A Private Island in Tanzania

Camp Details

A member of The Leading Hotels of the World, Thanda Island opened in 2016 as a luxury private island, and has repeatedly been voted by the World Travel Awards as the World’s Leading Exclusive Private Island.

Offering an exclusive, single-key Villa for you, your family and friends to enjoy completely for yourselves, it has five romantic, air-conditioned suites that open directly onto the beach, accommodating ten adults with additional beds available for children. On the island are also two traditional, open-air Tanzanian bandas (beach chalets) for your exclusive use.

This unique luxury getaway has been created for adventure, relaxation and total privacy. It offers spectacular snorkelling, diving, big game fishing and many other aquatic activities in this place of absolute natural beauty in the protected Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve.

WHY CHOOSE THANDA ISLAND?

• You’ll find yourself spontaneously relaxing while you restore your vital force in a serene but adventure-filled environment where time dissolves.
• Walk through the bush behind the Villa and onto a white sand trail to visit the white, grey and black Egrets that inhabit the Island.
• The Island invites you to enjoy simple, exquisite pleasures… strolling along your own private 1,1km beach or exploring the 8ha Island where the only sign of human habitation is the occasional, traditional fishing dhow in the distance.
