A partnership between &BEYOND and Africa Foundation, Oceans Without Borders strives to catalyse positive change across our marine footprint to leave our oceans a better place by applying our proven care-trilogy to the ocean, marine wildlife, and coastal communities. Oceans Without Borders Objectives are:
1 Baseline: To facilitate world class research in order to inform decision making and track progress
2 Care of the Ocean: Support the improved effectiveness of marine habitat conservation and the establishment or enlargement of marine protected areas (MPAs), seeking higher conservation status
3 Care of the Wildlife: Support the protection of iconic species
4 Care of the People: Through collaboration and coordination with local communities, facilitate community-lead development of sustainable marine resource use practices, and alternative revenue and food sources that reduce marine dependency.
5 Global Reach: Multiply positive impact on oceans globally through the engagement and education of &BEYOND guests and collaboration with international initiatives
The pristine white beaches of Mnemba, surrounded by deep blue ocean, combine to make this island a private tropical paradise: Mnemba is inhabited only by guests and the staff taking care of them. While the dazzling beaches and brilliant sunshine invite guests to spend idle hours on shore, magnificent coral reefs create an underwater wonderland to be explored with snorkeling and diving activities. The island is renowned as one of the African coastline’s most romantic destinations, offering unparalleled seclusion and rustic exclusivity. Each of the 10 secluded “bandas” (typical cottages from the area) has a spacious veranda and is hidden in the shade of a tropical beach forest. Zanzibar is famous for its woodcarvings and the headboards adorning the beds are created by some of the Island’s most skilled artisans.
