I recently spent a weekend at Butiama Camp, perfectly located in the heart of the Marine Park. The setting couldn’t be better — peaceful, scenic, and just steps from the sea. The Big Blu Diving Centre offers a wide range of activities for both divers and non-divers, making it ideal for all interests. The food was varied and delicious, and the service throughout was exceptionally attentive.

Kilindoni
Situated in Kilindoni, 7.2 km from Rufiji Mafia Kilwa Marine Reserve, Maisara Mafia Beach Lodge features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We found this lodge online and booked for 9 days. After a fantastic welcome we were offered the traditional bungalow on the beach, but could choose others that were available. The lodge is right on the beach and is a “barefoot” resort, sand right up to your veranda. We wanted to dive with the whale sharks, snorkel and scuba dive and the lodge delivered on all accounts. What really made our stay was the team, including the two Moodys (we called them the moody blues) and the wonderful team from the restaurant and boutique. Massages are also available. They all treated us like family and there was nothing they would not do to make our stay amazing. All our diving and snorkeling trips were organised, and we could add all the costs to our account and pay on departure. The whale sharks were amazing and the island snorkeling and beach BBQ incredible. We also ate on the beach in front of a beach fire. The fishing boats are right in front of you. There are also two resident black cats (Vladimir) who added to our family experience. Hassan, the owner, was very discreet, super friendly and professional leaving his team to happily look after us. Mafia is a small island, very laid back, and these guys do not have mass tourism, they just made our stay amazing. Well done!

I had a wonderful stay at Mgeni Homestay, with both Ally, the owner, and Bunda, the home caretaker, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the house is centrally located in Kilindoni and close to the beach. I would recommend Mgeni to those who are traveling, either alone or in groups, and are looking for a budget and authentic homestay option.
The host, the location, the hospitality and the positive attitude of Mussa
Amazing stay at Butiama Marine camp. For those visiting Mafia, would 100% recommend. Its location right on the beach is unmatched, excellent breakfasts and dinners, and fantastic staff. If you’re looking to dive, would recommend Mafia Island diving. Staff were much friendlier than those at Big Blu (dive shop at marine camp).
Wonderful and very helpful staff. Spacy and very clean rooms. Great pool and a nice restaurant on site.
The staff was magnificent, kind, and attentive. The facilities are new and beautiful. The pool was perfect to relax in and cool off. The location is centrally located, we even walked to and from the airport. They called for transportation to scuba diving and whale shark tours. The food was excellent and plentiful. We ate all our meals there for 6 days. And the staff was wonderful. All 5 of us in our group, after a month of traveling, highly recommend Mafia Dream
Nice location
It's located right at the beach with beautiful sunset views. Unfortunately, this time of the year there was a lot of seaweed (and rubbish) washed up on the shore, it's still pretty though. The outdoor seating area is ideal for a sundowner, beer and soft drinks are sold at good prices. Food served was good. The staff is really friendly and helpful, you can book activities with Mussa as well. The room itself is clean, and has a nice seating area in front. Drinking water, coffee and tea are available free of charge all day long.
Nice people, good location, nice food (although not many choices if you dont eat seafood), spacious bungalows, affordable great tour with whalesharks
I stayed in a tent which was quite comfortable even with light, fan, power outlet and a locker. The location is perfect for diving and on a budget. Nice restaurants to eat nearby at the beach. The manager Simon is always friendly. Loved the lounge area as well and everything was very clean. Would come back here.
