Zanzibar is a beautiful archipelago in the Indian Ocean east of Tanzania, consisting of islands such as Unguja and Pemba.It not only has charming beaches and clear waters, but also has rich marine life and spectacular underwater landscapes.

苦海无边,望不到岸苦海无边,望不到岸At Mbudya Island, the color of the sea was green when I left the beach, and then the color became darker and darker, turning into blue. But it was still very clear, and I could see the seaweed floating in the water. Maybe it was because I watched The Shallows (a movie I recommend watching), I always felt that there were still a lot of sharks in the sea. Then I got closer and closer to the island, and saw the light green water next to the white beach. It felt like it was not real.
