I booked this trip to Zanzibar the week before leaving from London, and I didn't know I would find another home at Tumbo. I am a solo female traveller, and I never felt so at home while travelling. The property is just a few minutes from the beach, which has the most amazing sea. Kairo is different from any other part of the island; it's the authentic local African experience that will bring you out of the capitalist, modern life back to a simple, pure life. It's also calmer and less touristy, with a peaceful grounding vibe. The house has everything you need for a perfect stay; I was travelling while also working from here, and the WIFI at the house allowed me to do so, while I could get a dip in the Indian Ocean between meetings. It was a true return to the real meaning of life! I booked two weeks initially, but I extended it to two months! Shout-out to Darling Tala, the property manager, who is always available to help with anything you need. She is not just the property Manager now, but a real friend! I will always return to my dear Tumbo Villa!

Venlig værtinde, tæt på strand og landsby. Stor hjertelighed, hjælpsomhed og samtidig lidt udenfor al ting. Vidunderlig strand med Ebbe og flod. Dejligt easygoing. Vi kunne fint lave mad selv - med områdets grøntsager.
Ind i mellem gik strømmen, men kom hurtigt igen vha generator. På en måde en del af charmen ved at være lige netop i Kiwengwa (Cairo)

De super vriendelijke gastvrouw heeft ons rondgeleid door het dorp en de verschillende eetgelegenheden laten zien en de winkeltjes. We konden met vragen altijd bij haar terecht. Het appartement ligt midden in een dorpje waar de tijd nog heeft stilgestaan. Maar dit zal niet lang duren, gezien de diverse bouwlocaties. Voor de wat uitgebreidere boodschappen moet je een stukje wandelen, circa 25 min of een taxi nemen. Stroomstoringen kwamen voor maar een generator zorgde ervoor dat we daar nauwelijks last van hadden. Fijne plek en dankzij de gastvrouw voelde we ons al snel thuis.
Niets.
