Sample Itinerary
Stay here comfortably in Swahili-decorated rooms right on the beach.
Enjoy a cooling dip in the pole.
Or laze on a sun lounger overlooking the beach and the Indian Ocean.
Choose your meals from the fisherman’s daily catch and watch when your personal chef sets up a fusion of traditional Zanzibari and international flavors. The meals are a mixture of gourmet cooking and traditional Zanzibari cuisine with lots of seafood. The breakfast buffet includes fresh fruit, muffins, croissants, cereals and yogurt as well as an English breakfast. Lunch and dinner are three-course meals. A personal butler is also available throughout the day and helps with activity bookings and spa treatments.
Matemwe is a paradise for children. Here they can swim, snorkel, dive, fish and learn about exotic fruits.
You can also do guided tours on the reef, kayaking or deep sea fishing.
We recommend a visit to Stone Town, one of the world’s oldest swahili communities with traces of bygone times, sultans, staggering alleys and spice markets.

Good to know about Tanzania
Travel Ethics: To show respect for religion and culture in Zanzibar, we recommend covering your shoulders and knees when you visit Stone Town. When you are on the beach or on a boat, bikini and bathing suits are excellent.
Visa: Swedish travelers need a visa to visit Tanzania and Zanzibar. This can be arranged at the airport upon arrival at a charge of USD 50, or in advance via Tanzania’s Embassy in Sweden, Stockholm.
Time zone: GMT + 3
Tide: Whole Zanzibar is under the influence of tide from the Indian Ocean. The difference between low tide and high tide can be up to 2 ½ meters, giving a fascinating view of the fluctuated coastal ecosystem. The east coast of Zanzibar is protected by coral reefs, creating a vast area of shallow water that is exposed when the tide is low. Every day, tide changes twice, with a daily offset of 20 minutes, so the big and low-water cycle is a little different every day. This may mean that in many places you have to go far out to swim in the ocean when the tide is low.

These camper and lodges are run by an organization that is one of the pioneers in the industry. Here we are lucky enough to welcome guests to some of the most special places on earth. Places of stunning nature abounding wildlife and full of cultural significance. These areas are of exceptional value for all of us living on this planet, now and in the future.
With our presence and through your visit you can make a lasting positive impact on nature and local businesses alike. By generating revenue, we increase opportunities for people to prosper and support efforts that preserve and ultimately expand untouched habitats. Our goal is to make a real difference with everything we work with.
We are proud to take a groundbreaking approach: to set up camps and lodges in areas where tourism has little footing and make long-term commitments for these sites to flourish. In the end, sustainable tourism can be transformed into new areas, transforming them into viable and lasting conservation-based economies, with everlasting revenues for both its people and the protection of wildlife.
Regardless of whether we already have a presence or explore opportunities to enter new countries, the key to making an impact is to know where the greatest challenges lie. It starts by judging the control and management set-up, identifying cavities, and establishing what the best approach is to address the problems encountered.
We take a common strategy, working with local communities, government agencies, NGOs and other companies to achieve the best possible long-term results for the areas we committed ourselves to. These partnerships allow us to identify where we can make the biggest contribution and impact.
This organization supports 14 different schools in the immediate vicinity of each camp.
Supporting conservation projects such as: Mara Cheetah project, Mara Lion project, Serengeti cheetah and lion project, The African people & amp; wildlife fund, ruaha carnivore project.
Other projects supported are: Children concern foundation orphanage, Koiyaki guiding school, Mara Naboisho conservancy.
You also support different local projects at each camp. One is certified and has received awards at a variety of recognized sustainable tourism organizations.
Every camp is run in a sustainable and ecological manner to minimize CO2 emissions.
