Our Story
Intimate.
Authentic.
Unforgettable.
Rafiki Hotel Nungwi Beach is a warm, boutique bed & breakfast nestled just 70 metres from the turquoise waters of Nungwi Beach in Zanzibar.
With only 9 rooms, we offer something the larger resorts can't — genuine care, personal attention, and a real connection to the island you came to discover. Breakfast is served every morning on our rooftop terrace with sea views. The beach is a two-minute walk away.

"Absolutely wonderful. The staff made us feel so at home — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. Breakfast on the rooftop with sea views was the highlight of every morning."

"The location is unbeatable — 2 minutes to the beach. The room was spotless, the AC worked perfectly, and the private balcony was a dream. Would absolutely return."
