Pemba's turtles

We are fortunate to have both endangered Hawksbill and Green Turtles using the beach at Pemba Lodge for their nesting sites. These beautiful creatures lay their eggs in nests on our pristine beach before heading back out to sea. After a period of two months the hatchlings are born.

activities

At Pemba Lodge, the favorite activity is relaxing and doing nothing! However, there are quite a few activities for you to enjoy around the lodge and the island; they are designed to get you as close as possible to Shamiani’s natural treasures without disturbing them. Such as kayaking, reef walks, trekking along bush trails, snorkelling and diving, traditional line fishing and deep sea fishing, birdwatching or just sit and enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset we have and gaze at the amazing sky, which at night magically come alive with stars and planets not normally viewed.

BAR AND RESTAURANT

Meals at Pemba Lodge are predominantly seafood based, and depend on what the local fishermen have caught that day.

Pemba Lodge consists of only five spacious, rustic and comfortable bungalows, set along a picture perfect Indian Ocean beach. Despite its remoteness, our guests are treated to all the essential luxuries: rainwater showers, big, comfortable beds with mosquito nets, solar powered lighting, wholesome and tasty Swahili fusion meals, a well-stocked bar, warm and personal service – and all of that amidst a stunning, unspoilt environment.

PEMBA ECO LODGE

ABOUT

Pemba Lodge was built in 2009-2010 on the untouched Shamiani Island off Pemba, Zanzibar. Highlighted as the latest up-and-coming eco-lodge in East Africa by the respected Bradt Travel Guide to Zanzibar, it opened in September 2010. It was inspired by the owner’s enthusiasm to establish a true eco-lodge on his homeland of Pemba.

Shamiani Island is located in the South East of Pemba, reachable in 15-30 minutes on a traditional sailing boat with outboard engine. Before the arrival of Pemba Lodge, it was home only to the inhabitants of Shamiani village, along with an abundance of tropical flora and fauna, including the rare and endangered green sea turtle.

Despite its remoteness, our guests are treated to all the essential luxuries: rainwater showers, big, comfortable beds with mosquito nets, solar powered lighting, wholesome and tasty Swahili fusion meals, a well-stocked bar, warm and personal service – and all of that amidst a stunning, unspoilt environment.

We might not be able to offer you ice cream or satellite TV, but our seafood is bought freshly from the village fishermen, our fruit and vegetables are grown organically, and in our team, you will find the natural, easy friendliness and hospitality of the Swahili people.
