Reviews for The Residence Zanzibar
July 26
A beautiful resort to end our safari adventures in Kenya and Tanzania. After so many early starts and exhilarating days, the Residence was the perfect place to relax and unwind before heading home

Experience luxury in Zanzibars south in THE RESIDENCE
Excellent holiday experience. Seaside villa with pool was fantastic. Food, staff and all amenities impressive and on high level. Recommandation for a luxurious holiday in remarkable garden surroundings. The largest and best hotel-pool we ever experienced. Great.

Beautiful Resort
The staff were so kind, hospitable and attentive. One employee in particular named Mercy went above and beyond to help us locate our delayed baggage from the airport when we were unable to reach the airport staff, which took so much stress out from of vacation. Lastly, the views and this resort are breathtaking! Our experience in Zanzibar was great. A very memorable six days.
