Mangrove Lodge

This really is a beautiful location. A peaceful and relaxing escape with friendly staff that are happy to go the extra mile to make your stay even better. A Family run business with Mr Haji and his son's, arranged some amazing tours and trips to Stone Town and the Spice Farm with a tour guide, taxi, entry paid and all topped off with a cooking lesson at the end of the day. Mangrove Lodge also works with the local village for employment making this a truly sustainable and fulfilling experience for everyone. 10/10 and a heart felt Well Done from us.

We soon saw past the bumpy access road. Mangrove Lodge was at the end and local Taxi Drivers do it all the time.

Beautiful setting … gardens and Zen magnificent. Food very good and team very friendly. Wonderful down the front of hotel watching life on the beach

Power blackouts …early evenings .. a few barking dogs nearby . The road in is small and very dirty

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Mangrove Lodge. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and reliable. They genuinely cared about the well-being of their guests and were always ready to help whenever we needed anything. The food was also very good, fresh and of high quality.

There were a few things we didn’t like. In the evenings, the electricity went out quite often. This alone wasn’t a major problem, but the generator used during the power cuts was extremely loud, which made it very difficult to sleep at night. Another thing to be aware of is that the bathroom is outdoors. This can be a unique experience, but it might not be suitable for everyone.

All the foliage...

WI-FI was very poor, there was so much trash on the beach, my bed was too short--I'm 6"2'--had to sleep diagonally...Electricity went out twice over the two-day period I was there...The road leading to the lodge was very hard to navigate because of pot holes and mud...
