Mnemba Island is an ideal tropical haven for holidaymakers located off the Tanzanian coast within the Zanzibar Archipelago, directly opposite Matemwe Beach on Tanzania’s mainland coast. It is a tiny rectangular island with a circumference of fewer than two kilometers and it is surrounded by oval reef, which leads to it being incorrectly referred to as the Mnemba atoll. The Island is renowned throughout East Africa as a scuba diving site and it is popular since it houses a wide variety of corals and numerous other marine species. Snorkeling is not allowed within a radius of 200 meters from the island. It is a privately owned paradise for those ready to enjoy the pleasures this island has to offer.
