Frequently asked questions
About Mnemba
Mnemba is a small island located off the northeast coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The official currency used in Tanzania is the Tanzanian Shilling. Mnemba is known for its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. The island is also a nesting site for green turtles, adding to its natural beauty. Visitors can enjoy luxury accommodation in exclusive beach resorts on the island.
When to visit
The best time to visit Mnemba is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this time, the weather is sunny and dry, perfect for beach activities and water sports. The wet season, from November to May, brings heavy rainfall and high humidity, which may not be ideal for outdoor activities. However, the wet season is a great time for birdwatching and enjoying the lush green landscapes of the island.
Getting around
As Mnemba is a small private island, the best way to get around is by foot or bicycle. Most resorts on the island provide bicycles for guests to explore the surroundings. Water taxis and boat transfers are also available for island hopping or visiting nearby attractions. The lack of motorized vehicles on the island adds to its peaceful and secluded atmosphere.
Traveller tips
Pack light and bring only essentials as the island has limited facilities. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and insect repellent to protect yourself from the sun and bugs. Respect the local customs and traditions of the islanders. Try the fresh seafood and local dishes for a taste of authentic Tanzanian cuisine. Book activities and tours in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak tourist seasons.
