Marafiki Bungalows is located on the beach in Kiwengwa,overlooking the ocean.Zanzibar International Airport is a 1 hour drive away.

The rooms are housed in traditional bungalow units, featuring local Zanzibari architecture and dried palm leaves for roofing. The furniture is locally crafted and the interiors are complemented with ocean-coloured overlays created using traditional looms.

We purposely did not want a big corporate hotel for this part of our trip. We wanted a more authentic feeling and this was perfect.

    Out stay at Pongwe Lodge was amazing. Such a well thought out space, absolutely stunning. Everything about the place was faultless. Our room was superb with a view to die for. The food was top quality but the best thing about the Lodge was the staff. They could not be more helpful and everything that they did, they did with a smile on their faces. I could not recommend the Lodge highly enough. We will definitely return!

    The hotel has a beautiful tropical garden, and a very nice and quiet beach near to it. The room was basic but comfortable, with nice view to the garden. The staff is really nice. I appreciate that I could stay longer in the room on my last day, as my flight was late in the evening, that helped a lot. It’s not a luxury hotel, but still a beautiful place to stay and relax. The area is quiet, so only come here, if you want to relax only.

    The property is amazing. There are birds nests all over, the pool has cool water and the view over the bay is breathtaking. The property manager, Ali, but also all the staff( Clarice, Eddiec the Chef ) were so warm and they attended to our every need. It was like a family away from home. The room were cleaned every day and ther sprayed with insecticides for the mosquitos every evening. The food at the restaurant was simple and very very well cooked, especially the fish and seafood! I loved our stay there and we will returned for sure!

    Staff was great, very helpful and probably the best I've ever met (5 stars hotels haven't been able to compete) In the end of our vacation we felt like a part of the family. Beach is like 20 steps from restaurant. Room was wow!

    i don’t usually review the resort or hotels, but this resort is outstanding! and i don’t usually repeat the experience if i travel in the same place, but if we ever go Zanzibar again (3rd time) we’ll definitely stay at Tulia again!! i travelled a lot, saw many 5* resorts but this is the best, in my oppinion. exacly what we are looking for: quiet, exotic bungalows, luxury experience.
