The ultimate escape for couples, families and nature lovers, Mumbo Island Camp finds itself in the midst of a real natural paradise on the otherwise deserted Mumbo Island. The island has never been populated by humans, and consequently remains in an incredibly pristine state. Days here are dedicated to experiencing the best of what nature has to offer, from kayaking around granitic islands to enjoying some of the best freshwater snorkelling and diving (featuring hundreds of colourful cichlid fish) the planet has to offer.

Made entirely out of canvas, reed, thatch and timber, the tiny camp blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The property can accommodate just fourteen guests in seven individual safari tents, built in and among natural boulders and fitted with shaded viewing decks, hammocks, ‘eco-loos’ and hot bucket showers. In keeping with the property’s ‘green’ ethos, the tents have been decorated almost exclusively with objects either locally sourced or handmade on-site by local craftsmen.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. 91³Ô¹Ï were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with 91³Ô¹Ï – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
