Reasons To
Visit Zanzibar Archipelago

  • Beaches

    Zanzibar, an island located just off Dar es Salaam, is blessed with a coastline of picture perfect beaches. There are miles of white sand leading into shallow turquoise water lined with offshore reefs and dotted with small fishing villages sheltering under coconut palms.

  • Dhow Cruises

    At high tide all the dhows sail in to the various beaches and harbours on Zanzibar and lively bartering for the day’s catch ensues. Cruising around the islands on a traditional dhow boat is one of the best ways to experience Zanzibar.

  • Diving & Snorkelling

    Mafia is the site of Tanzania’s first marine national park, covering 800 square kilometres and with over 460 species of fish and fantastic corals. There are a wide variety of dive and snorkel spots in the Archipelago with something to offer for all abilities.

  • Rest & Relaxation

    There are some very busy beaches, backed by large resorts which we don’t use. We have driven all round the island and found quiet beaches with small boutique hotels and simple lodges. We’ll drive you across the island to these and you can relax in peace.

  • Swahili Culture

    Flanked by the sea, Stone Town is exotic and steeped in Swahili history. Laden dhows sail in to the port, crumbling buildings cast shadows over labyrinthine streets and the smell of spices fills the air. Much of Stone Town was built in the 19th Century and remains unchanged to this day.

  • Turtles

    The most commonly found turtle in Zanzibar is the green turtle, followed by the hawksbill. Both nest in Zanzibar and Pemba is one of the best places to see them. There are several projects being run to help protect these endangered animals and their nesting sites.

Mnemba Island Lodge

Mnemba Private Island

Mnemba Island Lodge has ten stylish bungalows set in the casuarina trees in the centre of the island. Spaced well apart they are very private and peaceful.

Each room is spacious with big beds, muslin nets, rush matting floors and simple but stylish furniture. There are overhead fans to keep you cool. A tiny sandy path (across which pink ghost crabs sometimes scuttle) leads you to bathroom a few feet away. These are very stylish with glass beaded showers, fluffy towels, aromatherapy soaps and copious hot water.

Leading straight onto the beach a short walk brings you from your room to the dining area and bar which is set under thatch in the trees.

Meals are superb at Mnemba with fresh bread baked for breakfast, light salad lunches and sumptuous three or four course meals served for dinner. Often the dinner is served by lanterns and candlelight on the beach - a magical end to a superb day.
