    The hosts lovely, engaging and made time to take me to some activities. Spacious rooms. Well kept gardens. Green location, close to the beach

    Thoughtfully designed garden with few small houses. Family peace created by Giuditta and Omar and their brave baby boy. Five cuddly dogs and two little cats, birds, night singing and talking along everynight campfire, swinging under trees. Home...

Omar and Giuditta
The property is built around 6 different bungalows, featuring 4 accomodation types, 2 rooftop terraces and restaurant and bar. Groups and families friendly, with very big spacious tropical gardens and common areas. A remote location, an adventurous and peaceful experience. The closest mini market is a 3min walk, while Kizimkazi town is 1km away, 15/20min walk.
We are Karibu Maisha, a newly built lodge in Kizimkazi Mkunguni, South Zanzibar Island, located in Tanzania, East Africa. Health & Healing, slow living pace, delicious home-cooked food, live music, adventures, secret spots … Experience Zanzibar island with Karibu Maisha!
A cozy and lively neighbourhood, with residents from all over the world, local and expats, living in suggestive tropical houses hidden in the bush. A great area to explore by foot, bicycle or bodaboda (the local bike service). Get yourself ready to connect with nature and discover hidden gems of our planet!
