Like at a friend's house

here in Kiwengwa, on the east coast of the island, far away from the noise of the cities and tourist resorts, we decided to build a small hotel. We wanted our friends to visit us, as well as our acquaintances and even meet new people. To allow them to feel free and relaxed. Exactly as if they were staying with friends. So the name MARAFIKI means FRIENDS in Swahili. We dreamed of creating an ideal place for rest and holidays, far from civilization, rich in African specificities, in harmony with nature and local culture.

We welcomed our first guests in December 2016, and wemade your dream come true.

The sun, the sound of the waves, the cool breeze of the ocean. Or maybe: the sun, the singing birds, the tropical jungle. Whichever room you choose, ocean view or garden view, you will be enchanted by the tranquility of Zanzibar and its intense colours.

Come and enjoy and experience our culinary delights!

Food is an important part of our culture and taste is one of our senses that opens our perception. That's why we have done our best to make our restaurant an invitation to travel through the profound gustatory riches of the island.

In developing our menu, we have been inspired by the traditional cuisine of Zanzibar. We have combined the treasures of Zanzibar, namely fish, seafood, vegetables and spices, with the specialties of Western cuisine . Our dishes are varied, fresh and healthy. They smell of spices. Add to this the western aesthetics of presentation and design, and this culinary paradise will make your meals a pleasure for all your senses. Come and enjoy!
