

Duration: About 1 hour
In Nungwi and Kizimkazi Dimbani

Originally created to care for and protect sea turtles, it has now become a tourist attraction where the turtles no longer live in natural conditions.

They are not mistreated there, but the high visitor numbers and some inappropriate behavior are detrimental to their well-being and their environment.

We do not particularly recommend this activity.

However, if you still choose to go, it is essential to adopt a respectful
attitude:

  • do not approach the turtles
  • do not shout, push, or touch them
  • never feed them, even if offered
  • rinse thoroughly before entering the water, avoid sunscreen
  • remain vigilant: turtles can bite
