Promised Land Lodge

This is a beautiful and quiet place, perfect if you’re looking to truly slow down and unwind. Life here moves at a gentle pace, and it never feels crowded or rushed. The lodge isn’t always the most pristine or “perfect,” but that’s actually part of its charm. It doesn’t feel like a sanitized resort — it feels real and authentic, with character and soul. You feel like you’re staying somewhere genuine rather than somewhere designed to impress on paper. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home, cared for, and relaxed in a way that’s hard to describe but easy to feel. The view is beautiful, especially at sunset. The tide isn’t always high enough for swimming in the sea, but the pool is perfect for cooling down and enjoying the surroundings. I would return to this place without hesitation — for the quiet, the authenticity of Kizimkazi, and the truly good vibes and beauty of this lodge.

Beautiful location. Pros: - nice pool - activities - laundry service (not expensive) - inexpensive great massages Cons: - no AC - almost no water pressure in shower - only 1 very mediocre restaurant with nothing really near by

Virkelig dejligt flot og roligt sted maden er lidt primitiv men perfekt sted at starte en længere ferie på zanzibar

Absolutely beautiful place to spend 5 days. Utterly clean, great food, cold drinks, very very cheap, free kayaks and paddle boards, good shower, friendly dogs, interesting wildlife, really friendly staff, loads of interesting places to sit and lay down in the communal area, can walk quite far out into the Indian ocean when the tide is out and it faces west so the view of the sun setting each evening is spectacular. I'll give it a 14 out of 10!!!

My forever go to place. This is my fifth visit. Its just magical. Could be nice if the menu had more selection and if there would be snacks available to buy, as you really dont want to leave the place at all. The spa lady is very good - had a very lovely massage.
