With Rufiji Mafia Kilwa Marine Reserve reachable in 6.8 km, Kitu Kiblu offers accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace and a bar. Some units feature a seating area and/or a balcony. When looking for a genuine, immersive and take it is experience Kitu Kiblu is a great choice to take. We spent a wonderful week there and are enthusiastic of all facilities and people; everything is exactly as described in the profile. Accomodations could be choosene to be more discreet (on the trees) or more common and we strongly suggest the second option; apart from an incredible quality/price ratio the whole experience deserves to be done! We appreciated so much to have shower in the jungle surronded by palm leafs and accept a rope is the door for the toilet (yes, it's true and frankly speaking all is priceless!!!!). All the description look a bit as only for brave and indeed this "return to the basic" is exaclty what I think it should be experienced to understand we don't need that much to feel happy, just go back to the essential and appreciate!!! People have been very friendly and inclusive and did their best to let us feel welcomed and help for local activities.

Set within 7.2 km of Rufiji Mafia Kilwa Marine Reserve in Kilindoni, Mgeni Homestay provides accommodation with seating area. I had a wonderful stay at Mgeni Homestay, with both Ally, the owner, and Bunda, the home caretaker, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the house is centrally located in Kilindoni and close to the beach. I would recommend Mgeni to those who are traveling, either alone or in groups, and are looking for a budget and authentic homestay option.

Hotel in Kilindoni ( 1.2 miles)
Set in Kilindoni, 5.5 km from Rufiji Mafia Kilwa Marine Reserve, Mafia Dream Hotel offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. We went as a family with kids. Ofcourse value for money compared to those hotels near to the beach. Mafia is a big island but inhabitants is low. Having said that, this hotel was near to any basic amenities required. It is even just 5 to 7 minutes walk to the domestic airport. The staffs welcomed us very well and made our stay exceptionally perfect. They even organized good deal excursion, we all kids managed to see whale-shark and swim with them at Kilindoni which was 10 minutes drive from this hotel. Even snorkeling and blue-lagoon was amazing at Utende which was about 40 minutes drive. All transport was well provided and taken care of us. Looking forward to be back!
Going to Mafia Island is like going back in the time. Still underdeveloped with not too many locals handling foreign languages but nice people. A lot of chinese low key staff in the boutiques but sometimes quite pricey. Even the beer is cheaper in Europe ! Kilindoni is the main spot and if you don't find a certain thing here , you won't be able to find it on the other part of the island. Island still lacks promotion ( advertising ) and I was disappointed that I wasn't able to find those T shirts with Mafia logo or saying something about the island. I went there for diving - and it turned out to be the most expensive one I had in whole my life - so resume to whale shark watching.until the government change its mind and stops screwing tourists. ( I hope this will happen in the future ). Regarding the diving: I'm an instructor so can lay down a professional thought: good but not outstanding as they brag ... and not worth the money.
Kilindoni
It’s a great hotel if you stay at Mafia Island. It’s in the Capitol of the island but you have to walk a bit to the city center. There’s always transport options. They have also in house agencies for whale shark trips and diving. I can recommend the whale shark trip which was incredible - a lot of whale sharks around me. The food was always good, could be a little bit more to be honest but always worked. The WiFi worked ok, sometimes it has some struggles. The people were always super friendly. The pool and the view were amazing!
Kilindoni
We absolutely loved our stay at Kileleni. It’s a great little hotel, the perfect place to chill out or enjoy the island from. The rooms and grounds are beautifully looked after and the pool is a great spot for a dip. The food was all very nice but the best thing about the place was definitely the staff. Ali and his crew were so kind and friendly, there wasn’t anything they wouldn’t do to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Mafia Island.
it’s private, spacious and fits well with the nature. The bed is comfortable, staff vas very nice and yummy food. There is a choice of fresh seafood for lunch and dinner and fresh fruits available. Th ask pretty much all what we eaten the whole time and was really delicious. There is also a bar and bed hammocks which was great for relaxing. Hassan the host Organise a whale shark tour for us which we really enjoyed as that was the main reason. for visiting Mafia.
Really nice place with great atmosphere, staff really kind, smiley and helpful in everything. Arrange our trips, transfer and all what we need, great food, amazing beach, beautiful sunsets and area near hotel. Perfect place for reset mind and chill. I really recommend juani beach bungalows, if come back on Mafia island im sure that again choose this place
The hotel is relatively new and comfortable for Mafia standards. Nice swimming pool. Be aware that Kilindoni as almost nothing to offer to tourists.
