Hotel Mangrove Lodge
Mawimbini Beach, Chuini, Zanzibar City, Tanzania – Great location - show map
The couple owner both they deserve high recommendation...

The staff are very helpful and nice, I still remember Sherif , Khalifa and others there. Very quite with high privacy. It’s not faraway from the ferry station.

All the staff was wonderful and very accommodating. The rooms are very spacious and perfect for relaxing.

The food is absolutely amazing !!! Staff was amazing !!! Food was delicious ! Owners very nice people 😃made us feel confortable all the time !

It is a beautiful, authentically Zanzibari lodge that is run by wonderful staff, serves delicious food and is perfectly remote and secure. I loved my time here and would highly recommend it to others visiting Zanzibar. Time slows down at Mangrove Lodge and stress doesn't exist.

The two managers (he is Zanzibarite and she is Italian) are just great. They explained me everything about Zanzibar history, culture and politics. Really fascinating. Just 10' walking along the beach there is a fascinating fish market where local fishermen sells the fish just got. Highly recommended!

Cosy, family driven lodge with a human touch, very helpful and friendly owners, they support the nearby community, eco friendly

Our accommodations were lovely, clean and very private. It rained quite a bit while we were there which added to the coziness and relaxed atmosphere. We were able to sit in the large swing and read together as we listened to the rain around us. The owners, Marina and Hajji, made us feel very welcome as did all of the staff. I had a wonderful massage from two local women and it was a dream. Thank you to you all of making our stay so special!

This is a gem of a hotel. Marina and Hajji are talented and gracious hosts. The decor has touches of real genius. The food and cocktails are presented with warmth and style. And the small peaceful beach is a blessing, especially when contrasted with the tourist hustle elsewhere on the island.

I loved the way the owners Haji and his wife were involved and made all the guests feel welcome. We had a great time here. Thanks
