Kiwengwa Pongwe Forest Vacation Packages

There is a lot to say about this wonderful property and experience, but first things first. The STAFF is genuinely delightful. Upendo, Ireen, everyone at the breakfast service or Dixon in reception, to name a few, relentless in being helpful and kind. Everything is top notch and there is this absolutely original tour that we loved, where you visit all the inner parts of how the resort is organized from within. You have the chance to physically visit the dedicated offices for finance, procurement, logistics, laundry, staff's canteen, dynamics of the different restaurants, etc. etc. The FOOD it delicious from the variety at breakfast to the grilled fish/seafood or to the Italian pastas. The FACILITIES are unique with a practically private beach, loungers, pools, gym, sports grounds. The ACTIVITIES that make us feel that we are in sporting holidays liaising with other guests playing sports if you fancy movement at times, beside the relaxing sunny beach. Could probably elaborate more and more but in summary, it's a 10 out of 10 Holiday time!

If you like large resorts, you will enjoy RIU Jambo. The food at the buffet and the drinks were very good. The bartenders were all friendly, especially at the swim up bar. The beach is beautiful and the warm ocean is very swimmable. We appreciated being able to find beach and pool chairs to use. My only disappointment was we stayed for three nights and were only able to make reservations at one of the two specialty restaurants that wasn’t a buffet - even though I logged on immediately after arriving in the early afternoon.

I enjoyed my stay here at The Dreams Hotel. All the staff were very nice, and I really liked the pool area and Beach location. My room was clean, decorated beautifully and the ocean suite view was absolutely breath taking. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Zawadi is the true definition of private luxury! Everything was pristine: staff, property, drinks/food, views, villa, bed comfort, bath products, water pressure, hospitality, etc. The service & staff was incredible- Iddy, Mr M, Innocent, Bernard & Ally were amazing and truly caterered to my husband and I. Mary & Tatu did a superb job maintaining our villa. Noa, Isaak & Evelyn were lovely hosts, always checking on us and ensuring a pleasant experience. Live music is brought in for dinner 3x a week. Snorkeling, clear kayak & paddle boarding are available & included on site. You can also visit the small farm & garden onsite to see where most of your meals/food is grown. Everything is incredibly fresh! Extra activities are available such as a sunset cruise, however it is quite pricey ($450usd) so we chose a local tour operator on a traditional dhow boat that was a lovely experience for just $60usd. It seemed a bit frowned upon by the hotel staff to book w/outside/local tour operators (multiple comments were made). If you’re well-traveled & cautious like we are & want to support the locals, you’ll be fine. Don’t let the staff scare you away from an authentic experience. :) In conclusion, this is a property my husband and I would absolutely return & visit yearly, and as a travel advisor- it is most definitely one I’ll recommend to my luxury vip clients.
