Frequently asked
- What counts as a boutique hotel in Zanzibar?
- Usually under 25 rooms, independently owned, with a distinct design and a kitchen rather than a buffet. Many sit directly on the beach at Jambiani, Matemwe or Michamvi.
- Do boutique lodges arrange airport pick up?
- We arrange it for you at a fixed price per vehicle, tracked against your flight number, so it is one booking rather than two.
