What our clients say..
“We had a relaxing stay at Matemwe Lodge in Zanzibar which again exceeded our expectations. The bungalow we stayed in was wonderful and the food could not be better. We were able to take advantage of the water sports on offer and spent some time kayaking and snorkelling.”

ACTIVITIES

At Matemwe Bungalows the tides govern the rhythm of the day. At high tide the fisherman stream across the lagoon in their billowing dhows, delivering a dream opportunity for any photographer – and the lodge is a daily stop for the fishermen who sell fresh crab, lobster and fish to Matemwe for lunches and dinners. At low tide the sea goes right out revealing a fascinating reef which you can explore for hours.
