We stayed 3 nights and were very happy with our beach front rondavel and all the very delicious and plentiful meals. The Italian couple running it are very hospitable and helpful. We visited the other 3 main lodges in Kilwa whilst we were there and knew we had made the right choice. The 6 rondavels are spacious, comfortable and had... More

I went to Kimbilio Lodge last July and it was a fantastic place to stay, and I thoroughly recommend visiting the Kilwa region.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights during our 3 week trip around Tanzania earlier this Summer, and these days were without a doubt one of the highlights of the whole trip. We were recommended Kilwa as somewhere a little different to try, and we couldn't believe how much it had to offer. Kilometres of empty white beach... More

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Kimbilio Lodge as the Italian owners are great people, friendly, professional and always available, but also nice and informal, they don't give you that detached feeling that you often get when you sleep at a guest house. My impression is that they really enjoy to have guests and are always please to satisfy one's... More

Charming and relaxing..... a beautiful corner of Africa, a wonderful beach and the best sea you can imagine. The lodge is fascinating and you won't forget easily the lights of the night; the staff is very friendly and will make your stay really entertaining.... What to say more? I'm looking forward to be there again, hopefully very soon! More

Kilwa is an incredible place and Kimbilio's the perfect location to see it all from. The staff are delightful, great fun and always going that extra mile, and the food and drinks are excellent. Great place to relax but also loads to do and a very easy place to spend some time - I ended up staying about a week... More
