Location
Fanjove Island is a private island located south of Mafia and Zanzibar island. To get there, guests will fly to Songo Songo island, where they will be able to explore the community life of the fishermen. From here, it is just a short boat journey across to Fanjove, where the beauty of the island will be immediately noticed.
Layout
The island is completely private in that nobody, except the guests and the dedicated staff, lives on Fanjove. There are six memorable wooden bandas (translated as 'huts' in Swahili) that are spread out along the white sand beach, ensuring the guests privacy and a beautiful ocean view. Each banda has a path directly to the dining area where breakfast, lunch and dinner is served, overlooking the beautiful blue ocean.
Rooms
The wooden bandas are shaped to represent a local dhow sail. They are made of wood and makuti (palm leaves that are used extensively across Tanzania). The bathroom is concrete but has been shaped in harmony with the rest of the banda. The bedroom and ensuite bathroom sit on the lower level, and to maximise the views of the ocean, there is a balcony on the top level to enjoy the peacefulness of the island. The bandas are solar-powered and there is no electricity in the individual bandas, but there is in the main dining area.
Activities
During the day it will be possible to amuse one self with various water activities, including diving in the crystalline water to discover a yet unexplored paradise. There are many activities on the water, including snorkelling, diving, kayaking, dolphin excursions, dhow sailing and fishing. On shore, guests can completely relax on the white sand beach, or walk around the private idyllic island on a nature trail.
