The food was fantastic, breakfast, with pancakes, omelettes, eggs which every way you want, fruit to your hearts desire, cakes, breads, and the best coffee on the north side of the island. Dinner was different every night; we truly looked forward to each dinner to see what they were going to dish up for us.
We even had a braai (barbeque) with the best chops I have ever had. The first night the Kilimanjaro Acrobatic entertained us with their awesome acrobatic show, those guys are really good.
The beers were always cold, and served with a smile. Juma & Coco taught us with much patience the game of Bao, and were always up for a game. Nassor the owner always around with advice and good conversation.
The swimming pool is clean and very refreshing when the tied is out, but yet you still have view of the ocean. Is there anything better in the world than to take you afternoon nap next to the pool?
When you have a moment visit with Berina at the spa, she will give you the most beautiful henna tattoo, she’s a true artist. If you need a pedicure or manicure, or even a massage she can do it all.
The lazy evenings after dinner were spent in the hammocks, or beach beds. We also had the privilege of full moon.
We never felt that the staff intruded on our space, but were always just there when you needed refreshments.
Why would you want to watch television when you have a national geographic view right on your doorstep, if you do need entertainment - read a book – its much more educational? If you didn’t bring one, Mnarani Beach Cottages Zanzibar Tanzania have quite the library.
If you really do have to watch TV you can always do so in the open air bar area, or you can catch up with friends and family via email in the library.
Even though the cottages is not on the same level as the beach, you only have to walk down the steps to explore the beach, which is not a white sandy beach this time of year, due to the tides, but there are month in the year that this beach is really a white sandy beach.
There are loads to explore when the tide is out. We saw the most amazing star fish and walked with the woman looking for squid. When the tide is in you can go for a swim right from you doorstep almost.
If you want to go to Mnemba Island for snorkelling just ask the resident skipper, Mnarani has its own boat, so you don’t have to go search around for a dive experience of note a Mnemba.
We always felt save (not that you ever feel unsafe in Zanzibar) but Mnarani have security staff doing their rounds at night.
