GUIDE FOR DIVING TRIPS WITH AFRICANMECCA

One of the greatest thrills of visiting faraway lands is experiencing new and exciting worlds. Many of our guests’ dream of an exotic experience on land, but AfricanMecca Safaris will enhance your terrestrial safari experience by showing you another world just off the African coastline. Witness an unfamiliar, intriguing and enchanting place where native inhabitants are busy foraging, hunting and playing.

Let us take you into a realm of vivid colors, textures and shapes unlike any other in the world. A diving trip to Africa is matchless amongst other dive sites on the planet! Your consultant knows of the top dive sites along the eastern and southern shores of the continent to give you the utmost African dive travel experience. You see coral, fish and other marine species that are rarely seen anywhere else.



The superb health and diversity of the coral reefs have always been a favorite amongst advanced divers who travel the world seeking out the best sites, and now you can dive in the same spectacular locations! Stingrays, feather stars, sea fans, leopard cat sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, napoleon wrasses, angelfish, zebrafish, lionfish, octopus, squids, Spanish dancers, reef sharks, eels, butterflyfish, groupers, unicornfish…the list goes on and on.

You may also see some of the most sought-after natural events during your African dive vacation, such as a cleaning station where smaller species clean the parasitic inhabitants in the gills and scales of larger species. Perhaps your timing will coincide with the spawning of corals or nesting of sea turtles on the shores.

Starting on the eastern coast of the continent, the Kenyan Barrier Reef ranks with the Australian Great Barrier Reef and Red Sea Reef as one of the prime diving locations on Earth! Dive sites stretch along the entire length and vary in difficulty, so beginning, intermediate and advanced divers have plenty of options for their Kenya underwater tours with AfricanMecca. One of the most discerning places in Kenya for diving is Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park with 11 sites ranging in depth from 15 to nearly 100 feet.



Tanzania is largely known for breathtaking game drives, but the country in the east is also surrounded by water. Divers find a diversity of experiences, such as lake diving holidays at Lake Tanganyika, shore diving from stunning beaches and offshore diving, including overnight liveaboard excursions, drift diving and wall diving.

Dive sites include Mnemba Atoll, reefs around Nungwi to Bwejuu and wrecks near Stone Town in Zanzibar, and unspoiled island diving at Pemba and Mafia. Do you want to see some of the largest marine species? Mozambique is the place for you! Manta rays, humpback and whale sharks and other giants troll. The country is also home to Africa’s largest Marine Protected Area — Primeiras and Segundas.

For a contrast of massive and miniscule fish species, South Africa’s dive sites are a distinct option. Popular sites include several bays like False and Mossel, shark diving in Gansbaai, reef diving at Santos, watching the events of the sardine run and much, much more!
