The number one reason I will go back to Mnemba is the blindingly white sand beach and crystal clear blue waters...the island itself is simply stunning and is perfect for refreshing your soul. It is the perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset in all its glory. There is nothing more exhilarating than going for an early morning jog... more

Mnemba is simply brilliant for anybody who wishes to "get away from it all" in considerable style. It's part of the CC Africa group of lodges & has many of their special touches, but is in many ways unique, being a private island with only 10 bandas on which others are not allowed to land. Standards are of the highest,... more

THE PROS:- The beach bandas (huts) were absolutely amazing and the island itself is gorgeous with a beautiful white sandy beach and bright blue sea with reefs. The cook, was very good although there is a set menu with only one starter, main and dessert (so no choice of dishes), she was willing tailor the food or even create a... more

This place was like a Robinson Cruseo Island with everything you needed to hand. Rooms were like nothing I have seen before as they were open with just material over the windows and doors very private. We felt like we had our own beach and butler. I would recommend this for just 3 days to relax in between safari's and... more

This is one of the very few places in the world I'd give 5 stars to. Highly personalised service, good food, very good snorkelling just off the white sand beach, the most comfortable sunloungers I've ever tried, room tidied and things replaced three times a day. I can't add much to the others reviews but just can't wait to get... more

We went on our honeymoon to Mnemba and were lucky enough to spend a week there. Mnemba is undeniably romantic and genuinely luxurious and spoiling in a very understated way. I won't dwell on all the positives because they've been all covered in the reviews below and I fully agree with them. However one positive I would like to highlight... more

Situated on an intimate private island just off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar, surrounded by its own atoll of coral reefs within a Marine Conservation Area, Mnemba Island Lodge offers privacy and rustic exclusivity unparalleled on the East African coastline. Ten secluded split-level beach bandas, built on platforms raised off the beach sand, are carefully located to ensure absolute privacy.... more

Nick and I stayed on Mnemba Island at the end of February 2006 for 4 nights. I would have no hesitation in recommending the island to anyone but make sure you know what to expect for your money (it's not inexpensive!!). After a fairly lenghty journey to arrive in Zanzibar you will then have a 1 1/2 hour road transfer,... more

We agree with most of the long review already posted, although before going there I thought it must be a PR puff, it seemed so unbelievable, but having been there, it isn't. So read that review as well rather than me repeating it. One small correction - the sweet tiny deer are actually called "SUNI", not much larger than a... more
