Kiwengwa, Kiwengwa, Tanzania –

Lock in a great price for Marafiki Bungalows – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The food was great. We stayed at the honeymoon suite which was airy, spacious and offered great privacy. Service was also good and found everyone very warm. The view is amazing too. It's a well planned property with enough variety of flora too. There is no AC or ceiling fan but we were getting a direct ocean breeze because of the location of our Villa, so it was still enjoyable. I personally enjoyed the company of the cats at various spots too :)

Nikita, India

Staff was very friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast had limited options but it was very nicely presented and food was delicious!

Gaurav, United Arab Emirates

Excellent facilities and quiet spot to relax away from it all.

Johan, Saudi Arabia

The property is beautiful and our room was very spacious. All the staff was very kind and helpful. The pool was large and overlooked the ocean. The food in the restaurant was excellent and very reasonably priced.

Barba, United States of America

Beautiful setting, great staff, good food. Nice, clean, comfortable bungalows.

John, Canada

Spacious rooms, friendly staff, good food, right on the beach with free kayaking, snorkelling and bicycles available . There was no AC in the room; one of the waitresses was unhelpful, but all in all a pleasant stay.

Natasha, India

The room was well set out and a good size. The food and cocktails were very good. Some of the staff were very friendly and everyone was polite. There is not a lot to do there but a 20 min walk along the beach leads you to nice beaches and more bars and restaurants.
