Thanda Island
Sand fringed isle boasting aquatic adventures


The personal residence of Swedish moguls Christin and Dan Olofsson, this consummate island hideaway set on a 8ha private island in Tanzania’s Shungi Mbili reserve is newly available for private hire. Guests bedding down in the isle’s plush villa, a design-savvy space decked out in subtle earth tones, will enjoy an attractive roll-out of add-ons, including a Steinway grand piano, a pizza oven, intriguing artwork, as well as its own indoor-outdoor aquarium – though a house-own reef invites unsurpassed snorkelling and diving opportunities to better witness marine life, including manatees and whale sharks, in their natural habitat.
