If you need power during a power cut please ask the staff to switch on the generator.
PLEASE NOTE: in the unlikely event of a power cut the backup generator does NOT permit the use of air conditioning.

Summary: Mwendawima was the perfect stay for us to end our 3 week safari visit to Tanzania and Kenya. This was our first visit to Zanzibar so we weren’t completely sure which area we should stay…and this place didn’t disappoint! Step out of the gate onto beautiful, super fine white sand for long beach walks or a swim in warm water. There we many locals trying to sell you things but in the big picture they were not pushy or annoying (as we found in other ares on our trip). Khatib, our host, was there to greet us and was very responsive to any inquiries we had. The house was clean and comfortable with a great private yard to relax in. Breakfast was served every morning with fresh fruit, eggs, bread and crepes. Two of the evenings we had dinner made for us. Delicious 3 course meals. The other two nights we walked up the beach and found great options for dinners out. The area is not highly developed and very much grass roots small town local…everyone we encountered at Jambiani Beach was friendly and inviting. Be aware of “Crazy Mondays” live music venue nearby which went on until 3AM. You will likely know every song played :). Otherwise, the neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. We were visited by some red colobus monkeys which were very cool to watch up close. All in all, we were very happy with our stay.
