Hotels with Breakfast Included in Kizimkazi

On the southern tip of Zanzibar, you’ll find Kizimkazi, a quiet fishing village that feels a world away from Stone Town’s spice markets. The main reason people come here is for the dolphins. Local boat captains take you out from the beach to meet pods of bottlenose and humpback dolphins that frequent the Menai Bay Conservation Area. History buffs should also visit the Kizimkazi Dimbani Mosque, home to one of the oldest Islamic inscriptions on the East African coast, dating back to the 12th century.

This is a destination for travelers seeking a relaxed, authentic coastal experience rather than nightlife. It’s ideal for couples and families who want to combine beach time with unique wildlife encounters. You’ll need to arrange a taxi or hire a car from Zanzibar Airport, as it’s about an hour’s drive south. Staying in Kizimkazi itself puts you right by the dolphin tours, while nearby villages like Bwejuu offer longer stretches of sand.

Accommodation here is generally small-scale and personal. On HOTEVI, you can choose from seven hotels, ranging from simple guesthouses and budget-friendly lodges right on the beach to a few mid-range boutique hotels with ocean views. You won’t find large international resorts, which is part of the area’s quiet charm.
