Client Feedback

Hi Ed

Just to say that our stay at Mapenzi hotel was fantastic. They had recently refurbished the rooms (still in the process of doing some) and our room was lovely. In fact they ended up putting us in a sea front room so it was even more special. The staff were attentive and helpful, the food was great and we thought the design of the hotel was beautiful. We thought it was really excellent value (only diminished by the terrible rate of exchange of the Euro). We don’t normally stay in all-inclusive hotels so we have nothing to compare it to, but the whole set-up seemed great to us. They even had the right channel in the TV room to watch the Ashes!

Zanzibar Palace was, of course, very special. We thoroughly enjoyed Zanzibar, and it was the perfect place after a busy time in Tanzania doing safaris and camping in the Uzungwu mountains.

Thank you for your help in organising our trip – an excellent place to go with small children.

Best wishes
Viola

Zanzibar Overview

Zanzibar is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean, if not the world. It is one of the best-kept travel secrets and remains unspoilt by mass tourism.

Zanzibar archipelago is approximately 35km off shore from the Tanzania mainland and only six degrees south of the Equator.

It is comprised of two main Islands, Unguja (also called Zanzibar Island), and Pemba, along with many smaller islands and atolls. These provide miles and miles of palm lined beaches and colourful coral reefs perfect for diving or just soaking in the laid back atmosphere.

Zanzibar has been popular throughout history with artists, musicians and poets and still captivates people to this day. The very name conjures wonderous images and evokes intrigue. find out more
