Serena Mountain Lodge (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)
"Syke’s monkey close encounter "
1 night
Arrived
21 Dec 2019
"Atmospheric place. Small, well kitted-out rooms. Close balcony door - or the cheeky Syke’s monkeys will visit to claim sugar sachets in front of you! Excellent food, service and walk in forest. Probable 1-2 nights here would be enough."

"Christmas"
3 nights
Arrived
22 Dec 2019
"Staff and hosts were very friendly and ensured we were able to make the most of our first family safari experience. They created a wonderful memory on Christmas Eve with tree top sun downers singing carols round a fire pit. Sampson our guide ensured we saw everything possible and the best of the conservancy. A climb up Baboon rock, rewarded with drinks and nibbles and being closely watched by hyrax as the sunset was a favourite moment for us all."

"Bliss!
Brilliant Wi-Fi connection even on beach!
New-over bed air-con
We felt very lucky to have been introduced to such an authentic characterful gem - private beach with no beach boys hassling. Plenty of space, spot-on service."

Unguja Lodge
"Unguja Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
2 Jan 2020
"Spacious villas with private West facing cliff top seating area. Quiet. Not quite as characterful as Pongwe however Cracking sunsets, loved watching the local village dhows sail off for nightly fishing, kids loved boat trip to snorkel and see sand spit island.
2 nights here we felt was enough. Ideally would have spent time here first and finished holiday at Pongwe"
