MNEMBA ISLAND LODGE -

There’s an old joke that, in heaven, the cooks are French, the policemen are English, the lovers are Italian and it’s all run by the Germans; while in hell it's reversed (English cooks, Italian management etc). Well, that's all wrong. In heaven the cooks are African, the one ‘policeman’ is a laid-back Aussie and it’s all run by South Africans. We know this is true, because we’ve been there. (Lovers aren’t provided, by the way – you should bring your own).

So where is this heaven? It's a tiny island near Zanzibar, off Africa's eastern coast. Thickly wooded with palms and whistling pines, ringed by a continuous white-sand beach and set amid sparkling turquoise waters, it’s pretty much as you would expect heaven to look. Idyllic. There are ten secluded bandas (bungalows) made from thatched palm leaves and pine branches, open to the cooling breeze, with their own bathroom and shady porch. A stone’s throw away is the dazzling beach, whose waters teem with exotically-colored fish and coral forests that most divers only dream of.
