Matemwe Beach Bungalows Sansibar

matemwe bungalows


matemwe Bungalows and Dhow Divers, Zanzibar- offer you a perfect mix of
relaxation and excitement. Enjoy the contrasting colours of the Indian Ocean, the fine
powder sand of the beach and the wild bush vegetation.
	Daily life at Matemwe is much regulated by the moon and the tides. The lagoon and coastline have much to offer in their own right. A discussion on having our own swimming pool rages on, but at the same time we believe that activities at low tide supply our guests with lots of opportunities to discover our direct environment in a different way.
At Matemwe, besides bike rides on the endless beach and reef walks through the lagoon to the roaring ocean just outside the fringing reef we have added a new and environmental friendly toy: THE KAYAK! Matemwe Bungalows was built to offer you a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement.
	The rural north-east coast of Zanzibar is well-known for its fine weather and natural beauty. That's why we call it the Sunny Side of Paradise. After years of loving care the garden of Matemwe Bungalows forms a small oasis in this otherwise dry scrub bush land.
Enjoy the contrasting colours of the Indian Ocean, the fine powder sand of the beach, the extreme beauty of the coral reef and the wild bush vegetation. At Matemwe meet the friendly villagers, visit the local fish market and explore the ocean reefs on your doorstep. You can leave your watch at home, the sun and moon are clocks enough in Matemwe.
	Forget about work. Just relax and fall apart in our backyard! Ocean Life- Big fish - and we mean BIG fish - have arrived again in the ocean in front of us. At present not a day passes by when whale sharks or humpback whales are not spotted.
Half a year ago a ten-meter sperm whale beached itself on the reef supplying the villagers with much needed food for many days and oil used for preservation of their boats, leaving behind a fantastic skeleton, which is now on display in our garden.
	Lodging at Matemwe Bungalows- Matemwe Bungalows has 15 bungalows built from local materials, each with a personal touch. All the rooms, as well as our restaurant are directly overlooking the Indian Ocean.
At Matemwe you can enjoy the comings and goings of the local ngalawa fishing fleet from the comfort of your private veranda or from the restaurant. At Matemwe Bungalows the eight self-contained rooms and the four suites have lighting and hot water both powered by the sun. The three shared bathroom bungalows have solar lighting only. Their bathrooms are situated outside the room.
	All rooms share common features such as private veranda and a hammock. Although mosquitos are a rare species in Matemwe Bungalows all rooms are equiped with a large mosquito net. Our so called suites are provided with a large king size bed especially suited for honeymooners. An extra single bed makes them also suitable for a small family.
Restaurant-Seafood is the speciality of the house, with all produce bought daily from the local markets. Lunch is a buffet offering a delicious mix of African and European flavours. Dinner offers a choice of main courses between meat, fish and vegetarian. Our barbeque of meat and fish is particularly popular.
	At Matemwe Bungalows for the early birds the sunrise is a sight to savour. Early morning tea/coffee will be served at your veranda. The full moon rising out of the sea is a wonderful romantic experience you're not likely to forget. On moonless nights gaze and get lost in the star-filled sky. Emails and faxes are confined to our office in Stone Town. Television just didn't make it into Paradise. Diving and snorkling- Dhow Divers, our Matemwe's Padi resort dive center, provides water safaris with full high range equipment which enables you to enjoy the local reef and discover Mnemba Atoll in a relaxed and informative manner. Come to join us on our traditional wooden sailing dhow!
Local sites are suitable for all levels of experience from beginner to advanced. Variety is the key word on the reefs around Matemwe. Soft and hard corals, sponges and anemones abound, and wether you are a total novice, snorkeler or keen diver, you will be amazed by the sheer range of fish species to be found in these waters.
Tide- For the more experienced divers explore the reef with our DPV (diving propulsion vehicle) or simply come along as a snorkler to see the sight of wild dolphins, trying to impress you swimming and jumping next to the boat. As at low tide boats can’t enter or leave the lagoon our dive times are changing every day. At low tide the shallow waters make the perfect time to explore the lagoon by walking along the intertidal pathway or explore the coastline from your own kayak.
	Other activities at Matemwe Bungalows: reefwalking, biking, sailing and kayaking- Visit the local village or make a bike trip on the endless stretch of palm fringed beach. Once the tide is coming in you can go sailing with the local fishermen in their ngalawas! Low Tide Activities- A unique and healthy way to discover the Matemwe coast in peace and silence.
Honeymoon suites- Matemwe Bungalows now boasts 12 self contained rooms. The newest four rooms are honeymoon suites. The suites are of a large, open space design incorporating such features as louvered windows, a raised double bed and a spacious veranda complete with hammock. Coconut wood fixtures and fittings give an exotic feel to the suites. Honeymoon couples receive complementary champagne and flowers in their room. For the truly romantic: why not go the whole way and get married on Matemwe beach? Wedding ceremonies can be conducted by prior arrangement.
Dhow Divers’ is still one of the few dive centers which uses the traditional made dhows for diving and snorkelling operations at Matemwe Bungalows. At the same time the center is not shying away from offering you the ultimate ‘James Bond’ experience to discover the ocean with DPV’s (diving propulsion vehicle).
	Matemwe Bungalows- The north-east part of the island of Unguja (one of the two main islands of Zanzibar), near the coast of Tanzania, is known as Matemwe. Matemwe Bungalows is open 10 months of the year. In July the weather is cool and windy, the winds dropping steadily during August. By November it is generally calm and pleasantly hot. The short rains fall late November / early December and help us keep the garden green. This can be an ideal time to visit Matemwe Bungalows as it is low season and usually quiet. In 'winter', the weather is hot and dry with a cool sea breeze. April brings heavy rains and the hotel closes after Easter for two months.
