A simple proposition: Uncover one of the exotic secrets of Zanzibar with a week of pure relaxation on Mnemba Private Island, lying off the Spice Island’s north-east coast and home to some of the best dive sites in the Indian Ocean as well as a wonderful marine reserve teemed with a secluded beachfront cottage.
Day 1: Arrive on Zanzibar Island
On arrival in Zanzibar you’ll be transferred to Mnemba Island Lodge, a collection of secluded beachside cottages situated within a Marine Reserve. After settling in, order a drink from the bar, take in the beautiful sea views and start planning the coming days.
Days 2 – 6: Enjoy Sea, sun, sand and seclusion
The next five days are yours to do as much or as little as you want. Soak up the sun on gorgeous, secluded beaches, take to the translucent waters on a sea kayak, indulge yourself with a range of therapeutic massages and treatments – the choice is yours.
The lodge is situated within a marine reserve comprising distinct habitats which are home to a diverse array of Indian Ocean marine life. Mnemba offers spectacular diving and snorkeling opportunities, as well as fly fishing, and you can swim directly from the beach.
Lunch is selected by you, and a menu is drawn up everyday which you can discuss with your butler. Baskets of fresh fruit, fish, lobster, crab and prawns are sailed into Mnemba daily on traditional ngalawa outriggers, and served on the beach each night or in the outside banda. Beach barbeques are often organized, and for romantics, Mnemba Island Lodge can arrange a private beach dinner where you and your partner will feel the waves gently lapping at your feet as you dine.
Enjoy leisurely walks around the island, exploring the craft shops, or take a tour of the ‘Spice Island’, Zanzibar.
Day 7: Say farewell to Mnemba
After breakfast, transfer back to Zanzibar Airport for your flight home. Should you wish to extend this itinerary, contact your Africa Safari Expert who can arrange a further adventure.
This marks the end of what we hope will be an adventurous trip- Thank you very much!!
