Client Feedback

Happy New Year to you! I just thought I'd email you to give you some feedback on our honeymoon and the places we stayed. We had a fantastic honeymoon and really loved Zanzibar.

Saadani Lodge - we really liked this place. The honeymoon lodge was lovely, so quiet and secluded and in a great position right on the beach. The food was great and the staff were lovely (they were also a bit help with trying to locate Seb's lost luggage which had unfortunately been left in London and only arrived 4 days later!) The only bad thing we would have to say about it is that we weren't overly impressed with the actual safaris. We didn't see as many animals as we had hoped but then we realise that this is a smaller safari park and the plus side of that is that it was very quiet and you never saw any other tour groups whilst you were out on the game drives. But overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

The Palms - By far the favourite part of our honeymoon! We absolutely loved it here. The villa, location, food and service were all fantastic and we really couldn't fault the place. It was worth the money we spent to stay here and we will definitely return!

Serena Inn - This place was fine. They actually upgraded us the the presidential suite which was nice of them, however the room wasn't as grand as we had maybe expected! After the Palms the next place was always going to have a hard act to follow but it was fine. The only really criticism is that breakfast wasn't very nice. We didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening so can't comment on this. Drinks here were also quite overpriced. We did a day boat trip with them on New Years Day to Prisoner Island which was great though and we would highly recommend.

Just a note that the Fusion Lounge which we went to on New Years Eve wasn't very good! We had a good night but the restaurant was very quiet and the food wasn't tht nice! We stayed for dinner but went back to Serena Inn before midnight as there was a much better atmosphere there! The following night we ate at an Indian restaurant called Spice Rendez-vous which was excellent and definitely a good one for future recommendations.


On a final note - Zanzibar Unique were excellent. Christine in the office was extremely helpful. We changed the times of all of our transfers and they were extremely accommdating and we were really impressed with their service. All the transfers and flights went to plan. Overall a fantastic honeymoon and thanks so much for all your efforts with the organisation!

Kind regards
