Yussuf and his team are great and the lodge is really beautiful. It's very quiet, perfect for everyone who doesn't need a lot of people. We enjoyed the hammock, the beach and the nice atmosphere a lot.

This is a very new place focussing on diving excursions with two very well equipped cabins. It is situated in the beautiful marine park area where scuba diving is exceptional. The area is not overrun by tourists and the cabin is a very cosy and restful place. Enjoy one of the evening cocktails, prepared by the friendly staff or relax at the poolside. The small resort arranges shuttle service to and from the airport.

Kimulimuli Green Heaven

Hotel in Kilindoni

A good location for a hassle-free holiday in Kilindoni, Kimulimuli Green Heaven is a campground surrounded by views of the garden.

We stayed in the Bungalow with Sea View at Kimulimuli Green Heaven, and everything was absolutely perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable, but the true highlight was the incredible outdoor bathroom built around a baobab tree. Being surrounded by nature while showering was unforgettable – genuinely the most beautiful bathroom I’ve ever seen. The entire hotel is new, and you can feel how much heart and love Antonia and Hamisi have poured into it. Breakfast was delicious and served with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Antonia and Hamisi were also amazing in helping us organize activities on the island, such as whale shark excursions and scuba diving. Whenever we needed anything, they were there for us. The beach is only a 1-2 minute walk away and looks like pure paradise.

Palm House & Restaurant is a must stay! The place is really beautifully decorated, the staff is friendly and accommodating, food is delicious, and it is located pretty well close to Utende and the beach. We stayed for 4 nights and would definitely go back.

It is a beautiful place, a lot of activities - daily excursions (staff even tried to organize it just for us), diving (different reefs), snorkeling, massages, everything. Food is amazing, prices are reasonable. Very peaceful, nice, calm and great send camp. Staff was also amazing, we were three young girls, felt safe and really enjoyed our last days of Tanzania.

We cannot fault this wonderful lodge in any way; the staff and management are incredible. We arrived as guests and left as friends. The food is absolutely delicious; scrumptious breakfasts and the 4-course dinners are amazing. Cannot rate this wonderful establishment high enough. The rooms are huge, and the rim pool overlooking the sea is wonderful. Will definitely be back.

Some nice different options for various tours in the marine park. Not really a beach there, and the little sand available is occupied by working fisherman; either side is mangrove. There is a sandbar further out you can visit. Better to stay outside to avoid the marine fees and only pay them when you need to enter it as nicer beaches elsewhere.

KItu KIblu is very close to KIlidoni and the airport (5 minutes walking, if with a backpack no need for a taxi). Centre is 15 minutes either by the beach or bay the main road; not great choice of restaurants and better going by night, it's safe and people are very friendly. Don't forget to say hello (mambo) to all men (women seem not appropriate, probably due to muslim religion) and shake your arm to children at the front door, they will repay with a great smile!! By the beach experience the fisherman village to south and back to town by the jungle, there are a lot of small villages with friendly people. Otherwise tuktuk is a good mean to move along the island until Chole, to north (nice beaches) better take a taxi. Pay attention at the road to Ras kisimani, beach is wonderful but very tough to get there. When in Utende I strongly recommend Pamela beach for a lunch or dinner; she's great and let you experience local food.

Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time.

Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time. Still underdeveloped with not too many locals handling foreign languages but nice people. A lot of chinese low key staff in the boutiques but sometimes quite pricey. Even the beer is cheaper in Europe ! Kilindoni is the main spot and if you don't find a certain thing here , you won't be able to find it on the other part of the island. Island still lacks promotion ( advertising ) and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find those T shirts with Mafia logo or saying something about the island. I went there for diving - and it turned out to be the most expensive one I had in whole my life - so resume to whale shark watching.until the government change its mind and stops screwing tourists. ( I hope this will happen in the future ). Regarding the diving: I'm an instructor so can lay down a professional thought: good but not outstanding as they brag ... and not worth the money.
