Mnemba Island |
View Larger Map
|
Mnemba, an untouched atoll off the coast of Zanzibar, is therapy for the spirit. Mnemba, an Arabic word meaning octopus head, lies two kilometres north-east of the island of Zanzibar, a 20-minute cruise in a traditional 16 foot flat-bottomed boat. A pristine swathe of beach defines the island's one mile circumference. A protection zone surrounds the island, conserving magnificent coral reefs where giant turtles, Ghost Crabs and spectacular tropical fish drift through the lagoons.
The only inhabitants of the island are lodge staff and guests, at the 10 room Mnemba Island Lodge offering luxurious privacy and guaranteed exclusivity unparalleled on the African coastline.
The coral reefs around the atoll are a favorite Zanzibar dive destination with such dive sites offering good visibility with a large variety of hard corals, reef fish, turtles and depending on the season, some of the larger pelagics. Currents are variable, being stronger on the north side of the atoll which is dived only by experienced divers.
