Pemba Island Extension

From$1,100 per person per day

Trade safari khaki for a swimsuit at the end of your East African adventures and take a swim in the tropical blue waters of Pemba Island. This laid-back island getaway stands in contrast to the crowds of its overdeveloped neighbor, Zanzibar, to the south. Spend a night in the most exclusive room in Africa: the Underwater Room where you’ll sleep with 360-degree views of the tropical reef 10 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean. Go snorkeling to appreciate the vibrant, tropical underwater beauty of the Indian Ocean.

Day by Day Itinerary

Pemba Island Extension
Day 1

Arrive Pemba Island

Depart Dar Es Salaam to Pemba Island. On arrival, you’ll be met by your driver for the bumpy but scenic ride to the northernmost tip of the island and Manta Resort. Pemba is as far away from civilization as you can get and the Manta Resort offers something different from most tropical islands. The resort exudes serenity, allows for close encounters with nature and run by a family of staff. Switch off from the noisy electronic world and enter a completely different one, as a guest with simple needs: sunshine, fresh air, natural food, a comfortable bed and friendly company.

Overnight: The Manta Resort
Days 2+

Manta and Underwater Room

Take off your safari shoes and relax in a hammock watching dhow fishing boats sail by. The next few days are yours to do as much or as little as you like. Kayaking, snorkeling, diving (at additional cost), fishing, and sailing on a dhow are all options for leisure. Retire at night to your private seafront villa and drift off to the sound of the Indian Ocean lapping the shore. One of your nights you’ll have the option of sleeping out in the Underwater Room. This private room is anchored offshore with 360-degree underwater views of a tropical reef – its the most exclusive room in all of Africa! There is no finer way to punctuate your African adventure!
