As you arrive at the lodge, indulge in a refreshing welcome drink that sets the tone for your luxurious island retreat. Check into your private Banda, a tranquil beachfront sanctuary where you'll spend the next three nights. Take a moment to settle in and absorb the serene surroundings, immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the Indian Ocean. Later in the afternoon, unwind with a peaceful yoga session overlooking the turquoise waters.

As evening falls, delight your palate with a sumptuous dinner showcasing local flavors and fresh seafood at the lodge's inviting restaurant. Relax and recharge during your overnight stay, surrounded by the sounds of the ocean and the gentle sea breeze.

Begin your day with a hearty breakfast served against the backdrop of breathtaking ocean views. Following breakfast, embark on a morning snorkeling expedition to discover the vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life of Mnemba Atoll. After your underwater adventure, return to the lodge for a leisurely lunch, where you can relax and recount your morning's discoveries.

In the afternoon, embark on a memorable dhow cruise, sailing into the sunset while enjoying refreshing sundowners. As night falls, you have the option to indulge in a romantic dinner under the stars or unwind with a drink at the lodge bar, savoring the tranquility of the island's ambiance. 

Retire for the night, anticipating another day of luxury and exploration in this tropical paradise.

Day 3: Dive The Underwater Wonders

Following breakfast, prepare for a day of adventure and relaxation amidst the island's pristine waters. Start with a guided kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding excursion, gliding along the crystal-clear waters that surround the lodge.

Take a refreshing mid-morning break with tea or coffee served on the tranquil beach, soaking in the serene atmosphere. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the underwater wonders of Mnemba Atoll with two guided dives, where you can explore diverse marine ecosystems (PADI certification required).

After your dives, return to the lodge for a well-deserved relaxation period or indulge in an optional spa treatment to rejuvenate your body and mind. Later in the afternoon, join a guided yoga session, designed to enhance your relaxation and restore your energy.

Very Responsive and Patient w/ Our Needs!
Anja has been great in making our travel reservations! She is very quick and responsive (at all hours, I'm not sure when she sleeps)! We went back and forth on 39 emails. Yes, 39 emails for a couple of weeks. She made several different itineraries in ranging prices, types of accommodations, and locations. She was patient through the whole process and provided so much information. We finally decided on our perfect trip!

Shann @ Safari.com is fantastic!
We worked with Shann Shaw and she was amazing! As someone who usually books my own travel I was a little bit skeptical at first... But safaris are not like a typical vacation and there are just SO many different options. Shann was incredibly patient in answering all of my questions, and eventually found the perfect safari lodge for me and my family. I really don't think I could have done it without her help. Highly recommend working with her!

Aquilia Safari trip
Re: Safari from Cape Town to Aquilia. Fadiel was very helpful and organised our trip for us. We were picked up by Joe, who was our driver for the day. Joe is born and raised in Cape Town. He was prompt and was very friendly and informative. There was a good choice of food at Aquilia and had choices for my husband too who is Coeliac.
