Cozy private villa in Fukuchani
Fukuchani Inn is wonderful - the staff is pleasant, kind, and very willing to help with whatever you might need. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful stay. The Inn is right near the ocean, a quick little walk to a beautiful (albeit rocky) beach, and it's very close (about 15 mins) from Nungwi beach. And the pool is lovely! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Villa and it was perfect for my family, plenty of space and very clean. And of course I have to mention Daisy, the basset hound!! Such a friendly and good girl :) We would love to come back one day - overall, great stay :) Friendly reminder to travelers, Tanzania and Zanzibar often have power outages, and this includes A/C - but they only lasted a few mins each time, and the staff aims to provide as comfortable a stay as possible.

Villa Heidi at beach with pool - Zanzibar
Stayed 9 nights with my husband (June 2025). Great communication. Got collected at the airport by Suileman (sorry if spelling is wrong!)..we had a hire car so husband followed us behind..would be very hard to find otherwise. We were greeted by Said and Josephine with fresh coconuts... the house is just like the photos. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful gardens and clean pool with incredible views. Incredibly clean..bedrooms were gorgeous as was the bathrooms. Everything you may need was included. Staff were so helpful. Said took my husband out to show us where to buy bread. There are 2 local supermarkets...very expensive and mostly sold UK products! Air-conditioning upstairs but not down..I was incredibly hot. There are fans but still humid and hot. All in all..a fantastic holiday. The beach by villa isn't the best..very rocky..but beautiful views from patio area. Watch out for bugs and lizards.. but that's Africa! A truly memorable holiday. We will return one day. Easy 5 stars.

Luxury Oceanfront Villa with Private Pool
My stay at this beautiful property in Zanzibar was incredible. The house is truly a dream—spacious, elegant, and equipped with all the amenities you could wish for. The multiple terraces provide breath taking views, perfect for enjoying both sunrise and sunset, while the private pool and gardens offer the ultimate space to unwind. There is a very special feature in this property that is a private access to the ocean. It gives you your own slice of paradise. The house is wonderfully private, making it ideal for a peaceful retreat, yet it’s close enough to explore Zanzibar’s many attractions. The host is exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every need is met. Her warmth, attention to detail, and local tips made the experience unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for luxury, tranquility, and a touch of magic in Zanzibar

Mwendawima Villa - Beach house with private chef
Absolutely loved our stay here, the home was exactly like the photos if not better, we were welcomed with them most helpful, hands on, amazing staff. The location as well was perfect right on the beach and close to everywhere in Jambiani, would recommend this place if you are planning to come to Zanzibar !!

Villa Meravigliosa a Zanzibar
Our stay in Uroa was wonderful. Emanuele put us in touch with his property manager who helped us with everything from airport transfers, setting up tours and even getting some medicine when some of our family came down with the flu. Uroa is a little bit remote in terms of amenities but that is what we were looking for. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance on the beach but not much more than that. We enjoyed walking the beach every day, swimming and wading out to the sand bar at low tide. There are also people/companies on the beach if you want to setup snorkeling tours or watersports. The caretaker and the housekeeper do a wonderful job keeping up the property and the housekeeper even made a few meals for us with the groceries we bought in Stonetown! The house was beautiful and in good repair. Beds were good and the pool was great to relax in. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay, just what we needed at the end of our trip to Tanzania!

Family Villa.
Dejlig villa med pool og udendørs område. Alt var super og Rashid er meget god til at sørge for os. Kan være lidt varmt på værelserne om natten. Men det glemmer man så snart solen står op og man dypper sig i havet ☺️ Kan komme kun anbefale stedet 100% ☺️

Villa Shepherd Zanzibar
Die Villa ist mit sie sehr viel Stil und Liebe eingerichtet. Die Besitzerin Patrizia sehr hilfsbereit und wirklich stilvoll. Die Gemälde an der Wand, die Bettwäsche aus Italien, die Details in der Villa und dann der Koch, der denn noch das Frühstück vorbereitet – es ist einfach nur zum Wohl fühlen und super!

The Solar House - (y)our green home in the city
The solar house very quickly became our second home over the 7 months we stayed there. We were beyond thankful for Damian, Anna, and their precious children who were extremely kind, helpful, available and attentive. The solar house is an ideal location for families. Our two young children loved the home and the compound and it was within walking distance of their school. The solar house is a bright and welcoming home - and it has smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detector which are nearly non-existent in Mwanza! We highly recommend this house for short or long term stays. We hope very much to be back! Asante sana Damian, Sam & Ina!

