LOCATION: Emayani is a small & friendly lodge built in a coconut grove on the shore of Tanzania’s mainland, just opposite to Zanzibar Island. Emayani is the perfect place to unwind; however you like to do that located some 377 km from Dar Es Salaam and 17 km from Pangani town.                             

ROOMS & DESCRIPTION: Our spacious and airy palm leaf bungalows, or ‘bandas’ are widely spaced along the shore of our own coconut grove. The bandas are built from renewable local materials….coconut-leaf mats and sisal poles. They blend into the environment and provide a comfortable shady retreat from the warmth, with all the comforts you would expect.

At the front of each banda is a wide verandah with comfy chairs, where you can sit and watch the ocean or enjoy your sundowner. Inside is a large bedroom with a huge, very comfortable bed. There is plenty of space so we can easily add additional beds without crowding. And though we aren’t much troubled by insects, all beds have spacious mosquito nets.

Beyond the bedroom is an ‘en suite’ bathroom with a western style toilet, shower, and solar heated water. The bandas have windows with roll up blinds which allow you to control the cooling effect of the sea breeze. If you like you can roll up all the blinds and enjoy having the view of the ocean and palms all around you.

RESTAURANT & BAR: Emayani has a bar and restaurant which offers both African and European style food and beverages.

OTHER FACILITIES & SERVICES: Snorkeling, sailing, fishing, bird watching, cultural tours and walking safaris.
