Mnemba Island is an undiscovered haven off the coast of Zanzibar. It is renown for its natural therapy on spirit. CondeNast Traveller has recognized this exquisite establishment as on of the three most romantic places in the world.
Mnemba is an Arabic term that means an octopus head. This island is found two kilometers north east of Zanzibar which is a 20 minute journey in a traditional 16 foot boat. A pure enveloping circumference of beach envelopes the island. To ensure that the magnificent coral reefs and unique sea life is preserved, a protection zone has been established around the island.
Privacy is synonymous with Mnemba since the only residents of the island are the lodge staff and guests, assuring guests of unparalleled exclusivity. This island features ten banda en-suite cottages. These cottages each have a stunning view of the beach and coral reef.
A banda is an architectural sight to behold. It has been hand woven and thatched with tree branches and traditional Zanzibari palm-matting. The chef ensures that food served is top notch by offering a wide and comprehensive menu of exotic delicacies.
The fact that Mneba has a beautiful diving site makes it a much sought after tourist attraction site. It's important to note that valid diving certification is needed. A professional diving school is situated on the island for you at an extra cost. The alluring waters of the Indian Ocean fall within a 200 meter protected zone providing a much needed haven for a host of marine life.
The protected zone falls under the control of the Conservation Corporation Africa giving it exclusive trans versing rights over the area. The lagoon is synonymous with a huge fish tank filled with colorful marine life. There are more than 300 species of fish that have been identified. The lagoon hosts the striped dolphin, the gigantic, whale shark which despite its massive size is quite harmless. There is also a variety of game fish like the marlin barracuda which are tagged before being released back to the lagoon.
Mnemba offer irresistible water activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, fly fishing, windsurfing and swimming. Excellent bird watching, beautiful walks around the Island or simply sun tanning on the pristine beach may also be enjoyed.
The host of activities does not end, there is also the option of deep sea fishing or touring the 'spice island' of Zanzibar plus a range of relaxing massages and other therapeutic treatments that leave you relaxed and whole. Mobile reception/signal on the island is not very good, a broad band WiFi signal is available to keep you connected to the rest of the world through the internet. Guests fly a 5km distance from Dar es Salaam to reach Mnemba. - 16955
