We spent the last half of our honeymoon here after safari on the mainland. Everything was so perfect. The food was amazing, there was a different menu every evening. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms and pool were cleaned everyday. Usually we do day trips on our holidays, but we didn't feel the need to leave after 7 nights here. We already had a quite and clean beach and with own pool.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We always looked forward to the meals because the food was delicious and great conversation with the staff. They made us feel at home, I wished we had stayed longer! It was my fiance’s birthday and they made it as special as possible, they made him his favourite dish and had a birthday song performance that left him beaming from ear to ear. It was truly a memorable stay at Zanzi. A beautiful hideaway from the world, the villa was spectacular and private. We look forward to coming back again.
