Environment and local community

Pemba has been separated from the mainland and Zanzibar for decades,leaving an untouched and pristine island of great beauty and fertility.

The mosaic of forests, swamps, mangroves, hidden beaches and lagoons is scattered with the ruins of mosques and tombs mostly reclaimed by the forest - sites that date back to Arab domination when Pemba was seized by the Sultan of Muscat (Oman) in the 17th century.

Apart from excellent snorkelling and diving, immediately off Pemba’s beaches regular fish catches include rainbow runners, bonito, kingfish, and wahoo. Plenty of dolphins are spotted every day around the island of Pemba, which also holds the worlds oldest preserved rain forest.
 


The Manta Resort continually seeks to support the conservation of all wildlife of Pemba. The lodge strives to have as little impact on the environment and community as possible. They are involved in several programs to preserve Pemba wildlife and make life easier for their Pembian hosts, helping them with educational programs, healthcare, fresh water pumps and employment opportunities. 2% of all The Manta Resort earnings go directly to support wildlife conservation programs on Pemba.


Pemba Alive

Pemba Alive is an active program supporting the community. Pemba Alive's aim is to supply the local community with the tools they need to create their own future – on their terms. The Pemba Alive programme is striving to support, help educate their young and help the local people to preserve this unique place for future generations.

Our opinion

The Manta Resort offers the perfect balance of privacy, romance and adventure all at a sensible cost. It’s one of the only resorts to offer a proper all inclusive on drinks, meals and other services. In fact your only extras are likely to be tips for the dedicated staff that will look after you impeccably throughout your stay.

We think that this resort offers excellent value, particularly in the recently re furbished garden rooms and should be a strong contender for anyone looking to relax or experience breathtaking diving. The reef here is totally untouched with excellent visibility, suitable for beginners or the more advanced... - it’s easy to see why Pemba is one of the top dive sites in the world.
