Michamvi Peninsula is located on the South-East coast of Zanzibar. The peninsula is an only 10 kilometers long and 2 km broad headland between Chwaka Bay on the East and the Indian Ocean on the West. As there are only a handful of hotels in this pristine area, quitness is guaranteed. The only sounds you are likely to hear are the gentle waves of the Indian Ocean and nature itself.
Chwaka Bay is part of the Jozani Forest- Chwaka Bay Conservation Area. The coral rag zone is habitat for wildlife species of international significance including the endemic and near extinct Zanzibar leopard (P.pardus adersii), the red colobus monkey (Procolubus badius Kirkii) and the Ader duiker (Cephalophud adersii). The Conservation area harbours five important vegetation zones: ground water forest, coral rag forest, salt marsh, mangrove forest, and sea grass beds. Trips exploring the nature with a local guide can be arranged from the hotel.
On the Peninsula's Ocean side, there is a long barrier reef approximately 1 km offshore. We can arrange diving and snorkelling trips at the reef. Mnemba Island in the North of Zanzibar's East Coast is a popular coral reef diving spot of international importance. We rent snorkelling and diving equipment.
Zanzibar's capital Stone Town can be reached in approximately 45 Minutes by car. On the way there you will pass Jozani Forest, famous for its red colobus monkeys. And if you are seeking for nightlife, the village of Paje is only 20 minutes away.
