Marafiki Bungalows was a delight. But what made it a perfect location to rest & relax were all the employees. Lots of flora & fauna & quite. Management were women and everything done perfectly & no detail forgot. We had a Gluten Free person traveling with us & the chefs were super accommodating. Food was all delicious . Pool & beach were beautiful. A special thank you to Jackson who took care of all our food needs & the ladies working reception. Easy 1 hour ride from Zanzibar airport & would definitely return to Marafiki.

This is our all time favourite stay, beautiful gardens, lovely sea view, staff are exceptional. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay great. Food was excellent Felt like we were staying with a family. Perfect place to relax and enjoy. If u are looking for action and tons of activities then look elsewhere, this is a place to chill, so safe and they look after everything. U can get to places like Stonetown as rides are easily arranged by the hotel.

It was a beautiful and quiet hotel. Staff and food were excellent, lovely big rooms. Shame the sea is tidal and not the prettiest but the hotel is lovely.

My family was grateful for the last minute accommodations. The staff was pleasant and efficient in both checking in and out of the property. I know it was a necessity but the room had a heavy aroma of bug spray.
