Mnemba
Island; Mnemba Island is a tiny, privately
owned island about 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) from Zanzibar
Island. It forms part of the Mnemba Atoll, which is
much larger but mostly submerged in the Indian Ocean.
The island is vintage beach paradise - white coral sand,
wild coastal bush and a small forest of casuarina trees.
The
reefs just offshore are excellent snorkeling and diving
spots, and there are large coral cliffs 40 metres deep,
that are accessible from the luxurious Mnemba Island
Lodge. This is one of the few places in the world where
you can dive with whale sharks, the world's largest
fish. Although Mnemba Island is privately owned, the
reef is open to everyone. Mnemba Island is one of the
best scuba-diving sites in Zanzibar and a popular one
- at times you'll find a fleet of dive boats moored
close to the island. The island is also a nesting site
for the endangered green turtle.
The
island offers the best snorkeling in Zanzibar (and that's
saying something) and you can also watch whales, see
dolphins and swim with whale sharks. Best of all, for
the romantics out there, there are only 10 cottages
on the island which make up the Mnemba Island Lodge.