Mango house with a lake View
Awesome spot to stay for a few days in Kigoma. Wonderful view and your host is super responsive and has some solid tips for the town and Gombe National Park

Cozy Brick House
Gracias Martin por haberme alojado tan precipitadamente y con solo horas de antelación . La casa es muy especial y grande. La chimenea es genial y el proyector útil, aunque yo no llegue a utilizarlo. David fue genial a la hora de recibirnos y de explicarnos los detalles de la casa, además de proporcionarnos Acura embotellada y pan. Está bien ubicado a 8’ de la avenida principal. Espero poder volver

Villa Nyumbani
2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

Paradies Garden Best spot at the beach! OutsideBed
Das Anwesen ist super schön. Durch den grossen Garten hat man seine Privatsphäre und ist trotzdem in der Nähe von Restaurants und Aktivitäten. Am besten war das Aussenbett ❤️ mit einem wahnsinns Blick über Strand und Ozean. Wir haben viel Zeit auch dem Balkon verbracht und einfach genossen. Rama und Tatu haben sich liebevoll um uns gekümmert und bei Fragen sofort reagiert 😊 Für alle die gerne etwas Ruhe haben möchten aber trotzdem mitten drin sein möchten absolut empfehlenswert

Nature's Haven: Ilboru Hideaway
Ilboru Hideaway is a beautiful home in a place of outstanding natural beauty. If you want to escape modern-life stress and strain this is the place for you! Key and family always responsive, flexible, and dedicated to make it the best experience possible for their guests. Fabulous.

Casa di Lilli - appartamento Mango
Casa di Lilli är en pärla! Vår vistelse i Elisabettas vackra hus överträffade alla våra förväntningar. Läget är fantastiskt! Det är ett riktigt strandhus med en underbar altan och fantastisk vy över strand och hav. Ett perfekt ställe där vi kunde varva ner, koppla av och bada i det underbara havet. Huset är vackert och genomtänkt inrett, väl omhändertaget och mycket rent. Bra kök och köksredskap om man vill laga egen mat. Flera bra och trevliga restauranger finns precis bredvid. Under hela vistelsen blev vi oerhört väl omhändertagna av Theresa, en underbar kvinna som gjorde rent och fint för oss och alltid fanns tillgänglig om vi behövde något, tack för din omsorg! Ett stort tack till Abdul för din hjälp att arrangera saker för oss och fixa det vi behövde hjälp med, samt trevliga och informativa samtal! Tack Elisabetta för att vi fick bo i ditt underbara hus och för en genomgående mycket god kommunikation! Vi önskar att vi någon gång kommer tillbaka till detta paradis. Tack!

Kukaa - Green Charm

Wakushi House with sea view, authentic, quiet
We loved loved loved our stay at Wakushi house. Rebecca and Amani were so helpful and sweet people to be around and their place is just amazing. It is simply beautiful and very airy which is important on such a hot island. But it was the little details that stood out- fresh flowers, self-colored towels and handmade soap (which you can also purchase as a souvenir). Rebecca was also super helpful to arrange some trips and even took me to her yoga class. This might have been my best Airbnb-find ever!

Nature Retreat - Bibi's Cottage new listing
Merci infiniment pour ce séjour absolument fantastique, bien au delà de toutes nos espérances. Tout est incroyablement parfait. Une introduction magique pour notre voyage Tanzanie. Nous avons ressenti les meilleures vibrations chez Lesley. Si chaleureux, accueillant, un entretien parfait, plusieurs touches attentionnées... cela fait extrêmement plaisir et très appréciable. Merci à Lesley et tous les gens qui l'entourent et aussi les 4 chiens d'amours qui ont accueilli si chaleureusement chez eux. Mille merci. Nous espérons revenir ici lors d'un prochain séjour en Tanzanie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The waterfront Staycation
Me and my friends had such an amazing experience as our first time in zanzibar and staying at the waterfront staycation. The host Mundhir was the best!! He was so helpful and responsive and gave us everything we needed. His staff was amazing as well, the cook and our breakfast meals were always something to look forward to! From groceries and ordering food to even providing shisha and a trusted driver James! The accomodation was very comfortable and spacious and the pool was great. The only to keep in mind is that the area is secluded from the city but great for a relaxing staycation. Thank you so much to Mundhir and the team, wonderful experience and 10/10 would highly recommend!

Villa Azura
Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in der Villa! Die Unterkunft war sauber, gut ausgestattet und hat all unsere Erwartungen erfüllt. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Freundlichkeit der Besitzer und die Hilfsbereitschaft des Hauswarts, der jederzeit höflich und zuverlässig zur Seite stand. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

The Hondo Hondo House, Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania
Stayed here for one night and were very happy. Very friendly people, nice accomodation in a beautiful neighborhood. :)

Beachfront Bliss in Zanzibar
Cette villa est un vrai bijou ! Perchée face à la mer, elle offre une vue à couper le souffle — impossible de s’en lasser, on restait littéralement hypnotisés par le paysage. La piscine avec vue directe sur l’océan est un vrai bonheur, et l’accès à une plage calme et paisible rend l’endroit encore plus magique. Un véritable havre de paix ! Notre chambre, en face de la mer, était juste splendide — réveils avec vue, moments de sérénité, parfait. Un immense merci à David, toujours hyper accueillant, disponible et réactif (tu sais qu’on n’oubliera pas ton aide, vraiment 🙏). Mention spéciale aussi au chef : les plats étaient délicieux, et c’est un vrai plus quand on veut juste profiter à fond de la villa sans avoir à bouger. Excellent rapport qualité/prix ! Tout est spacieux, bien pensé, et l’ambiance qui s’en dégage est incroyablement apaisante. On repart avec des étoiles plein les yeux ✨ — Fati

Nyumba Ndoto, Dream house with unreal views
