What our guests are saying about Vamizi

"Definitely the best seaside holiday resort in Africa if not the world! Well done - keep it up." K Graham, February 2013

"Everything was just perfect. Beyond the expectations!" Mr & Mrs Muramoto, December 2012

"It was really quite magical ..... For us the fact that it was an eco-lodge was actually an important aspect of the place and we hadn’t really appreciated that. We felt great about not having airconditioning, low levels of lighting, going to the dining room barefoot, meeting the WWF representative, and finding out that of the staff of 150 people, 10 were hired full-time to watch the turtles." Mrs Neville, October 2012

" It really did live up to all expectations and more. It seemed that all the best bits of the other islands and lodges were all combined in to one at Vamizi. Management was fantastic and the rooms and food were all just 5*." L.Craig, October 2012

"Beautiful island. Stunning villa. Amazing food! Vamizi has been amzing - simply the best holiday we have ever had." Phil Robinson, September 2012

"Outstanding, stunning (nature), absolutely relaxing (mind, body and soul). The overall experience was far beyond expectations! This is the most beautiful place and the absolute best service we have ever experienced! The natural friendliness of the people is amazing, so is the beauty of the nature. Thank you!" Adrian Locher, August 2012

"We really enjoyed our stay. We like the lodge's focus on sustainable development, preserving the reef, and helping the community develop in ways that will benefit them and the environment. I enjoyed Hungry's tour of the island and was impressed by Ty's systematic approach to reducing the carbon footprint. The Friday cocktail party on the Dhow was really special." Jeff Miller, July 2012

"The absolute highlight of this holiday, and any holiday before that, was the exceptional Vamizi Island. Barefoot luxury, divine food, topnotch service, incredible villas with beautiful minimalistic design, great snorkeling and other water activities and evening drinks at the Tusitiri dhow. You just want to stay here forever. After his visit Daniel Craig said that “a piece of my heart will stay on Vamizi”. We can only agree and say thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience this perfect place and for making our holiday the best ever!" Ann Bjork, July 2012
