Off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar lies the private &Beyond Mnemba Island, inhabited only by guests and the staff taking care of them. Mnemba is surrounded by an atoll of breath-taking coral reefs and boasts some of Africa’s magnificent dive sites.

Activities

The calm waters surrounding the island offer irresistible snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and permanent swimming directly from the beach. The island offers two dive centers and boat excursions can be arranged daily. To reconcile body, mind and soul take part in a yoga session or enjoy a wellness treatment.

Conservation Efforts

AndBeyond is internationally known and awarded for their conservation efforts, andBeyond island properties partnered with the Africa Foundation to form “Ocean without Borders”. As Mnemba Island is a protected nesting site for green turtles you might have the chance to see turtle laying eggs and hatching in the peak season from April to August (however, laying can occur year-round). Within nine weeks, the beaches are filled with tiny turtle hatchlings.

We take care of you.

Your experience is our priority. We match you with the most knowledgeable and skilled naturalist guides and meticulously craft your itinerary with the finer details of VIP airport visa service, private transport, necessary permits, and luxury accommodation among many others.

We understand that your time is precious and take care of everything, so all that’s left for you to do is immerse yourself in the adventure.

We travel responsibly.

We care about the local communities and ecological integrity of the areas we visit. We tread as lightly as possible, use no plastic on safari and provide eco-friendly meal hampers with BPA-free stainless-steel water bottles for your comfort. We are committed to helping East African communities through considered and respectful tourism – and give back as much as we can. That includes carbon offset options, as well as community donations and tree planting. Our commitment to sustainable tourism ensures that African ecosystems thrive and benefit future generations.

We have you covered.

We understand that safaris can be a big investment. So to offer you full financial protection and peace of mind, we carry comprehensive tour operator liability insurance as well as passenger liability insurance. Our safaris also include flying doctor medical evacuation premium.
