Genial - only 5 min away from the airport by taxi! Recommndable, if your plane is leaving in the morning. You have no stress that there might be a traffic jam, if you stayed in a more remote part of Zanzibar.

While my stay was short I really loved mamas house. It was a relaxing quiet place and the locals were friendly and welcoming. The host and his family were also very welcomining and very informative. I am happy to have spent my last night in zanzibar here.

The villa on its own it is clean and on the right spot the ambience of the beach and nature and how the house location is the best . I really enjoyed my stay. It is a beautiful place,just 15 minutes away to stone town. Urah our guest manager she is an excellent host …loved her so much ,she is soft and humble. We really enjoyed our stay.

It is the gateway to Zanzibar when you had an early morning, late night or even a long flight just to relax. The establishments are helpful and so are the locals. You can take a cheaper Tuktuk or more expensive private taxi, spend about 20 minutes to Stone Town where you will be able to do many tours at or from. If you have never been on a Tuktuk it could be an opportunity to have a time of your life bumping and breaking as it pass thorough traffic. You also can choose to rent a car if you willing to drive there. Just remember that most roads are small and speed limit is lower than other countries. While you there, there are motorcycles, pedestrians, tuktuks and other cars that buzz everywhere, if you choose to rent a car. The wind from the open top part of the doors in refreshing. Note that the locals may not speak English as good as you, so speak slower and clearly. They are very helpful. There are supermarkets, restaurants, accommodations in different styles in Kiembi Samaki. You can book tours directly from there to other areas. Though I would advise to go further inwards the country once you are done with sightseeing. Then book a night just before your flight so that you are closer to the airport. I used a supermarket on the main road (Nyerere) to buy supplies. It is next to a Last Minute Safari offices. Just next to it there is a Hotel with restaurant. I used a mixture of Tuktuk and private taxi to commute. Make sure you have Tanzanian Shilling to be able to use around. Take the name of establishment, street and landmarks should you use a tuktuk so that you can explain when you come back. lastly, relax because Zanzibar is a very safe place. ofcourse caution is needed, but not like in many countries.

Very good location near very to the main road, to the Airport,Very near to the restaurant Zanzibari's Dishes, Italian Restaurant and Indian Restaurant as well and so on, Almost 10minutes to the Stone Town, Forodhani Garden and the city generally Also very near place to catch the private car or public car as some wishes and very quiet place, And what the most wonderful the Host are very helpful, friendly and very responsible to their guests and much more welcomed to their guests. We really had a good time and enjoyable time I shall be back soon there. I'm much more recommend to the Guests/Tourist to this Host House/Apartment Hakuna Matata.
