Zuri Zanzibar offers guests a feeling of peace and tranquillity. Zuri Zanzibar is perfect for any client looking to try something off the beaten African tracks.
Rooms – Fifty Six bungalows, suites and villas.
Location – Zanzibar
Upendo, near the lobby, and Maisha, by the pool, both serve breakfast. Dinner at the former switches between buffet service (but don’t let that put you off) and five-course set menus, with an African and Indian Ocean influence to classic grilled meats and fish.
The buffet spans salads to stews, with a whole dessert room to save space for. Maisha is a little fancier (worth washing the salt out of your hair for), with a central, rope-decorated bar and lots of woven lamps.
There’s also Bahari Beach Grill & Bar, for lighter lunches; look out for seafood barbecues of lobster and grilled fish held regularly out on the sand.
Room service
The full breakfast menu can be served in-room, as can all the comfort-food classics.
There are no fewer than four bars at the hotel, so it’ll be pretty hard to go thirsty around here. Peponi is next to the entrance and, yes, it has more lighting that’s fighting for your attention (these ones are upcycled bottles).
There’s also a bar on the beach and a pool bar that’s technically a part of Maisha.
The Dhow Bar is on the semi-private beach and is solely for guests of the suites and villas.
There’s an infinity pool next to Maisha, with several sunloungers to choose from – but you’re steps from sparkly Indian Ocean sands, where the hotel has helpfully set up cabanas with billowy drapes amid the palms.
Enjoy special moments with the whole family by getting involved with these experiences:
HORSE RIDING
Whether you decide to take a ride on the beach (60 min) or go for an ocean dip (30 min), this is definitely a must try if you want a truly unique experience.
We suggest going early in the morning to avoid the heat and the busy beach life.
◉ Have a professional photographer capture this unique moment

The Mnarani Centre was set up to rehabilitate and study marine turtles that have been caught in fishing nets, and to ensure that local baby turtles are
protected.
