The baobab forest at the Makunduchi light house For years we wanted to discover the area around the light house in Makunduchi- at the very Southern tip of Zanzibar. We thought it would be deserted – but found lots.   

Your very own beach for a day We went to find a deserted beach for or guests to enjoy and relax a full day.  

Private Zanzibar coziness Enjoy the tranquility, the view,  the tropical garden, rest and relax at the pool. Hang in the sofa, walk the beach, talk to the fisherman.    

Sizzling and atmospheric Situated opposite each other across the sea,  Zanzibar and Bagamoyo has similarities yet the atmosphere is totally different from each other.
