Situated on the North Eastern coast of Zanzibar, about 45 minutes from the airport, Azanzi is a luxury boutique beach hotel with 35 rooms - a mix of suites and stand-alone villas. The main hotel has multi-level viewing decks with swimming pool, bar and dining area overlooking the Indian Ocean. Azanzi was the first lodge in Africa to offer unique glass bottom sea kayaks, designed to magnify the marine life below. The excellent onsite dive centre is a good base from which to explore the nearby Mnemba Atoll.
