Kilindi brings a welcome dash of pizazz to the island. The style of the lodge is completely unique and according to the developer should be known as “Zanzibaroque, a homage to the unique synthesis of the island’s endemic social and historical culture”.
The fifteen luxurious, white-domed pavilions offer a beautiful living space with three seperate sections – a bedroom, “wet-room” bathroom and “baraza” lounge. There is also a private plunge pool within each pavilion where you can cool off during the heat of the day.
The bedrooms are perfectly simple and clean in design with wonderful shutter doors that open out at the end of the bed so you can enjoy the views and cool breeze. The beds are huge with soft duvets and crisp white cotton linen which adds to the indulgence.
The “wet room” is a few steps away in a seperate domed pavilion which is very light and open to the outside elements but still discrete. There are two seperate washbasins whilst from the centre of the dome hangs a powerful hot “drench” shower which is wonderful and works off the lodge’s own water collection system.
Below all of this is the “baraza” area which has a day-bed, deck chairs, tables, “sailcloth” shade and access to the private plunge pool. A great area to chill out and enjoy the breeze and view.
The restaurant is within the main pavilion alongside a wonderful bar with waterfall backdrop. The food is superb and easily the best we have ever experienced on the island. The bar has a wonderful range of cocktails, an extensive wine list and an “espresso” coffee machine, all of which are served with real professionalism.
Next to the main pavilion is the large infinity pool and decking area looking right out over the sea and beach. Set further back into the gardens is the in-house “uShwari” spa offering a full range of massages and beauty treatments.
The local dive operator “Scuba-Doo” is available should you wish to arrange any scuba diving or snorkeling through the lodge.
Kilindi’s unique character, style and high level of service makes it very a special place for couples looking to relax in privacy.

I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
Many thanks for a truly great holiday! Nyerere National Park was a great success as we saw the wild dogs on 2 occasions and some great lion kills. In fact we saw a pride of 10 lion including cubs within 10 mins of landing in the Nyerere National Park! Zanzibar was wonderful! The sunshine hotel was beautiful and the staff were lovely.
The welcome and kindness and generosity we have received, in all of our camps and stops has been tremendous. Although we have both travelled a lot over our years together, we both agree this holiday has been outstanding, and one of the best experiences of our lives.
Thank you for organising a fabulous holiday for us – memories of which will last a lifetime. We have arrived back completely awed by Tanzania and Zanzibar. We saw the all the wildlife we could possibly wish to see. Our driver was charming and looked after us brilliantly. Lodges were excellent and food fantastic.
