Tanzania will see the opening of a new private island destination, Thanda Island, in April. The island is located in southern Tanzania’s Shungi Mbili Island Marine Reserve.

Off the grid and solar-powered, Thanda Island will feature an expansive, five-bedroom villa with a swimming pool and a huge indoor aquarium.

The island itself is 20 acres in size, nearly three-quarters of a mile around and almost 400 yards wide. It is surrounded by its own private coral reef, with an exclusive-use zone extending over a half-mile that can be explored with a snorkel and mask straight from the beach.

Sailboats, stand-up paddleboards and single and double kayaks are all available for use. The more adventurous can catch sight of whale sharks that congregate just south of the island from October to February or spot endangered dugong, which are similar to manatees, while scuba diving with qualified instructors. A powerboat zone outside the Marine Park to the south of the island is perfect for water skiing, Jet-Skiing, wakeboarding and tubing. Game fishing on a 28-foot reef runner cat off nearby Mafia Island is another available activity.

Depending on the season, guests can watch turtles nesting and their eggs hatching. Five species of marine turtles inhabit Tanzania’s waters, two of which — endangered green and hawksbill — have recently returned to nest on Thanda. Guests can also experience Swahili sea-faring culture on Mafia Island and picnic on a neighboring atoll.

Exclusive use of Thanda Island is offered at $10,000 per night, with a minimum stay of three to seven nights, depending on the season. The all-inclusive rate includes a team of dedicated staff, boat transfers from Mafia Island and all activities offered on the island along with all meals and drinks, including a hand-picked selection of wines and Champagnes. Spa treatments, diving and exclusive wines and Champagnes are extra.

Thanda Island is the sister property of the Thanda Safari private game reserve in Zululand South Africa, a Leading Hotel of the World.

Preta utakuwaje na residents rates wakati hicho kisiwa ni cha mtu binafsi [ private island]? Niliposoma nimechanganyikiwa kidogo, hicho kisiwa kiko Tanzania au nchi nyingine? Kama kiko Tanzania karibu na Mafia nani aliwauzia hao makaburu wawekezaji huko? Isije ikawa DHAIFU alipokuwa anasafiri safiri akakipiga bei kisiwa bila watu kujua!! Mwenye taarifa zaidi juu ya umiliki wa hiki kisiwa atujuze.

Huko hamtawasikia wabongo wakienda. Watumiaji wakubwa wa anasa kwa kumwaga mapesa walikua mafisadi na wauza unga. Hao ndio ambao mnaona gari zao za kifahari mjini. Wauza unga ndo wanakamatwa sasa wanafilisiwa Mali wengine wameshakimbia nchi. Mafisadi nao ndo hivyo. Usitegemee kuwaona kina wolper na kina wema na bikini zao kwenye kisiwa hicho. Wa kuwapeleka hawapo tena. Wale wabongo fleva nao dili za kufanya kazi ya u container kupeleka unga sauzi kwa mgongo wa kwenda kufanya video sgooting nao sahivi maisha yatarudi kama zamani mana waliokua wanawabebesha unga ndo Hao wamekimbia nchi tangu last week na wengine wameshikwa jana. Kabaki mtoto bilionea mwenye uhakika na usalama wake lkn nadhani anaona ni risky kuendelea

Nakumbuka bunge lililopita Mbunge wa Mafia alihoji hii issue.

I hate the concept of private people owning private Islands these are natural gifts from god and they are supposed to be enjoyed by all Tanzanians. My qstn is Who authorized the sale ? How much did they pay for the Island ? What is our cut in Taxes ?

[Naby Keita]

Magufuli eeh tumbua hili

 

[Tuko]

Kwa nini wasiweke tu hotels za kawaida mtu ukalipa dola 50 ukakaa?

 

[Jigsaw]

Dah.. Nakosa hata cha kuandika.

 

[ikipendaroho]

Naona hizi hoteli zitavunjwa kwa sababu ikitokea Tsunami hakuna means za kuwaokoa na serikali itakuwa lawamani!

 

[Ndinani]

Wananchi wanaposema huyu mkweree alikuwa fisadi na mwizi wajinga wengine bado wanamsifia eti alikuwa mpole !! Upole wenyewe ndio huo, ameuza wanyama pamoja na visiwa vya nchi yetu!! Haijawahi kutokea!!

 

[UmkhontoweSizwe]

Ofisini zao ziko wapi? Nataka kuomba tenda ya kufanya landscaping; kupanda au kupruni miti, kupanda/kubadilisha maua, kufyeka nasi nk. Naamini watalipa vizuri.

JK analindwa na Katiba 'bomu' ya nchi.

Ibara ya 46 ya Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania ya mwaka 1977 inaeleza kuwa katika kipindi ambacho Rais atakapokuwa madarakani, hakuna shitaka lolote linaloweza kufunguliwa dhidi yake, Ibara hiyo inaendelea kueleza kuwa hata Rais anapotoka madarakani hakuna mahakama yoyote hapa nchini yenye uwezo wa kusikiliza mashitaka yoyote dhidi yake!

Yaani Katiba ya nchi yetu imegeuza marais wetu Mungu watu!

Ibara hiyo iliondolewa kwenye Rasimu ya Katiba ya Warioba, lakini kwa mshangao mkubwa wabunge wa CCM watupu waliobaki kwenye Bunge Maalum la Katiba chini ya uandishi wa Chenge kwrnye Katiba yao pendekezwa ya mtaa wa Lumumba Ibara hiyo imerejeshwa!

Hapo ndipo wananchi watajua mantiki ya wabunge wa upinzani kuvisusia vikao hivyo vya Bunge Maalum la Katiba.

Ndiyo maana JK huyo huyo 'alimuamrisha' Jecha ayafute matokeo yote ya uchaguzi huko Zanzibar kinyume cha shetia bila hofu yoyote.

Kwa kuwa JK anajivunia kinga aliyopewa ndani ya Katiba, ambayo itamfanya hadi siku yake ya mwisho kwenye dunia hakuna mahakama yoyote hapa nchini itakayokuwa na ubavu wa kumburuza mahakamani.

Hata hivyo kwa viongozi wa dizaini hii barani Afrika kama hao akina JK, Dr Shein, Museveni, Mugabe, Nkurunziza, Kagame na Jose Kabila ambao wameweza kuzichezea Katiba za nchi zao wanavyotaka

Hata hivyo 'tumaini' jipya limeshaanza kuonekana huko Marekani, kwa mgombea wa Urais wa nchi hiyo kwa tiketi ya Republican Donald Trump, kuweka bayana kuwa iwapo wamarekani watampa ridhaa ya kuwa Rais wao kwa awamu ijayo, ataanza kuwashikisha 'adabu' viongozi hao na hatasita kuwaburuza kwenye mahakama za huko nchini Marekani.

Mkuu huwa kila nikiingia kitandani kulala namwombea Trump aupate huo Urais na asimamie maneno yake... Huyu jamaa aligeuza hii nchi kama pango la kila uchafu.. Hawa wa madawa wameanza kushughulikiwa awamu hii wakati yeye alikiri majina anayo lakini akaacha waendelee kuteketeza vijana wetu.. Alafu tukisema alishindwa kufanya chochote kwasababu mwanae alikuwa anafanya hiyo biashara wanahamaki..
