SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

Laba Fanjove, is a private, eco-friendly resort located on Fanjove Island, part of the Songo Songo Archipelago off the southern coast of Tanzania.

Private Eco-Friendly Resort

Secluded Retreat

Overlooked by one of the last remaining 19th-century lighthouses built by the Germans, this secluded retreat is known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and commitment to sustainable tourism.

Accommodations are designed to harmonise with the natural environment, featuring rustic yet luxurious bandas (bungalows) made from locally sourced materials. Each banda offers direct access to the beach and stunning ocean views.

Breakfast and lunch are served on the shaded terrace, though guests can also opt for the charm of a picnic on a sandbar accessible only by boat, or a shaded lunch on one of the island’s beaches. In the evening, the atmosphere becomes quite magical, with options to dine in the glow of the illuminated lighthouse or enjoy a bonfire lit meal on the beach. Chef Edmund, trained in France under a Michelin-starred chef, crafts delicious, healthy, and locally inspired cuisine. For an alternative dining experience, set sail on a traditional East Africa coast sailing vessel, a Dhow, for a sunset dinner like no other.

The spa offers a menu of thalassotherapy treatments and massages, with each treatment room featuring stunning sea views. For those looking to stay active, the open-sided gym provides a breathtaking ocean backdrop, making it an inspiring place to work out and stay fit.

The resort offers activities like snorkeling, diving, and marine safaris where Spinner Dolphins and Bottlenose Dolphins are regularly spotted in the surrounding marine sanctuary. From November to March, the island is the destination of migratory birds. Armed with good pair of binoculars, and stationed in a discreet lookout spot, you can appreciate the rich diversity of the island’s neighbours.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91�� stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH”

Once again, Ultimate Travel organised a fabulous holiday for us. Their service is excellent from start to finish and their staff at the destination are the best. We have been so well looked after. They really understand what you are looking for and deliver the perfect holiday to match. I highly recommend Ultimate Travel for your next holiday!
