Zanzi Resort

The location of zanzi Resort is truly magical, set in the jungle we saw monkeys, huge centipedes, bush babies, exotic birds. The room was simply gorgeous with African style art carved directly into the brick work and plenty of space. It was a huge bonus to us that we were able to order food and drinks to any location around the resort - there are telephones for this purpose - for no extra cost. We ate at the beach and had a private birthday dinner on the pier. This was a real highlight of our whole trip, with Masaai staff performing a song and dance for us. My partner really enjoyed diving from the pier into the sea during the day and I loved being able to use the stairs to get straight into the ocean. The beach was perfect, although we were only on it at high tide. Breakfast was phenomenal, definitely order the Swahili breakfast and Swahili cardamom pancakes! But the best part might have to be the staff. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel really at home with friendly conversation. The bar man (I think he is the food and drinks manager called? Kashimi?) was lovely and very informative about the cocktails. The star of the show was Nivot who was completely engaged and engaging. We had some great chats and he always showed a lot of tact and respect in navigating our questions and gauging when we needed space and when we wanted input. I really can't express how great Nivot was, give the man a raise!! All in all a really perfect end to our zanzibar adventure, we would highly recommend.

The food off the lunch menu was fine, but could have been better considering the price.

Zanzi Resort is the most remarkable place I have visited during my stay in Zanzibar. It is located in a remote area of the island (but not far from the airport) and it offers all the privacy and seclusion from civilisation that one could ever hope for. The facilities are exquisite and the ambience of the place is absolutely unique. It's a gem!

perfect stay. staff were excellent, Mudi, Khamis and their teams were very accommodating.

Everything was amazing, thank you.
