Mnemba Island Lodge lies 2 km off the northeastern tip of Zanzibar Island mainland. The Island is 1,5 km in circumference and is surrounded by a tropical Indian Ocean coral reef. Once the site of a volcano, Mnemba Island forms part of an atoll.

Mnemba Island Lodge consists of 10 twin-bedded (all convertible to double beds) Zanzibari bandas, with direct access to the beach and coral reef. Each banda is built of indigenous materials, mostly woven and thatched with palm leaves. The bandas have en-suite bathrooms with w/c, shower, basin, hot & cold water (obtained from a well), ceiling fans as well as a spacious outdoor verandah.

The dining area lies adjacent to the lounge/bar. There is a small library with a selection of wildlife books, games and magazines. Sun loungers are placed on the beach for guests' comfort. Guest areas are all open sided, cooled by sea breezes, informal and relaxed. Fresh fish is served at both lunch and dinner along with chicken and beef on request.

at Mnemba Island Lodge Guests can enjoy snorkelling, windsurfing, kayaking and scuba diving (if in possession of a valid diving certificate - maximum 2 dives per day). A variety of diving courses and deep sea fishing are available at an additional charge. All scuba and snorkelling equipment is provided. A stay of 5 days or more would be needed to complete the PADI open water course.
