Tanzania

Matemwe

Matemwe is a small coastal village on the northeast coast of Tanzania, known for its access to the northern reaches of Zanzibar’s marine area. With limited local diving facilities, it serves mainly as a gateway for divers to reach nearby dive centers and sites along the Zanzibar archipelago. The area offers calm tropical waters and visitors typically use nearby centers for boat trips to reefs and walls around Mnemba Atoll and other nearby spots, depending on availability. For inland interest, Matemwe lies at sea level on the Indian Ocean, and there isn’t significant diving directly in the village itself, so most diving activity is organized through nearby operators along the coast.
