Basecamp Mafía Island
9.4 (48 reviews)

Basecamp Mafía Island ★★★

📍 utende street, Utende

"Mafia Island Basecamp has a wonderful ocean view, beautiful property, and spacious updated rooms. The rooms are very comfortable with double shower, air conditioner, hairdryer, and in room tea/coffee. The staff is friendly and very accommodating! I enjoyed the food (large portions and tasty), the only thing I would add is regular coffee (rather than cappuccino/latte) and pina coladas (there are other cocktails offered but with all the coconuts around I was craving a pina colada). The beach bar is exceptional for a nice Indian Ocean breeze. The pool is absolutely amazing! Saltwater and not brutally cold like some, yet still so refreshing! I didn’t try scuba or whale shark swimming, but the lodge was happy to arrange these things as well as other tours if I needed. The massage also was excellent. I believe this property is the best one if truly want to be right on the ocean! I would come back!"

Eco Shamba Kilole Lodge ★★★

📍 Utende, Mafia

"Marco, Francesca and their team is very welcoming. The food was sublime! It is always nice to be somewhere peaceful, where you also find people involved in the community. Eco Shamba Kilole is ideal for lovers and birders. The flying foxes are just right by the lodge. Nice mangroves forest line just along the land. We had a great time there to decompress!"

"The beds were very comfortable, and the pillows were perfect. The service was great, but the food could be better. The pool was okay but not very clean. With better food and cleanliness, it would be a great stay!…………………………… sante sana!!!!!!"

Meremeta Lodge ★★★
"I stayed at Meremeta Lodge as a solo female traveler and remote worker, and it exceeded expectations Location is great: Just outside the entrance to the Marine Park, but you’re still a short walk (30m) away from the park gate. Even nerarer by provided bikes. Clever and convenient. Not beachfront, and that’s a plus: Peaceful, secluded, surrounded by nature. Ideal for focus. Great value for money. Reliable power and internet: I had zero issues working online. This place is remote-work friendly, no doubt. That feels like a real luxury in some islands off the Tanzanian coast. Diving paradise: Easy access to world-class dive sites. I did a lot of dives during my stay and loved being able to walk everywhere while still clocking steps. Nutritious meals: The food is clean and energizing—perfect for anyone working or diving all day. Highly recommended if you're looking to unplug, dive deep (literally and mentally), and get meaningful work done."

Kitu Kiblu ★★
"If you are looking for the paradise, I reccomend to stay some days at Kitu Kiblu on Mafia Island. The accomodations are simply amazing, falling asleep and waking up with the sound of the ocean and some monkeys jumping around is frankly priceless. Every single person at Kitu Kiblu is extremely kind and welcoming and we really felt at home. The food is amazing, they even had a lot of vegetarian food! The sharkwhale watching day was perfectly organized and amazing even though we were not lucky as we were the out of season! We definitely recommend to stay here!"

Eco Shamba Kilole Lodge ★★★
"We spent a week in this paradise, it was amazing. Marco and Francesca were great hosts, we felt great in their perfectly designed, built and maintained resort. We really appreciate the dinners with them on the last day of the year, it was like we were family :-) It was great that they recommended a number of activities for us (snorkeling, swimming with whale sharks, visiting the village on the island and more) and organized transportation. Everything went exactly as we agreed, and in the evening we always talked informally about how our day had been, what we have planned for the next few days and we also talked about other topics - how life is going :-) The cuisine in the resort and the service were impeccable, the willingness of the staff and the amazing aesthetic and taste experience with each meal were additional bonuses of this stay. Marco and Francesca, thank you and we remember you! :-) Martin, Monika and Alex"
