We've been 4 times to Mnemba and will certainly go back. It is the perfect place to come to rest and enjoy some privacy. If you do not want to see any one, you can. The diving is not Maldives standard, but then again you are not diving with 12 other divers. It is true that more and more boats... More

I went to Mnemba at the end of my anniversary trip to Africa thinking that Mnemba would be the highlight of my trip. In short, it was the opposite, having stayed with two other AndBeyond properties before here, we were rather disappointed. The pros: The island is beautiful. The bandas are beautiful, spacious, functional, private, and well designed. The stay... More

I went to Mnemba on a family trip and it was awesome. The staff is incredible friendly and helpful with a special mention to our butler Rajab and Peter, one of the managers. The food was amazing and despite reviews that said food could be repetitive, I chose what to eat everyday (fish is fresh and superb) and I had... More

My husband and I spent 6 nights here in September, 2009, as the end of our honeymoon, following safari in Tanzania. We booked directly through andBeyond and they really took extra care to add special touches as part of our honeymoon. My husband sometimes has difficulty with less-than-smooth travel, but even he instantly forgot the rocky car ride across Zanzibar... More

After 10 days of safari, we concluded our trip with four nights in this Island. The setting, accomodation, waters, staff are amazing. If one's priority is to just chill and relax, this would definitely the place to be. But after getting lost in the amazing wildlife and culture of east africa, it is a bit hard to do this. Nevertheless,... More

Mnemba Island was the perfect relaxing end to a great but busy safari trip in Kenya and Tanzania. The island is lovely and the staff is friendly. The food was really good and we loved the daily sundowner cocktails. You can do as much or as little as you like on Mnemba. We chose to do somewhere in between. I... More

After spending the first part of my trip at Singita, this was a major letdown. I couldn’t help but notice Mnemba’s trying to follow in the footsteps of Six Senses, particularly the whole ‘barefoot luxury’ thing but the experience is mediocre at best. First of all getting to the island is major hassle, starting with 1h15min drive from the rundown... More

This is an Island that is jaw dropping stunning - a 10/15 min boat ride from main land Zanzibar to a dot in the ocean. Never have I experienced such untouched beauty. Pristine white sand, azure blue waters, food, hospitality, accommodation, 5 stars all the way +++. Biggest decision to take each morning whether to walk left or right around... More

The first thing Peter, the manager, told us as we stepped off the boat was, "Put your shoes away, you won't be needing them here.", and he was right. Or much of anything else for that matter. If you are looking for a place where you can forget the rest of the world, completely chill out, and take everything at... More
