Bongoyo Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bongoyo Island (or simply Bongoyo) is an uninhabited island in Tanzania, situated 2.5km north of the country's capital city, Dar es Salaam. It is the most frequently visited of the four islands of the Dar es Salaam Marine Reserve (DMRS).
The island lies close to the Msasani Peninsula (in the Kinondoni district of the city) and is reachable by means of only a 30 minute dhow ride crossing from the mainland. The point of departure for most visitors to the island is 'The Slipway' mall complex on the western side of the Msasani Peninsula.
It is therefore a popular daytrip for both tourists and Tanzanian residents alike, serving as a location for a variety of leisure activities, including snorkelling, sunbathing and hiking.
