Basecamp Mafía Island ★★★
"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!"

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 ★★★
"I can easily say this is the best stay I have experienced. Our room was beautiful, clean and tidy. The bed was huge and super comfy. The food every night was so delicious, everything from the coconut chutney to the salad at lunch and the meat was absolutely perfect. Service was again, the best I have ever experienced, we had umbarellas dropped to our room when it was raining and when I was sunburnt Adie brought fresh aloe Vera! A very thoughtful and well put together team, who, when short staffed worked super hard to keep us happy. Thank you so much Francesca and Marco for having us, and teaching us so much about the island!! Hopefully see you next year! X"
