Zawadi is truly a special place - we recently stayed for 8 nights for part of our honeymoon and don't think we've ever experienced a hotel which has made us feel so relaxed and sheltered from the worries of normal life!

The hotel property is intimate and luxurious - every corner you turn there is something more beautiful to view.

The Abeid Amani Karume Airport, Zanzibar (IATA CODE = ZNZ)

If you are booking through a travel agent, they may have ground services in Zanzibar available to meet you alternatively please let us know and we will make these arrangements at an extra fee.

Yes, all of our award winning properties are located right in front of a white sandy beach

Similar to majority of the "Swahili Coast" our beaches are tidal and the tide timings change with each season. (you may google exact high and low tide timings for your specific stay with us) Low tide is a wonderful opportunity to take a free guided "Reef Safari" and discover some of our wonderful marine life.
