A testament to Zanzibar's traditional charm, Promised Land Lodge is ideally situated just a kilometer from the village of Kizimkazi Mtendeni, on the southern coast of the island. As you arrive, you're enveloped by the verdant embrace of a tropical garden, a prelude to the tranquil experience that awaits. The lodge presents an effortless blend of rustic elegance and local craftsmanship, with each room adorned in locally crafted furnishings that echo the island's heritage. You're greeted by friendly staff at a welcoming 24-hour front desk, ready to assist you in organizing your adventures or simply ensuring your stay is comfortable. The restaurant, though small in menu, savors the essence of Zanzibar, emphasizing local cuisine and fresh seafood that pays homage to the marine bounty just beyond your door. Every element here is designed for relaxation; the inviting beach beds and hammocks beckon you to unwind while you soak in the sun-kissed ocean views.

Explore the Local Area

Promised Land Lodge offers easy access to the adventures of Zanzibar. Just 2.5 km away lies the historic Kizimkazi Old Mosque, while the surrounding area is a playground for the adventurous-snorkeling, fishing, cycling, and diving await just beyond the lodge's serene perimeter. The lodge's private beach area invites guests to indulge in aquatic activities or simply unwind with the sound of waves lapping at the shore. The vibrant environment of Kizimkazi provides a glimpse into the island's authentic culture, with charming markets and local eateries dotting the landscape. Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is a straightforward 75 km drive, making your arrival a breeze into this coastal paradise.

Room Information

Promised Land Lodge features a selection of 10 thoughtfully designed rooms and bungalows, each reflecting traditional Zanzibarian aesthetics. The accommodations include a mix of configurations-double, quadruple, and family bungalows-designed to cater to various needs. All rooms are equipped with private bathrooms featuring either a bath or shower, complimentary toiletries, and amenities that enhance comfort: fans, electric kettles, and mosquito nets draping the beds. Some rooms enjoy stunning views of the ocean or the lush garden, and all offer a tranquil space imbued with local artistry and warmth, with designated seating areas and terraces for outdoor relaxation.

Room Upgrades

For those seeking a more spacious experience, consider the family bungalow, spanning approximately 860 sq ft, offering two separate rooms, a private terrace, and a seating area. Room configurations include a quadruple room with garden and pool views, and a triple room that provides direct access to the lodge's refreshing pool. The lodge also features enticing private entrances for select units, allowing for increased privacy and a more personalized experience. Each room upgrade enhances your stay with extraordinary touches; from the spacious seating areas to the terraces with outdoor dining furniture, these upgraded offerings ensure your time at Promised Land Lodge is as memorable as the island itself.

“This Zanzibari lodge, with its local decor and lush tropical gardens, offers a unique beachfront experience. I think families seeking both relaxation and adventure will appreciate the recreational activities available, like snorkeling and cycling, along with the convenient access to Kizimkazi village. A stay here promises a genuine taste of Zanzibar.”
