 Chole Mjini is a lodge set in the baobab trees on the island of Chole at the Southern tip of Mafia. A small island off a small island off a small island. You can not get more remote. Jean and Anne De Villiers the founders of Chole Mjini have been friends since way before they moved to Chole over ten years ago. This is real eco friendly tourism, the first time we travelled to Chole there was no Hotel but Jean and Anne had set up a dispensery and a school. Jean and Anne settled here with their young children Didier and Maja and with limited resources and with the help of the local people have slowly built a lodge by hand which has become legendary.
You reach the lodge by landrover from Kilondoni airport and then cross over to the island by Dow.
The food is made from local ingredients, freshly caught fish, locally grown vegetables.
The style is simple with a distinct local Swahili flavour and all served in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.
The accommodation is a series of unique rooms set in the trees. There is no electricity and lighting is with paraphin lamps. The toilets are composting and the hot water sporadic. If you are looking for a sanitised world this is absolutely not for you. This is a real island hideout on the edge of the tropical forest. The simplicity of Chole Mjini means it is not for everyone but that is what makes it so special. This is not five star luxury accommodation but this remote past of Mafia Island is the nearest you can get to the end of the world.
