Escape to Mnemba Island with Moonlight Tours Expedition

Just 1.5 kilometers in circumference and nestled off Zanzibar’s clove-and-cinnamon-scented coast, Mnemba Island is a secluded haven of untouched beauty. This private paradise features Mnemba Island Lodge, a sanctuary of barefoot luxury where coral reefs, powdery beaches, and turquoise waters create the backdrop for an extraordinary retreat. Perfect for all ages, Mnemba offers an unforgettable fusion of relaxation, adventure, and exclusivity.

With only 10 thatched bandas (Swahili-style chalets), the lodge ensures an intimate experience. Indigenous wildlife like the shy suni antelope and Ader’s duiker roam freely, while rare coconut crabs make their home along the shoreline. Just steps from your banda lies the sparkling Indian Ocean, teeming with vibrant marine life, from playful dolphins to over 430 species of fish. The lodge’s PADI dive school and dedicated dive boats make exploring the ocean a breeze, offering world-class diving and snorkeling opportunities right from the beach.
