Kilindi Zanzibar

Our butler, Frank was amazing! Always available for anything we wanted and even things we didn’t know we wanted! Food was 4.5* clean, fresh and tasty. All of the staff was very warm and friendly. The bed was firm and comfortable. The villa was kept very clean by daily service. Very much enjoyed!

This place is a rare gem. The staff are amazing. The food is out of this world. We had Witness as our butler and she went above and beyond to make sure we’re comfortable. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our experience truly one of a kind!

I have never been to Zanzibar. After a 1.5 hour ride in car we arrived in Paradise. Kilindi is a hidden gem. The staff were so attentive and caring. Located with a private beach on Indian Ocean. Very well designed villas with ocean view. Salel our butler was outstanding

We stayed at Kilindi Zanzibar for our honeymoon and are sad to be travelling home today. The staff here are amazing - so helpful, attentive and have high quality hospitality etiquette. The pavilions are beautiful and so well maintained - we had a garden view and it was like our own secret hideaway. And the 24/7 host service meant that we could stay in our own bubble some days, or venture down to the bar/restaurant/pool if we fancied a change of scenery. Some info about the all inclusive - they have a good range of all inclusive cocktails (pina colada, tequila sunrise, mojito) which are all made with fresh fruit and ingredients, and they offer some premium cocktails too at a cost, but we didn’t feel the need to explore these as there’s a good variety included. There were 2-4 different red and white wines available, all nice grapes and mostly South African. The spirits list offered 1 of each spirit included (e.g. a Gordon’s dry gin) with the option to upgrade to a premium spirit at a charge (again we didn’t feel the need). A good range of soft drinks, smoothies, tea and coffee included. Cannot fault the food at all, a huge variety through the day with high quality ingredients (we basically lived off lobster, tuna sashimi, and fish tacos!). The dinner tasting menu changed every night, with some extra surprises organised by our host e.g. romantic dinner on the beach but I won’t spoil the rest. Our host Jacob was everything we could have asked for and more! So friendly, accommodating, and regularly checked in on us through the day to ensure we were well looked after. We also did the Spice Tour and Stone Town excursion and thoroughly enjoyed. Our guide Abdula was very knowledgeable and helpful, and a great sense of humour too! Kilindi is probably the friendliest place we have visited and all of the staff take pride in their work. Everything is clean, well looked after and the staff are so happy and cheerful. I have uploaded some photos so you know what to expect, but not too many as you should experience it for yourself! Thank you Kilinidi, for making our honeymoon a beautiful experience that we will remember forever. P.S. the entry road is a little bumpy, but rest-assured that paradise does await at the end!

Wonderful service and friendly staff! Kilindi was a standout hotel on our Tanzania-Zanzibar trip. Kilindi has private access to a section of the beach but it is also a walking distance from the main beach with activities. Thanks Kilindi for a great experience!

Thank you for the relaxing stay Kilindi! Lillian and Salum provided excellent service and went above and beyond to meet our needs and make the Zanzibar portion of our safari trip a great experience.
