マングローブ ロッジ(Mangrove Lodge)

Charming place lots of beautiful foliage wonderful staff .love the outdoor shower experience, great meals and very inexpensive. Not far from Stonetown but brace yourself for the rough dirt road ride to the lodge .Besides that lovely chill spot for pure relaxation.. Can't thank the entire staff enough for all that they do. Lovely pool and beach was accessible,a must try is the Seafood platter . Haji and the staff many thanks again for your hospitality may you be blessed.

We arrived at the Mangrove during our short stay in Zanzibar, even though it wasn't quite what was expected, it worked out for the best. I loved the concept of the Eco friendly property with all the fruit trees and all of its habitats. I was able to walk to the beach. The beach doesn't have turqoise water but just having accessibilty was good enough. Seeing the locals work on their fishing boats, fishing and come out and part take in a game of football and swimming was great, it reminded me of my home island Trinidad & Tobago. The staff was amazing and accommodating, they went above and beyond to make our group feel comfortable and welcomed. My choices of food options were great. My favorite was the seafood platter, fish and the prawns avocado salad. Our group planned to wear white one night at dinner and we decided to do so when Haji suggested dinner on the beach because we ordered seafood. It was a last minute and turned out quite beautiful thanks to Mauwanna's decorations (I'm sooo sorry if I mispelt your name luv). The setting was beautiful and we even had a bon fire. A big thank you to Veronica, Paschal, Mauwanna, Khalifa, Berta, and my room attendant (can't remember her name, please forgive me) and Haji. You all made my stay memorable with your smiling faces. Thank you soo much for having me, it was quite an experience. I would be back. Continued blessings to your business. Haji thanks for accommodating us on the last day of our travels back home, it was greatly appreciated.

What a fantastic place to stay Haji and his staff could not do enough for us and made you feel 'at home', 15 out of 10!!!!! for friendliness and the way they looked after us. The tropical gardens were beautiful and it was great to walk down to the pool on the beach where there was a laid back bar for enjoying a drink before dinner

The Lodge is wonderful in its own way. Not a beach resort, but a mangrove garden. Many fantastic flowers and great accommodations. The central reception/bar/restaurant was very fun and beautiful. The owner is friendly and full of great suggestions for activities. However the drive to the place was full of huge potholes whichb were often full of rainwater. I was honestly scared to get out of the taxi, when we arrived in the dark and there was not a well-lit or well- managed welcome area.

We visited the Mangrove Lodge for our honeymoon looking to unwind after some adventures on the mainland. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to relax in Zanzibar, this is it. Even if the lodge was fully booked, you hardly notice any of the other guests. The whole resort is spacious and the layout lends itself to privacy. The staff were incredibly friendly and accomodating, the rooms were clean, spacious, and the outdoor showers were cool! The food is delicious, and you might even spot a bush baby or colobus monkey hanging out while you indulge!

Beautiful secluded paradise, private Beach . Amazing infinity pool. Very remote which adds to the chsrm , no tourist. Charming owners ,only 10 Rooma - close to stown town . Gorgeous groubds and Beach club , lots of activities available , exeptional

Beautiful oasis of calm and relaxation!

Very peaceful. Beautiful gardens and sunset from the beach bar area. Nice and spacious bungalows. Good food. Great hosts. Family run business in the middle of nature. Very good for relaxing. Nice chill area. Free and tasty tea and coffee throughout the day at the restaurant. Only downside were the many mosquitoes.

The Mangrove Lodge is set in expansive, beautiful gardens. The rooms are two together in spacious cottages, nicely decorated in Zanzibari style with well functioning airconditioning. Unfortunately no wifi in the room (it is available in the restaurant and at the beach). Food is very good and not expensive to Western standards, but takes a long time to prepare … think at least one hour. Therefore dinner orders are already taken in the afternoon. There is a menu of transportation and excursions, executed aa agreed although some unclarity about the cost (which could be resolved). Very nice pool/beach area with great beach bar. The road to the lodge is very bumpy, not inviting one to leave the lodge too often for excursions etc.
