What a guest said
Zanzibar- and Whale shark -Retreat
"What an amazing experience. I was part of the group that traveled with Sharon Makana to Zanzibar and Mafia. It was the perfect trip. We swam with the dolphins in secluded spots every time we went out on the ocean. We also saw the whale sharks many times and accompanied these phenomenal creatures in the water, sometimes for half an hour, side by side. And not only that! Very comfortable and beautiful places we stayed at and extremely friendly people that took care of us. I've traveled Asia extensively but the level of hospitality we experienceds here was unparalleled. So many exciting activities. From boat trips to sandbanks with sea stars, to Oman ruins, learning to play the drums and dance to the African rhythms with the locals to the most amazing sunrises and sunsets, it was a journey without a single organisational flaw, thanks to Sharon and her perfect local team. And beyond all that a deep spiritual experience, that matches the riches and delights of what we experienced around the inner workspace. Many thanks for everything you gave us!" (Jörg Hoffmann)

A dream comes true!!
We get to stay at the Eco- Lodge, run by a kind Swiss woman and her African husband. It's located on a private beach and we will have the whole place to ourselves. We will be able to fully immerse into our group process. Romantic bungalows with a fantastic ocean view will be our nests. The kitchen is an open outdoor space. There is NO ELECTRICITY! We have oil lanterns in the rooms and we can charge our phones once a day with solar pannels. It is a very simple accommodation embedded in pure nature beauty. We can go for endless walks along the white sand beaches, sit next to the fire places or enjoy the sound of the wind in the coconut palm trees. The sound of the ocean will rock you to sleep and you'll wake up to the sounds of the monkeys.
If you can handle simple (like cold water showers) and are ready for peaceful beauty and silence, then this is the place for you to be.
The local food is great, colorful and flavorful and prepared with much love and devotion.

How did we get so lucky?
We get to stay at this beautiful secluded place that has a lush tropical garden, white sandy path to the pool area, an outdoor retreat space and beautiful single rooms with shower and hot water! What a luxury ! The power doesn't always work and the wi-fi has it's ups and downs. But other than that, our accommodation is a dream. We are treated like kings and queens by the local staff, who is devoted to making our stay very special. We have grown fond of each other and we create a loving vibe of family amongst eachother. They are most happy everytime we come, because they know, that we are grateful and happy people who can appreciate a paradise and the loving care of our hosts. The locals are incredibly warm hearted, generous and welcoming people. At night, on the way to our rooms we walk under a million stars. The place is very quiet, filled only with laughter from guests and staff, animal sounds and the wind blowing through tha leaves of the palm trees.

A very special treat

Whale sharks are incredibly magical and powerful beings, gentle giants of the ocean. There are very few places in the world, where you can swim with them and most of them are not recommended, because the whale sharks are not treated respectfully. So this is a very unique experience.
The island itself is very local, no mainstream tourism, as African as it gets. The people are most welcoming and very openminded and friendly, a vibe that I often miss in Europe. Everyone waves at you when you drive by on the Boda Boda or Tuktuk and is most happy to talk to you. The marine life here in the protected marine national park is incredible, there are very few places in the world where you can still see such a huge variety of species and healthy corals.
During this retreat it is possible to go diving as well (not included in the price) and non certified divers can do a discovery dive and explore the underwater world. You will love it. It's a dream!
