We stayed at the Dhow for 2 nights and were in love with the place: excellent location at Nungwi beach - far from the noise of other hotels which makes you feel like you are on a private beach; delicious breakfasts and other meals for very reasonable prices; sea shore line; stylish design and use of nature to make it stand out; spacious rooms; and of course the owner of the hotel who makes everyone feel welcome and cared for. If we ever come back to Zanzibar, we will definitely book there again.

Everything was excellent, as soon as I’ve crossed the gate to African Bungalow’s, I knew this bungalows have something special. Firstly I came across the owner and I’ve already felt extremely welcomed and well taken care of. All staff working there is super nice, helpful, kind and smiley. Rooms are spacious, very clean, all of them have terrace. Mine specially had pool view (if I’m not mistaken all of them are in front of the pool), so you can enter the pool straight from your terrace which is great. Fact that bungalows have pool is amazing as it gives you a chance to rest a bit from sometimes busy beach around. Walk to the beach is like 2 minutes which is huge advantage of that place also. In general location is perfect. Breakfast is excellent. Amenities in the room are great, AC works perfectly! I’m really grateful to come across this bungalows as it gave me lovely memories! I can highly recommend this place and I promise, you don’t regret staying there. I’m sure I will come back here next time :)

This cozy beachside resort offers a peaceful, serene escape with exceptional service. The owner, Loay, is incredibly hospitable and always available on WhatsApp to attend to any needs including your meal order, excursion plans etc. (I have yet to see this service at another resort). Rufina, the friendly and attentive waitress, made every meal enjoyable. Unlike other resorts, this one has fewer hawkers, allowing for a more relaxed experience. It’s the perfect spot for relaxation, with a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

A magical place in Zanzibar. Everything was beautiful and perfectly thought out in every detail. The hotel has a charming, boutique feel – definitely more so than a typical resort. The breakfasts were delicious and fresh, and the wide, sandy beach is a true paradise – one of the most beautiful on the entire island, perfect for long, peaceful walks. We visited both Clove hotels – the one in Makunduchi also left a very good impression on us.

    We did a city tour, and it was informative. The unpaved streets, and all the dust and dirt was a problem with our sinuses. The people was friendly, and we understand they have to be a little pushy in order to make a living.

    Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

    The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

    This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.

    Michamvi is good for relaxing and enjoying . There are few vendors and they are not disturbing you and friendly. We stayed 25 days at Kikoi Boutique Resort and arranged all excursions on Zanzibar as well as a Safari with Sir Alex at Kikoi for reasonable prices and with good service . Their Cook Mister Mahaveer Sing is a real Master Chef and we enjoyed every meal he prepared us . Compliments to all the people working there. You made our stay unfogettable.
