We stayed in a beautiful villa at Zanzi Resort with its own private pool and the setting and surroundings are stunning. However, what let it down is the dinner menu on both nights. We were presented with a five-course tasting menu but no matter how you dress it up, 'sticky chicken wings with fries' for a main course does not fall under a fine dining experience. This is the type of dish one expects to have at a fast food restaurant and not at a five-star resort like Zanzi. Even on the first night, I found the stuffed aubergine with chicken main course to be very stodgy. The dinner service on the first night was excellent but on the second night, it was a bit haphazard as we were served the wrong items and also dishes were served very late. The jetty at the resort offers stunning views, including a beautiful sunset.

An experience to remember
Loved it! It was stunning and the staff were so friendly! Rashid, Alexandra and Emmanuel made our stay so much more relaxing and fun as they were super helpful. As a Muslim couple, we cared about privacy a lot. And this provided exactly what we were looking for. We had booked the ocean access private villa with a pool. We are definitely thinking of coming back.
We were able to book a private dinner in the beach!
This is the restaurant. The food was delicious and different every day
The Jetty provided a lovely view at sunset. If we had more time we would’ve booked the private dinner experience at the end of the jetty.
This was the path to our villa

Great for honeymooners
A wonderful hidden Gem ...in a village called Kama .. villas are spacious.. and nicely decorated.. thus lack not so modern .. Very beautiful Gardens with monkeys and Lemurs .. very nice Jetty ...and nice private beach .. not ideal for swimming due to rocks in the water .. Service is impecable yet bit slow especially if rushing to a,tour .. food is high quality .. Yet needs some more diversity especially when it comes to local cuisine and sea food .deserts are not the best .. The biggiest minus is that when you are there .. you can't go around if like you were in Paje beach or elsewhere...you need to rent a car or hire a taxi which should take you to new places and you end up paying few hundreds for displacements .

Our experience was really great. The resort is amazing, it was quit and relaxing. the villa was great it has big bedroom and living room. The swimming pool was big and the privacy was good ( specially for us as Muslims ). The restaurant offers variety of good and delicious food that suits different tastes. The staff are amazing, they really did a great job, they are friendly and helpful and they try to do everything thing to make us comfortable, specially Mr. Nivot. we really felt welcomed and appreciated. We celebrated our anniversary and they setup a romantic dinner ( free of charge) that was amazing. Big thanks for Mr. Nivot for his hospitality and friendliness.

Paradise Found
Peace, tranquility, gentle attention and care. Privacy, warm, unobtrusive service … a million miles away from noisy, brash resorts. More than we had hoped for. Zanzi was a home from home, made extra special by the warm, welcoming people who made us feel special. The privacy afforded by our Villa was perfect to rest and restore. The massage was so good we booked another for the next day. The food is exceptionally good. We’re vegetarian and never felt like we needed anything more than was offered. Good wine choices. Best of all, though, the staff. Asante sana. We hope to see you again

Zanzi resort made this trip the best trip I’ve been on. I’ve traveled many places and never encountered hospitality like this. The property is breathtaking like a luxury jungle. Great food and drinks. Staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I didn’t even tell them it was my birthday and for dinner they planned a surprise for me. The resort was the best part of my trip to Zanzibar. Thanks Emily!
