Unguja Lodge is situated at the Southern tip of Zanzibar, near Kizimkazi Mkunguni. It is a very quiet part of the island with pristine beaches and lush green surroundings. That lodge has 12 spacious self-contained cottages. Some of them have a sea view and a private terrace overlooking the Menai Bay. At the restaurant, everything is made from scratch, even the crisps and the bread rolls.
