Mama Root

The beach front. It was very clean. Nice outdoor furniture to relax on. The food was incredible. The hosts were very welcoming.

Nothing. Everything was very nice.

For us this place was a 10/10. It is such a nice place where you can actually feel at home. The house has so many details. Right on the beach with a lovely garden where you can hang out to relax. The staff is very friendly, the food is nice. The breakfast is amazing with fresh fruits. We can highly recommend Kizimkazi over the crowded touristic places on Zanzibar.

My stay at Mama Root in Kizimkazi was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and belonging that is incredibly rare to find when traveling. The house is right by the sea, and waking up to the sound of the waves and the gentle ocean breeze felt like a dream. Every corner of the place radiates warmth, simplicity, and authentic charm. It’s not just a beautiful location — it’s a place with a true soul. What makes Mama Root absolutely unforgettable is Olivia, the heart and soul of this special place. Olivia is one of the sweetest and most welcoming person I have ever met. Her kindness, her genuine smile, and her natural ability to make you feel comfortable create an atmosphere that feels like home from the very first moment. She doesn’t just welcome guests — she makes you feel part of something meaningful. I left a piece of my heart there. This place will stay with me forever, and I know I will never forget the serenity, warmth, and love I experienced. If you are looking for more than just accommodation — if you are looking for a place that truly touches your heart — Mama Root is something incredibly special. I cannot recommend it enough.
