Chole Mjini:

Chole Mjini is a lodge set in the baobab trees on the island of Chole at the Southern tip of Mafia offering a wild and rugged Robinson Crusoe kind of experience. This treehouse lodge is like a bush camp by the sea where instead of game viewing, the days here are filled with walking, sailing, diving and exploring the forests and villages of Mafia, the least developed of the three main islands on the coast of Tanzania. The lodge features a dining area overlooking the small harbour, an upstairs bar with sweeping views and a downstairs lounge area which has a wide range of games, magazines, reference books and novels for the use of the guests. Accommodation is offered in six treehouses which each have splendid views to the North of all of Chole Bay and the forests beyond, and one luxurious suite on the ground. Each treehouse has a shower, with both hot and cold water, and its own dry composting toilet, situated at the base of the tree in it's own private garden. The "groundhouse" has an ensuite bathroom with a sunken, Persian bath, flush toilet and a large private garden especially for those who cannot or do not want to live in a tree.
