I stayed in Kilwa en route to the South for work in the field (left Dar a bit too late in the day to make it farther) so wasn't really looking for a fancy resort or specific amenities- just a place to crash for the night. Kilwa has a lack of 'mid-range' hotels, only very expensive lodges and boutique hotels and very low end places my backpacker brother didn't even want to stay in. I hadn't brought a lot of cash with me for the high-end lodges, so I was a bit worried when I found out we needed to stay the night there.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Kilwa Sea View Hotel offers camping at only $5 per person! the campsite is at the end of the line of hotel rooms, near the edge of the cliff, with nice grass or a big covered bandha with packed dirt floor on which to pitch your tent.

Set on a cliff overlooking beautiful Kilwa Masoko Bay, it is the perfect place to stay to explore the historical ruins on Kilwa Kisiwani Island and Kilwa Kivinje, whilst having a place to relax in comfort. There is a refreshing pool to relax in at any time of the day to cool down and chill out, with the coldest beer in Tanzania we have found! The bungalows are simple and clean, but very comfortable bed, and good shower, with gorgeous views overlooking the bay. The staff are superb, and give top notch service. The food is very tasty, and keeps you looking forward to your next meal (particularly the prawns!). Kilwa Masoko is a traditional bustling village off the beaten track. It is not full of tourists, and the locals are very friendly and interested in you. All the activities available are great fun and very interesting, yet they do not feel touristy, you feel like you are pioneers visiting the ruins, the dhow trip to Kilway Kisiwani is not to be missed to visit the ruins!
