Practical info

Tips

  • Who it suits: an exceptional occasion (honeymoon, anniversary) with a budget of several thousand euros for a short stay. If your budget is more modest, taste Mnemba on a day trip from Kendwa or Matemwe: the boat trips visit the atoll but do not necessarily reach the private island (confirm with the operator); see Mnemba and Safari Blue or Mnemba. To sleep ashore, compare the hotels of Matemwe or plan a honeymoon: Zanzibar honeymoon. Rates come from &Beyond and resellers; ask for the exact price for your date.

How to get there

The return transfer between Zanzibar and the island is included in the rate; the lodge arranges the trip from the airport or hotel.

Opening hours

Best: June to October, closed 8 April to 20 May
