I had an incredible experience at the Zawadi Hotel during my first visit to Zanzibar. My boyfriend had stayed at the hotel many times before, and he couldn't have made a better choice. From the very beginning, I experienced paradise; the view was heavenly, and the food tasted incredible, with natural ingredients and tropical flavors. All of the staff were professional and welcoming. Evelyn took care of every detail for the guests. Ali, Raza, and Hidaya were always kind and greeted us with fabulous smiles. Abdul showed us around the farm and took care of the kayak trip. They provided a wonderful experience. The staff made us feel welcome and at home with positive energy, which made all the difference. I leave with a grateful heart and recharged with positive energy.

Zawadi feels like Heaven on Earth, from the food to the staff to the location. Very private and intimate with staff who will make sure you are taken care of. We were originally booked for a different property but Expedia switched us since the other property was overbooked and we were so lucky to stay for the Christmas holiday. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer!

Zawadi is the true definition of private luxury! Everything was pristine: staff, property, drinks/food, views, villa, bed comfort, bath products, water pressure, hospitality, etc. The service & staff was incredible- Iddy, Mr M, Innocent, Bernard & Ally were amazing and truly caterered to my husband and I. Mary & Tatu did a superb job maintaining our villa. Noa, Isaak & Evelyn were lovely hosts, always checking on us and ensuring a pleasant experience. Live music is brought in for dinner 3x a week. Snorkeling, clear kayak & paddle boarding are available & included on site. You can also visit the small farm & garden onsite to see where most of your meals/food is grown. Everything is incredibly fresh! Extra activities are available such as a sunset cruise, however it is quite pricey ($450usd) so we chose a local tour operator on a traditional dhow boat that was a lovely experience for just $60usd. It seemed a bit frowned upon by the hotel staff to book w/outside/local tour operators (multiple comments were made). If you’re well-traveled & cautious like we are & want to support the locals, you’ll be fine. Don’t let the staff scare you away from an authentic experience. :) In conclusion, this is a property my husband and I would absolutely return & visit yearly, and as a travel advisor- it is most definitely one I’ll recommend to my luxury vip clients.

Bestes Kleinhotel auf Sansibar

Zum Abschluss von unserer Safaritour durch Tansania wollten wir noch ein paar Tage am Meer geniessen. Bei der Auswahl vom Hotel sind wir auf das Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar gestossen. Wir wollte nicht in einem grossen Hotelbunker ĂŒbernachten. Was wir dann angetroffen haben hat alle unsere Erwartungen ĂŒbertroffen. Wir möchten sogar behaupten, dass das Hotel das beste Kleinhotel von Sansibar und Tansania sein wird. Noch besser kann man es nĂ€mlich nicht machen. Service, Unterkunft, Anlage, Strand, Essen und Personal. Einfach topp!!! Es besonderes Kompliment gehört dem Management rund um Evelyne. Anders lĂ€sst es sich nicht erklĂ€ren, wieso jeder Mitarbeiter höchst professionell arbeitet mit einem stetigen LĂ€cheln im Gesicht.
