Marafiki Bungalows

Idyllic Setting: The hotel is frequently praised for its idyllic setting, surrounded by lush gardens and offering stunning ocean views, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and escape.

After 8 days on safari on bone rattling roads, and an epic day hike up Kilimanjaro, the Marifiki bungalows was a perfect way to recover! Beautiful bungalows set amongst lush greenery, soft sand, a stunning pool, and the sound of the sea against the shore. The rooms were comfortable and luxurious, whilst maintaining a cosy atmosphere, with balconies for a morning coffee, or to mingle with the bush-babies at night! The restaurant was rustic, yet clean, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the local dancers one evening were brilliant! The food was the best we’ve ever eaten on holiday (and we’ve travelled to many parts of the world), particularly the healthy breakfast options. Yes, the beach nearby isn’t postcard perfect and is sludgy when the tide goes out, but the resort itself has an elevated sand area for sunbathing, and you don’t get hassled by beach sellers! Moreover, we had no other tourists walking past, so we truly felt like we were in paradise, secluded from the world. The resorts greatest asset? The staff. All so friendly and welcoming, but a special shout out to Jackson Jr. On top of looking after us so well, he had brilliant humour, and made us laugh continuously. Asante sana to Jackson Jr, and the whole team at the Marifiki bungalows. Highly recommended!
