If you crave an island escape, there are some wonderful options now within easy reach of either Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam.
For an island all to yourself, Thanda Island offers a unique opportunity to take private groups of 10-26 family members or friends to a remote retreat, with every detail taken care of. Only accepting exclusive use bookings by a few Africa travel experts (of which Safari&Beach are proud to be one), this is an island like no other and extraordinary in every way.
Then for the same remote feel but a more achievable budget, for those who don’t mind sharing their paradise with a few others staying at the same lodge, the following island hotels give you serious Robinson Crusoe escapism.
Fanjove Private Island has been recently glammed up to provide a luxurious stay on a wild and remote desert island. You reach Fanjove via Mafia and then Songo Songo.
Mnemba Island is just off the Zanzibar mainland, and is wonderful barefoot luxury with easy access to the Mnemba Atoll reefs.
Bawe Island is Zanzibar’s newest private island, designed to be modern and luxurious. It is speedboat ride from Stonetown.
Pongwe Island is a little gem located off the West coast of Zanzibar. It’s a great place for lunch if staying on Zanzibar, or a peaceful retreat in its own right. You can walk here at low tide, or its 1 minute boat ride at high tide.
Chumbe Island was the original eco-retreat, located a boat ride from Stonetown, with a wonderful reef and rustic cabins. Sadly it is not what it was, but is still interesting to visit for a day trip.
