The hole of the place. The feeling of being welcome and not as a turist, but as a human. Mussa is the carrier of the place, his way to run this place is so responsible for Natur and respectful to his staff, it all shows. This is the best holiday we ever had, and i give it my warmest recommendations. And I have been traveling to Tanzania for four years now.

It is a beautiful place, well organized and very friendly and considerate staff. They remember your names, likes and dislikes when it comes to food - we were really impressed We tried different activities at the dive centre and had a great time. They also have a very comfy lounge area to chill and escape the heat.

It was delicious food, and Shaggy was always ready to help in whatever I asked. The location is perfect for diving, and for visiting Utende, and the environment is lovely. Small, budget friendly, and sweet.

The bungalows are very cozy, super clean and the staff is extremely friendly 👌👍 The owner took us on a day trip with snorkeling and diving and had a lot of tips for us. He joined us for lunch and dinner and had an answer to all of our questions regarding whale sharks, diving, beaches etc. 100% recommendation !

This is the perfect holiday destination. William and his team are fantastic. The bungalow is cosy, with a hammock to relax. The restaurant and menu each evening is absolutely delicious. We liked the cocktails, and you must try the fish fingers for lunch. The diving activities associated with the hotel are top notch. Big thanks to Amin especially for the whale shark expert tour. I highly recommend this place!

    Some nice different options for various tours in the marine park. Not really a beach there, and the little sand available is occupied by working fisherman; either side is mangrove. There is a sandbar further out you can visit. Better to stay outside to avoid the marine fees and only pay them when you need to enter it as nicer beaches elsewhere.

    Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time.

    Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time. Still underdeveloped with not too many locals handling foreign languages but nice people. A lot of chinese low key staff in the boutiques but sometimes quite pricey. Even the beer is cheaper in Europe ! Kilindoni is the main spot and if you don't find a certain thing here , you won't be able to find it on the other part of the island. Island still lacks promotion ( advertising ) and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find those T shirts with Mafia logo or saying something about the island. I went there for diving - and it turned out to be the most expensive one I had in whole my life - so resume to whale shark watching.until the government change its mind and stops screwing tourists. ( I hope this will happen in the future ). Regarding the diving: I'm an instructor so can lay down a professional thought: good but not outstanding as they brag ... and not worth the money.

    KItu KIblu is very close to KIlidoni and the airport (5 minutes walking, if with a backpack no need for a taxi). Centre is 15 minutes either by the beach or bay the main road; not great choice of restaurants and better going by night, it's safe and people are very friendly. Don't forget to say hello (mambo) to all men (women seem not appropriate, probably due to muslim religion) and shake your arm to children at the front door, they will repay with a great smile!! By the beach experience the fisherman village to south and back to town by the jungle, there are a lot of small villages with friendly people. Otherwise tuktuk is a good mean to move along the island until Chole, to north (nice beaches) better take a taxi. Pay attention at the road to Ras kisimani, beach is wonderful but very tough to get there. When in Utende I strongly recommend Pamela beach for a lunch or dinner; she's great and let you experience local food.
