Pole Pole Resort is the perfect Romantic Getaway, the ideal place for a romantic honeymoon package on Mafia Island off the coast of Tanzania.

Mafia is a remote small wooded island accessible only by plane, best from Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar or other parts of Tanzania via Dar.

There are flights every day, but be warned the aircraft is small, perhaps only 16 seats and it isn’t for the faint hearted. After landing on a grass airstrip on Mafia it is still a further hour by jeep.

Pole Pole as a vacation destination which is off the beaten track immediately means that only like minded souls tend to go there, plus a good sprinkling of honeymoon couples post safari, because it really is a romantic honeymoon getaway more than anything else.

Pole Pole in Swahili means literally ‘ take it easy’ and that is exactly what you will do when you are here. In East Africa you get used to noise and bustle, hassle and delays, children begging for money.

At Pole Pole Lodge there is none of this. What you get is peace and tranquillity, and lots of sunshine. Not a sign of a dusty road, just a beach.
