Private island of the Songo Songo archipelago
Located a bit further south than Zanzibar and Mafia Island, the Songo Songo archipelago consists of six islands protected by numerous coral reefs. This is the perfect picture of a tropical paradise. What a treat to settle down here after your adventurous journey on the mainland, to wash off the dust and reflect on the many, many experiences. You will stay in a spacious and cozy bungalow with plenty of modern comforts and timeless views of the beach and sea. When you wake up, feel the light sea breeze on your skin, feel the grains of sand under your feet, feel the mild water temperature as you take your first dip of the day. Intense enjoyment, beneficial relaxation. Where the world can't find you...
Coral reefs, dolphins and a lighthouse
Your dilemmas of the day are blissfully uncluttered: are there activities? Or will it be a day of unfettered idleness? Going out to sea to snorkel or dive somewhere? Or is it enough to search for dolphins, which are numerous in these waters? Will it be lunch at home or a picnic on a sandbar? Or walk along the beach to the lighthouse, where the bar and restaurant are? First just enjoy iced coffee or some fresh fruit. The pineapple and mango here taste so much sweeter and softer than at home.
