| Dear Guests,
Welcome to Pemba and the
Kervan Saray Beach website. We live on a beautiful green,
forested, coral paradise in the Indian Ocean . We invite you to
peruse our site and see whether we can tempt you into making the
journey down to Tanzania . The Kervan Saray Beach is the palace
of rest. The latest concept in Indian Ocean Island hospitality,
born from the dive company Swahili Divers, the Kervan Saray
draws upon over a decade of experience diving, anthropology and
hospitality. While this hotel is the newest in Pemba, it houses
the most experienced and long standing recognised dive centre in
Pemba. If you want to dive in Pemba, then it has to be at The
Kervan Saray. Yet we do not limit ourselves to diving. We
welcome all of you who wish to come and see our Island. We
invite you to come and relax with us. To recharge your
batteries. To kayak, to cycle, to bird watch, to walk in the
forest, to visit coastal Swahili villages and to do nothing if
you so wish.
This website has been
carefully put together to give you as true a picture of our
Island as possible. While we may have crystal clear waters and
four endemic species of birds, we are also located in one of the
poorest nations on earth. This means that your visit here really
counts. The money that you spend here goes largely into the
local community. We are an environmentally friendly eco-lodge,
well entrenched in the local community with an excellent dive
centre. But more on that in other pages… Welcome once again to
Pemba, and welcome to our fragile but quite stunning world.
