Fanjove
Have you ever thought of spending time on a desert island in close contact with nature and feeling as a little Robinson Crusoe? Fanjove is the answer.
An unspoiled island where in addition to a lonely resort there is an old 19th century lighthouse and some ruins of an old fishing village. The only signs of human presence on this island in the past .
Marine fauna is the real protagonist here: an intact coral reef that stretches for miles and the presence of dolphins, turtles and humpback whales will help making your stay mindblowing.
Fanjove: how to get there and where to sleep
Fanjove is one of the six small islands of the Songosongo archipelago, just off the coast of Tanzania, south of the famous archipelago of Zanzibar which also includes the islands of Mafia and Pemba.
You can reach Songosongo island, the main island of the archipelago, in only one hour by a Coastal Aviation, directly from Dar es Salaam. Then, it is possible to reach Fanjove by boat, generally using a traditional dhow, in only 40 minutes.
The lodge has 6 eco-bandas located directly on the beach in complete harmony with the environment. They have the opening in the front in the front to take advantage of the uninterrupted view of the ocean, which can also be enjoyed from the balcony on the upper floor.
The entire property has been designed to minimize its environmental impact. Solar energy is used for all rooms and buildings use traditional natural materials: sustainable wood, mukuti (palm leaves) and straw.
In the rooms there is neither electricity nor internet connection.
The real luxury here is represented by the silence interrupted only by the sound of the sea, the wind and the birds.
