"The hotel is not nearly as beautiful as it is in the pictures. I am sure it was amazing 5 years ago but it has fallen into a bad state of disrepair. A colony of bats made a home inside and leave their droppings all over the hallway and in room #4 if you are lucky to get that one. Room #1 smelled of raw sewage. However, the wifi is blazing fast and works all over the property and beach. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. I just wish the owners would invest a little in repairs and clean out...

"We had the most amazing honeymoon stay at Kwanza Resort! ❤️ From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect and made our honeymoon so special and memorable. The resort was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the service was exceptional. All the staff were so kind, welcoming and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and well looked after. Their warmth and hospitality really made a difference to our experience. A special mention to the beautiful honeymoon and birthday decorations! 🥹❤️ They were so pretty and thoughtfully done, making our stay feel even more special. It was such a lovely touch and made our celebrations extra memorable. As someone who is vegetarian, I was especially pleased with the variety of vegan and vegetarian food options available. There was a great selection of delicious food, and it was wonderful to have options to enjoy throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate the beginning of our married life together. Thank you to the entire Kwanza Resort team for making our honeymoon so unforgettable. We made such beautiful memories here and would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a romantic getaway! 🌴✨ **Thank you, Kwanza Resort, for making our honeymoon so amazing!

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mkunguni?

The best area to stay in Mkunguni is Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historical heart of Zanzibar City.

Stone Town is characterized by its narrow, winding alleys, ancient coral stone buildings, and bustling markets. It's a pedestrian-friendly area, and you'll find landmarks like the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and Forodhani Gardens along the waterfront. This area is the primary hub for visitors, offering a rich cultural experience.

Couples often find Stone Town ideal for a romantic and culturally rich getaway. The area's unique architecture, sunset dhow cruises departing from the harbor, and numerous rooftop restaurants create a memorable setting. Exploring the intricate streets hand-in-hand and discovering hidden courtyards is a highlight for many.

For solo travelers, Stone Town provides a captivating and convenient base. Its compact size makes it easy to navigate, and there are many opportunities to engage with local culture, from spice tours to exploring local art galleries.

When is the best time to go to Mkunguni?

The best time to visit Mkunguni, Unguja South Region, Tanzania, is during the dry seasons, which run from June to October and again from December to February.

These months offer pleasant weather conditions, with less humidity and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the island's outdoor activities and beaches. The clear skies and calmer seas are superb for snorkeling, diving, and boat excursions to nearby islands.

For travelers looking to explore the natural beauty of the area, including Jozani Forest, the dry season provides comfortable conditions for walking and wildlife viewing. The lower humidity also makes strolling through Stone Town's narrow streets more enjoyable.
