Siamo stati in questo Lodge quattro notti. lati positivi:un gran pace e tranquillità ma che finisce qua. Lati negativi: il nostro rubinetto del bagno perdeva acqua in continuazione e ci si è allagata tutta la camera e l’acqua ci ha bagnato i vestiti e altri nostri oggetti nonostante questo il signor Mike non ha pensato neanche un secondo a scusarsi del disagio, non ci ha fatto neanche un minimo di sconto visto il disagio che per due giorni abbiamo provato.
Loro giocano sul fatto di essere gli unici lì a poterti dare un servizio e per questo i prezzi sono alti i rispetto alle altre strutture in cui abbiamo alloggiato, anche le escursioni in mare hanno dei prezzi alti rispetto alla norma per poi non farti vedere niente di che se non quello che il mare offre anche davanti al lodge.
Detto ciò bisogna essere onesti e riconoscere i propri sbagli e non avere l’arroganza di far finta di niente.

If you enjoy nature this is definetly your place. The lodge offer activities to know the nature in the island, including diving. Very confortable dive that start from the same accomodation. The logde suponer the conservation program of the coconut grab, and endangered specie. You will see them every night walking around. The menu is delicious and lot of vegeterian options! Mike and his team is so hospitable that they make you feel at home. We will come back.

This is a wonderful place to stay if want perfect peace and quiet.
Fantastic sunsets to be viewed on comfy sofas facing the beach.
Great food and service from all the staff.
Maybe the rooms could do with a little maintenance.

Il est regrettable qu'un centre de plongée fasse payer l'eau alors que la déshydratation est facteur d'accident de décompression !

If I come back to Pemba I would stay here again, despite not being a diver - and the lodge is definitely geared towards divers. One of the main selling points for me was the fact that they have offer a dorm, i.e. cheaper accommodation than what you would otherwise find in Pemba. The remoteness was also refreshing after the hustle and bustle of Unguja.

I did not sleep at the Lodge but I took Diving lessons. Mike is an amazing instructor, he spent a lot of extra time teaching me how to dive as I was very scared at first. His patience and his passion for the sea helped me get in the Open Water. A big thanks to him for an unbelievable experience! I would highly recommend to dive with Mike.

My wife and I went to Pemba for a week and chose Swahili Divers after a recommendation from our travel agent. I can confidently say, this diving school has the highest safety standard I’ve experienced so far. We were taken care of 100% from the beginning to the end, Mike even came to meet me in person at our hotel prior the dives to discuss all certification options.
Mike and his team are incredibly thorough in all departments: pre dive planning, equipment maintenance, the actual dives and post dive. Surface intervals take place on the most beautiful small beaches, with no one else around - a highlight in itself.
I chose to do my advanced 35 and nitrox certifications while there. As a teacher Mike was extremely helpful, challenging and professional with one goal in mind: to make me the safest and best diver possible. His approach definitely changed my diving skills from the ground up.
As a tec diver himself, offering even decompression and rebreather courses, Mike‘s skillset surpasses all instructors I’ve seen so far.
Highly recommended, thank you Mike & Swahili Dive Team!

Mike and his team made this a very special stay for us. The hospitality was world class, the food delicious and the dives some of the best dives I’ve ever done. Aquarium is an extraordinary dive site with huge gardens of cabbage coral and colourful reef fish.

Tolles Tauchen, tolle Crew, gutes Essen, wunderschöner Ort. Das ganze im völligen Abseits vom Tourismus. Das hat jedoch auch einen stolzen Preis. Die Kosten wurden jedoch von Beginn an transparent gemacht, ausser dass das Essen und die Getränke auch ordentlich kosten. Ich hatte jedoch eine fantastische Zeit und wurde als einziger Gast privat durch die intakten, wunderschönen Riffe geführt. Wer sich im Abseits verlieren möchte und im Vergleich zu den Malediven und anderen Tauchmekkas in Afrika probieren möchte, sollte zuschlagen. Es ist seine Preise auf jeden Fall wert! Insbesondere weil niemand sonst dort taucht und es keine kommerzielle Fischerei gibt.

C'est sans doute ici que nous avons passé notre meilleur séjour sur l'archipel de Zanzibar. Mike le patron et son équipe sont au top. L'expérience de la plongée est géniale. Les chambres sont grandes, simples et correctes. La nourriture très bonne. Le lieu, isolé, proche de la plage et des villages, est idéal pour un séjour au calme.
Il reste à Mike à améliorer le robinet de la salle d'eau (mais c'est vraiment pour trouver un truc négatif...). Bref, si nous revenons à Pemba, nous reviendrons sans hésiter ici. Merci à Mike et son équipe. Christophe de FRANCE.

We had a great diving holiday!!!
The place itself is really remote and perfect to calm down and relax.
The room was absolutely spacious and comfortable.
The staff is very helpful and the food is amazing.
We enjoyed the daily diving trips as well as relaxing on the sun deck with a beer.
Mike is an excellent host and a very knowledgeable dive instructor who focuses on safety first and plans the dive trips according to everyone’s level.
Diving conditions around Pemba are stunning! There are places for every diver: beautiful coral gardens with colorful fish live (especially for divers and macro fotographers who love nudibranches, leave fish and stuff like that) starting from 5 meters but also steep walls with currents, large fish like potato groupers, napoleons, tuna, stingrays, eaglerays etc. which offer some nice drift diving. Visibility was amazing all the time and the surface interval took place on one of the beautiful sandy beaches nearby the dive site which was an excellent way to recover and have a coffee, some fruits and a pice of cake.
Offering world class diving conditions like that, it‘s only a matter of time until this place will get more and more recognized by the diving community all around the globe.

We went to Pemba last January to do our open water 20 scuba certification. We had Mike as an instructor. he was a fantastic teacher and passionate and he was very serious about safety. The dives sites are great. coral was in fantastic condition. We had a blast!
As for the resort, it is very quiet. Restaurant offer good and copious food at a reasonable price. The room are a bit rustic but comfortable. And you really don’t go to Pemba to stay in your room right?
Overall a fantastic experience well worth the efforts to go there. Would visit again!
