Discover a unique and heartwarming experience at Baraka’s Turtle Aquarium, a natural sanctuary located on the beautiful Nungwi Beach in northern Zanzibar. This rehabilitation center for injured sea turtles is nestled in a serene tidal grotto, where these incredible creatures find respite before being released back into the wild. Many of the turtles at Baraka’s Aquarium have been rescued from fishing nets, giving them a second chance at life in this peaceful lagoon.

At the aquarium, you’ll have the rare opportunity to swim alongside these friendly and gentle turtles in crystal-clear waters. Feel the magic of gliding through the water, running your fingers along the smooth texture of their shells as they glide gracefully by. You can also participate in feeding the turtles with fresh seaweed, which is generously provided at the aquarium, allowing for an intimate connection with these magnificent animals.

For those interested in exploring further, snorkels are available to dive into the lagoon and watch the turtles in their natural habitat, surrounded by lush underwater plants. While the water can sometimes be murky, a refreshing shower is available to rinse off afterward. If you’re not confident in deep water, don’t worry—the shallow edges of the pond are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene environment, and life jackets are provided for added comfort and safety.

Join us at this peaceful sanctuary in Zanzibar’s north, where you can connect with nature, enjoy the company of sea turtles, and create unforgettable memories of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
