The secluded and quiet area away from the main resort areas made it seem like one is in the real Zansibar, with original vegetation, forest and village life on your doorstep. The lodge has beautiful views out over the Baobab trees to the ocean with lots of birds and monkey viewing, and also a short walk to the local villages and the beautiful Mtende beach.

Luxurious Treehouse
I love this place as it sits on top of a mountain and once you’re inside your room, it feels like you’re in a luxurious treehouse. The views are amazing and the sunrise was great to wake up to and witness. I was looking for a calm and serene place in nature to end my 3 week long trip around Zanzibar and this place was exactly what I was looking for. The staff helped me with my backpack up and down the stairs, and greeted me with a nice fruit drink. The host was endearing, funny, easy-going and very generous, letting me stay beyond checkout time. He offered me tea in the morning and great conversations. Breakfast was delicious consisting of eggs done your way, toast, pancakes, Nutella, peanut butter, fruit, tea, and a fruit drink. Being up in the mountain, there’s a wonderful breeze present throughout the day. Reading a book in this setting was ideal. For dinner I ordered the grilled calamari and pumpkin purée which was phenomenal! Kudos to the chef! Also, the host informed me of the electricity outage notification that he received and provided me with an emergency light and his personal hotspot and I saw several lanterns lit as backup. Luckily, the outage never occurred but I was highly impressed by the host’s proactive approach to making me feel prepared and comfortable, reducing any inconveniences that may occur. Other places I’ve stayed at just expected the guests to deal with the outage. You’re also in for a treat if you love monkeys as they will come right up to you.
Nothing.

Enjoy nature and that's it.
The view is amazing. The continuous nature noise arround. Wild monkeys (and other animals) visits. Food is simple but good. Very comfortable bed.
The beach is amazing (8 min walk from hotel)
We appreciated the whole experience and enjoyed it a lot.
As long as you go mentally prepared for no TV, no AC, no WIFI in the room, very basic but good breakfast everything is going to be great.

Best Views In Zanzibar
The best views of the natural world in the whole of Zanzibar. I loved the creative and thought that went into the construction of the bungalow!
Its on top on a hill and views stretch into the distance.
A walking distance from Mthende Beach.
De ligging is schitterend. Het zijn slechts drie huisjes en ze liggen boven/middenin het baobabbos. De apen komen in de ochtend bij je kijken, echt heel erg leuk hoe zelfverzekerd ze naast je gaan zitten (ze proberen dingen te stelen, maar ze zijn zo vriendelijk en komisch). En ze hebben veel respect voor het personeel dus bij het ontbijt laten ze je met rust. Er is een mooie bar (lekkere cocktails) en restaurant bij en het personeel is ontzettend aardig. Om 6 uur in de avond wordt er fruit bij de bar gelegd zodat de bushbabies langskomen. Wij vonden het superleuk om hier een paar dagen te verblijven, omdat het een compleet andere kant van Zanzibar laat zien.

L'endroit est magique. Vraiment. Ce lodge est vraiment atypique pour Zanzibar. Ici la star n'est pas la mer, mais la nature. Le point de vue est fabuleux, les couchers de soleil grandioses. Nourriture simple mais très bien préparée et présentée. Propreté nickel. Hate d'y retourner
Rien, tout est magique mais il faut aimer la nature.

أحببت وجود الحيوانات في الموقع. ربما لا يناسب المكان من لا يحبون الحيوانات. بالنسبة لي كان كأنه حلم من أحلام الطفولة.
