Mnemba

Mnemba Island is the ultimate escape. Selected by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the three most romantic ocean destinations in the world, Mnemba surpasses all expectations. The island is an incomparable barefoot paradise: private cottages are hidden in the dappled shade. The soothing rhythms of tide and time will ease your entire being - mind, body and soul.

The rare Ader's duiker at Mnemba.

While we were at Mnemba Island a while ago, everyone was telling us about the rare sightings of the Ader's Duiker, so we were on lookout all the time! We were walking from the boathouse on our second last day when we noticed this duiker. At first we were not too excited as we thought that it was a Suni which is seen often at Mnembe but when it turned around, we noticed the white on its rump. Of course then we got really excited, got some pictures and that definitely made our day! Fantastic sighting!
