Featuring a private beach area, garden and views of garden, Mama Root is located in Kizimkazi, a few steps from Kizimkazi Mkunguni Beach. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the guest house's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax.

Absolutely amazing place unfortunately we only booked one night at the end of our trip but we would have loved to stay longer. Lovely location at the beach, very quiet and amazing to chill, super friendly staff and we loved the meals at the restaurant which are freshly homemade. Rooms were very clean and comfortable the whole place is decorated with love - we can recommend Mama Root totally!

    This place is paradise: so quiet and peaceful, with nice hosts and good equipements. Sunsets from the fishermen village of Kizimkazi are wonderful. And bonus: our hosts' cooking is amazing. I can only recommend to stay there!

    Beautiful location, loved the quirkiness of the place, so peaceful and the fire was great at night. Olivia and her husband were great hosts, helped to make husbands birthday special. Helped us with a car wash too. The food was lovely. We only stayed 2 nights on our travels but we would've stayed longer had we been able.

    Ben and his family are wonderful hosts. We had a great time at their small boutique hotel, the staff was like family and everyone was always so helpful.

    A great location - quiet, right on the beach, and within a large bay. Beautiful views from the shoreline and the garden that surrounds the hotel is very well designed and diligently tended. It provides an eden-like atmosphere. The food was delicious and very well presented by smiling, attentive, and joyous staff. As a very seasoned traveller with high expectations, our stay exceeded them in almost all areas. Zanzibar is on the up, and I would recommend going now before it becomes busy!

    a boutique hotel away from the crowds. They farm most of the food served to the guests following sustainable agriculture practices, and the guests can visit their field, farms and gardens. The romms are designed by a famous architect and the overall setting is just very charming. A lovely place, also graced by a very friendly staff

    Great location with beautiful views in quiet fishing village. Comfortable beds, huge bathroom, very clean. Beautifully maintained garden and villas. We loved the food in the restaurant, all the seafood dishes were super fresh and very tasty. Their curry and pilau were super good too. We didn't try any of meat dishes but being on Zanzibar you can't expect a wide range of them. We liked the breakfast options too. The massage I got there was amazing, I strongly recommend it. We liked the staff as well, very friendly and professional.

    Great seaside position. Tranquil thatched cabins set in lush grounds. 6 cabins ensures staff can be attentive and guests can communicate if desired with ease. Excellent swahili twist to the food. Hosts are charming and available whenever needed. Transport from Stone Town/Airport can be arranged and takes about 75 minutes. Hope to return soon!

    We have spent the first 4 nights in Zanzibar. The lodge is welcoming, clean with a beautiful garden. The beach is small but strategically positioned near the interesting fishing village of Kizimkazi . The bungalow was cleaned daily, the food and breakfast are deliciously prepared. The vibe was very relaxing but fun was never too far with the great hosts David and Sandrine and their fantastic staff which make the real difference. We truly had a great time and we will recommend to anyone who want to escape crowded and unpersonal places.
