    Paradise.

    Paradise. Very long and large beach, friendly local people, very calm and quite place. We loved it. Its very save even in the nightwalks on the beach. There are some restaurants, coffee places where you can drink fresh, cocktails or snacks.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.

    I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.

    Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

    We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour and dinner. The beach has much more of a relaxed feel than Nungwi, which seemed more like a place for young people to get drunk whereas Kiwengwa was more families and laid-back properties.

    Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage. Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.

    My wife and I stayed at this hotel in August 2023. We enjoyed almost everything, except for the tides, but they're pretty much everywhere except the busy beaches of Zanzibar, which we didn't want to go to. About the hotel: it's secluded, peaceful, with stunning nature and sunrises. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is attentive, and the restaurant serves delicious food. Funny nocturnal creatures similar to lemurs also visited the restaurant.

    Maybe the best location in Zanzibar. Kiwengwa has many restaurants and long beach with access. Having a rental car, we had the opportunity to explore most of the island and be able to compare. Best staff (management, cooking, cleaning, safety) Big house with 3 bedrooms and toilets, sea front, amazing view We enjoyed our dinners at the villa, all problems with water, internet, A/C and tree fall were immediately solved

    Almost private pool, there are just 2 or 3 rooms and you get to have a pool and a beautiful garden in which you can chill and enjoy nature. The restaurant offers one of the most genuine and tasty dishes we had in Zanzibar and everything is fresh (the owner gets the fish and the lobsters straight from the fisherman at the beach!). The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff is so friendly and kind.

    The local staff were great, the rooms were spacious, we liked how comfortable the beach area was (hammocks, beach chairs,…). Since the hotel is located at the southern tip of Kiwengwa beach, there are less people walking on the beach trying to sell things. Also nice that the hotel is in walking distance of other places along the beach (kite surfing, restaurants,…)

    best hotel/resort I’ve stayed in, staff soo friendly and professional. they think of everything. It was summed up by our final night on this Zanzibar trip, we were the last people having dinner at the Jetty restaurant, one of the staff members on the golf buggy knew somehow we were the last and drove to meet us, it saved my wife a long walk in her heels.

    I stayed in la base for 5 and the experience has been great. The place is really clean and comfortable. The restaurant is located right in front of the beach so you'll definitely have a relaxing time while enjoying your meal and drinks. Thanks to the hosts Cris and Luca. They were really cool. This place is a must when you're in kiwengwa.

    From a service perspective, the staff at Moja Tuku are superb. They went all out to ensure that my family and I were well taken care off. Meshack, the concierge, assisted us with booking tours and introduced us to Ben, a local tour operator with a heart of Gold. Thanks to Meshack and Ben, we got see and experience the best of Zanzibar.
