Traveller reviews

“Superb”
17 Jul 2025
It is a beautiful place, a lot of activities - daily excursions (staff even tried to organize it just for us), diving (different reefs), snorkeling, massages, everything. Food is amazing, prices are reasonable. Very peaceful, nice, calm and great send camp. Staff was also amazing, we were three young girls, felt safe and really enjoyed our last days of Tanzania.

“Relaxed camping vibe.”

Really relaxed vibe. Fabulous helpful staff and lots of daily options for things to do. There was a choice of main course for dinner each night and all of my meals were delicious and good value. Very quiet - just what we wanted. The locals were very friendly and there was no being hassled by beach vendors. Beautiful location

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.

“Very good”
