Indian Ocean Islands
Safaris of wonderment

After the excitement and adventure of an African safari, there is no better way to reflect and rejuvenate than by retreating to the Indian Ocean islands of Africa. While the world offers countless beautiful beaches—from Bali to the Caribbean—what sets Africa apart is the chance to extend the safari journey seamlessly from the bush to the sea.

At The Myers Portfolio, we don’t sell trips. We curate scarcity. The world doesn’t fall in love with scale—it falls in love with stories, with places that cannot be replicated. Islands such as Mnemba off Zanzibar, Benguerra in Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, or Nosy Be and the Masoala Peninsula in Madagascar are rare, culturally fluent experiences that travellers revere and memory preserves. Scarcity is the new luxury. We help our clients live it.

These islands are more than a beach escape; they are a continuation of the African story. Coral reefs teem with marine life found nowhere else, tropical forests shelter lemurs and chameleons, and untouched coastlines host turtles and nesting seabirds. Each moment connects you to Africa’s natural endemism, extending the safari’s sense of wonder into a new realm.

Our hand-picked lodges and private villas embrace light-footprint luxury, prioritising space, silence, and sustainability. Guests are invited to move at their own pace: snorkel pristine reefs, set sail on a dhow at sunset, indulge in wellness rituals, or simply pause on a private stretch of sand where the horizon belongs only to you.

These islands are the perfect bookend to safari balancing adventure with renewal, while keeping travellers rooted in Africa’s extraordinary warm informal hospitality, landscapes and species. They are places to dream of once, and return to again and again.
