After the dust of your bespoke Tanzania safari, hop over to Fanjove Private Island and step into another world as you arrive by boat onto the palm fringed beach in the Indian Ocean, just south of the Zanzibar archipelago.  With just six 'bandas' (thatched rooms) you will not find manicured gardens and swimming pools but you will find plenty of wildlife and tranquillity, the only other visitors being occasional fishermen!

Fly to Dar es Salaam and then daily flights to Songo Songo take you around 140 km south into the Indian Ocean where you board a boat for the last part of your journey ... this Robinson Crusoe get away is simply furnished and is very ec0-friendly and surrounded by sandy beaches and palms.

The two storey thatched rooms are cleverly designed with reed 'flaps' which can be moved back and forth to create a breeze when you need it.  With the open air design you really feel like you are sleeping on the beach (which you are!).

If you would like to ask about combining an African Safari with Fanjove Island, we can prepare an itinerary to suit.  This is a lovely, affordable option for honeymoon couples too.

Fanjove Private Island is open from June to March and is best suited to adults or children over the age of 12.  If you are keen on kite surfing June-August offers ideal conditions. There is superb diving and snorkelling in the area and kayaks are available for use too.  It takes about 1.5 hrs to walk around the whole island depending on the tides, but most people are content to sleep, read and sun bathe!
