Mizingani Seafront Hotel – Zanzibar, Tanzania

Summary The hotel is located in one of Zanzibar’s busiest streets which was perfect for me who travelled down solo. Mizingani is close to absolutely everything. When I first got there I had no idea what to expect when it came to safety for solo traveling girls like me. I was truly taken well good care of by the staff and they always made sure that all my questions were answered and that I got everything I needed. Whilst I was still in Serengeti National Park waiting for my flight home to Zanzibar my friend Jeanette arrived a few hours before me. I’m so thankful that she could stay and wait for me there even though we were going to stay somewhere else. The hotel staff’s service was excellent. The security guys helped us with carrying our luggages to our next hotel accommodation which was located a few minutes away. Sometimes during a late night, these guys would walk us home to our hotel just to make sure we got there safely. Now, who does that? Mizingani does not have their own car or driver but ask them to ask for Khassim. He is a private driver and a man of words. He won’t hustle you and he is someone you can truly rely on. My room was always clean and every night housekeeping will spray mosquito repellent to give an extra night protection. And I have to mention that the Wifi can sometimes be quite slow so be patient! Thank you Mizingani and team for having me! And oh, ask for the Tippu tip room if you want an overlooking view of the Indian Ocean.
