Location and surroundings

Zuri Zanzibar is located in Kendwa on the north-west coast of Zanzibar, directly on a wide sandy beach. The beach is not affected by the tides, so you can swim at any time of day. In the evening the sun sets over the open ocean. The surroundings are quiet, yet you can still reach local restaurants and diving centres. Excursions take you to Nungwi or to the Mnarani Aquarium. From Stone Town and from Abeid Amani Karume Airport it takes around 90 minutes by car.

Zanzibar offers further accommodation in other coastal areas and in the interior of the island. For an overview of lodges, camps and hotels on the island, see the lodges in Zanzibar page.

Rooms and facilities

The 56 bungalows, suites and villas are modern and generously designed. Each room has its own bathroom and a private terrace; some categories additionally have a Jacuzzi or access to a private beach. The view extends over the greenery or out to sea, and the furnishings combine contemporary design with African influences. The spacious grounds include a large pool, several restaurants and bars, a wellness area and the resort’s own spice garden. Half board with breakfast and dinner is included with every stay, and an all-inclusive package can be added on request.

Nkoaranga Orphanage

The Nkoaranga orphanage at the foot of Mount Meru has existed since 1997; around 30 children up to the age of three live there with 12 carers. Instead of a fixed contribution, Wildfinder Safaris regularly buys supplies for the orphanage: groceries, toiletries and similar items.
