The Pongwe resort was a little bit of paradise. The family chalet with 2 bedrooms and stunning views over the bays with morning coffee was excellent. The food was first-class hotel standard and the staff were so friendly, I have never seen so many people smile so genuinely. It was so relaxing and we totally loved it.

The Dunn Family, Zanzibar

Zanzibar was beautiful and relaxing – we absolutely loved Unguja Lodge, everything was so relaxed, real barefoot luxury. The owners are a great couple, their family was there for the holidays too. Only one other couple there, so great service and solitude. We travel a lot, and have seen many countries and places but Zanzibar and Unguja Lodge are the first place we truly would return for a second visit.

Tracey Newman, Zanzibar

Unguja Beach lodge was just heaven. 12 steps from our own golden beach. Dinner every night was outstanding as were all the staff throughout our stay.

Laura Potts, Zanzibar

We had a wonderful time away, beautiful setting and such great staff. Especially Pongwe – again staff, food, location fantastic!
