Zanzi Resort

Zanzi resort offered a charming nice retreat in a beautiful jungle oasis. The property is very well taken care of, and nice, occasional cultural touches here and there were delightful to discover.
Our bungalow was very spacious, bed - comfortable, and water pressure was just right. TV had all international channels. Room service - fast and with a smile.
We've enjoyed our time at the jetty, pool and just walking around.
Food for us, regretfully, didn't work out. During our 3 nights stay we had a feeling that we ended up in a heaven for vegetarians and not in a coastal 5* resort. Extensive dinner cards lacked seafood and even just basic protein options were missing every night. Dishes themselves didn't offer any excitement, lots was sent back after couple of bites.
Breakfasts were so-so with lots of ambition on the menu, but lacklustre results.
Some of the advertised activities turned out to be not available despite long-standing request and confirmation of.
We didn't get to see many animals but could hear their presence around.
Hotel's team was outstanding. Everyone was attentive, caring and smiling. Nothing was too big of a bother, and the speed of service caught us by surprise every time!
I wouldn't come back to stay exclusively at Zanzi again, but I would definitely include few days here in a longer trip to Zanzibar.

It was a beautiful experience. Moreover the staffs were totally
friendly ، honest and they enjoyed professional behavior . definitely that I would repeat the trip to the resort if I traveled again to Zanzibar.

A genuine wow resort. The rooms are stunning, spacious and generally delightful and the kitchen is great.

Beautiful petite resort - just 13 villas. Great staff. Lovely food. Fabulous retreat 45 minutes north of Stone Town

Fabulous villa with private pool and access to ocean. Great food. Lovely staff. Beautiful gardens. Basically luxury without the 4 seasons faff.

Excellent, like I wanted a cozy place, really five stars, there is no entertainment, just relaxation, the impression of a large spa salon 😀

Simply put, it’s the staff that make this place what it is. They are incredibly warm and hospitable people, nothing was ever an issue; the true meaning of Hakuna Matata (a saying you’ll hear quite a lot at at Zanzi!)

On the note of food, every dish we had was completely faultless and absolutely delicious. It is clear the chef has invested a lot of time and effort in to developing the menus.

On a final note, I would highly recommend the ocean access villa. Indeed it is more expensive, but the private pool and access to the ocean was unbeatable (we stayed in both garden and ocean access villas).

Without any hesitation, Zanzi was not only ‘one of the best’ we have stayed at across our extensive travels; it was ‘THE BEST’.

One of the most beautiful private resort,the staff are very professional knowledgeable and friendly, the GM also Ms Julia and her team amazing 😍
Highly recommend this property for romantic stay, family holiday and romantic dinner. I wish I can give 7 Stars
