Located on the edge of a small rocky cliff with stunning views over the Indian Ocean out to Mnemba Island, The Zanzibari is set in lush and tropical gardens.

I loved the fact that there was a private beach so we were not haggled by people trying to sell us many things. The pool was clean and warm and had a fantastic view of the ocean. The staff are absolutely superb! Nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond to meet your needs. It was my husband's birthday and they made him a cake and we had a special dinner on the beach. We absolutely loved our stay at the Zanzibari.

The staff were all so friendly and accommodating to our large group of 8 people. We all loved our stay and the activities on offer.

    Very clean and very relaxed feeling. The owner was lovely and helped us with everything. It’s a 20 minute walk to the beaches but for the price absolutely amazing. The design of the whole place is also beautiful.

    Lovely smallish boutique hotel on the beach. We had an ocean view room with amazing views. There were always sunbeds available. Pool was nice. Restaurants served good food. Breakfast was really nice with both buffet and a la carte with several great options to order.

    Perfect, stylish boutique hotel with artistic touches close to the beach in a modern, yet local, architectural idiom, with excellent staff, delicious breakfasts, amazing monthly African dinner/show, and warm, lovely hosts.

    Gorgeous boutique hotel a 15 min walk from the Nungwi beach! Tanya was super helpful prior to our trip making recommendations and helping us coordinate plans for our friends birthday. The property is an oasis amidst the blistering heat of Nungwi with lots of plants, and an amazing swimming pool. All the staff on site are incredibly helpful and friendly, and so are the other guests! Loved everything about our stay
