Chole Mjini Lodge, Tanzania

 Some Swahili Coast aficionados have been to Zanzibar plenty of times but seldom heard of its small cousin, the island of Mafia. The name may sound ominous, but Mafia is a brilliantly innocent island of sand & shimmering light, around 160 kilometers south of Zanzibar. Of the few individuals who make it here, most are divers: in the surrounding waters whale sharks & turtles float above a quantity of the best preserved coral reefs in Tanzania. A actual getaway to a stunning remote island. Be at with nature in your one-of-a-kind treehouse, no windows or doors, surrounded by jungle foliage & fanned by a breeze straight off the sea. Swim in crystal clear water, coral gardens with colours that leave you speechless, dive with whale sharks,
sundown sails, romantic, candlelit outdoor dinners, a quantity of our wonderful memories. Mafia has an even tinier relative, Chole, an islet over a kilometer long tucked off its southeastern shore. Hidden among the dense mangroves, baobabs & tangled figs are half a dozen treehouses making up Chole Mjini, a simple off-grid eco-lodge. Stay in Treehouse No.1, & you may have nesting fish eagles for neighbors.

Chole Mjini was seldom meant to be a hotel, & it is not. It is a castaway fantasy, a jungle island retreat appealing to a specific kind of person; who appreciates a return to simple luxuries that reawaken the senses, than the predictable comforts of room service & air-conditioning.

The broad Zambezi River looks quiet from the deck at the top of this three-tier treehouse, but a few bends away that all changes.

Set against the basalt rock bed, amongst the branches of a riverine Ebony tree, this house spreads out over a sustainable pine deck that guarantees brilliant views of the Zambezi River. You cannot listen to the roar of Victoria Falls from The Tree House but they are close. There's multiple ways to experience the falls, from soaring through the spray in a microlight to rafting the rapids or bungee leaping from the Victoria Falls Bridge. The spectacle has drawn visitors to the area since 1855, beginning with the explorer David Livingstone. When it hits the lip of Batoka Gorge, the river hurls itself over at three,3000 cubic meters a second. This riverside eyrie high up in an ebony tree, with king-size bed and claw-footed bath, provides a pla
