The spirit of the journey

This journey is a true quest for self-discovery.
Far from the turmoil, far from civilisation, far from everything.
The South, to escape the tourist crowds of northern Tanzania, rediscover the Africa we love and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones.

Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous) opens the journey with its vast plains, winding rivers, lakes, wetlands and wooded hills.
These varied landscapes create spectacular scenes for wildlife lovers and photographers.

The quest continues in Ruaha, without doubt one of our favourite landscapes in Tanzania.
Vast savannahs of tall grass rippling in the wind, crossed by the Great Ruaha River, lined with trees and lush vegetation, drawing numerous animals to drink along its banks and creating picturesque scenery.
A striking sight!

And for one final sense of being at the end of the world, fly to the private island of Fanjove and its 19th-century lighthouse, a captivating island in the Songo Songo archipelago.

Our idea of luxury!

FANJOVE ISLAND
Here, you’ll learn to live without shoes!
A flight to the Songo Songo archipelago, off the eastern coast of Tanzania, followed by a 40-minute boat “journey”, takes you to this unspoilt natural beauty.
Your tropical retreat for 4 nights, far from the bustle of Zanzibar.
There is only one lodge on the island, helping to preserve its exclusive, tranquil character.
The lodge offers an exclusive, eco-friendly stay, with an emphasis on environmental preservation and personalised service.

Enjoy that feeling of being alone in the world, in this ecolodge which now has ten luxury villas of 130 m2 each, every one facing the beach, with a decidedly bohemian-chic style.
The island is also home to a 19th-century lighthouse, renovated and converted into a restaurant. Superb!

As for activities, the ecolodge offers snorkelling (equipment provided, departing from the beach), scuba diving (PADI instructor), swimming with dolphins, picnicking on a sandbank, a traditional dhow cruise, walks around the island, birdwatching, dolphin and green turtle sightings in season, as well as the usual water sports.

It is also possible to privatise the entire island.

Laba Fanjove Private Island

Fanjove appartient à l'archipel Songo Songo, au sud de Dar es Salaam. Cinq îles seulement, dont les plus méridionales, Fanjove et Jewe, semblent avoir été oubliées par le reste du monde. Une heure de vol depuis Dar es Salaam, puis une quarantaine de minutes en boutre traditionnel... Le trajet lui-même dit quelque chose de ce qui attend.

L'île est petite, délibérément exclusive. Seize beach villas, un vieux phare, du sable blanc, et l'océan. Rien d'autre, ou presque. Les villas de plain-pied s'étirent le long du rivage avec suffisamment d'espace entre elles pour que chacun ait l'impression d'avoir l'île pour soi. Le confort est réel, l'élégance sobre, sans effet, sans démonstration.
Fanjove n'offre pas un programme mais une mise à distance. Du bruit, du rythme, des écrans, des obligations.
Ici, le temps ne s'accélère pas. Il reprend simplement sa forme naturelle.
