Pole Pole Bungalow Resort: A Serene Island Escape with Moonlight Tours Expedition
"Pole Pole," meaning ‘slowly, slowly,’ embodies the essence of relaxation, offering a unique getaway where tranquility is key. Located on the pristine Mafia Island, a hidden gem off Tanzania's coast, Pole Pole Bungalow Resort provides an intimate and luxurious escape with five individually designed bungalow suites. Each suite is equipped with either twin or double beds, and two family suites are available for groups of up to four. The resort combines the simplicity of barefoot luxury with exquisite cuisine and an array of activities, perfect for unwinding after an adventurous safari across East Africa.
Mafia Island: An Untouched Paradise
Mafia Island, 160 km from Zanzibar, is far removed from the crowds and development found in other coastal destinations. Its lush forests are home to monkeys and antelope, while the crystal-clear waters are protected by a Marine Reserve, offering world-class snorkelling and diving experiences. The island also boasts captivating ruins, colonial-era buildings, and miles of untouched white-sand beaches. For avid divers, the season between October and March offers a chance to swim with migrating whale sharks—a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Commitment to Sustainability and Community
With its eco-conscious design, Pole Pole Bungalow Resort takes pride in its minimal environmental impact while actively contributing to the local community. Guests can visit nearby villages to experience the island's culture firsthand. This resort is ideal for repeat visitors or those seeking a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path retreat, without the hustle and bustle of Zanzibar or the Kenyan coastline.
