BA messed around with the flight from London so we were several hours late getting into Dar. This might have been a worry in other circumstances but not for J-P our pilot who just waited for us and flew us down to the island. We touched down on the mainland to clear immigration (Visas are now a welcoming $80 a... More

Arriving by private charter from Ibo Island, we were greeted by a delightful team. A drive through the bush brought us to Vamizi Island Lodge. Stunning villas with a beautiful stretch of beach. Activities are well organised and you can have your own private picnic at one of three locations about 20-30 minutes away from the villas. All on your... More

After a friend's recommendation I booked a ten day break to recharge my batteries at Vamizi Island & returned home a few days ago. The 'Wow' factor is an understatement when you eventually, after a safari style transfer from the airstrip, arrive at the Lodge: met with big smiles & chilled scented towels, then led through to the enormous bar/lounge...

What we wanted from Vamizi was stunning surroundings, gorgeous rooms, great diving, privacy, excellent food and on all of these it absolutely delivered. If... More

I can only reiterate previous reviews by saying Vamizi is without a doubt the most luxurious and idyllic place I have ever stayed. The staff couldn’t be faulted, the food was superb, the villas spacious and private and the beach and snorkelling have to be seen to be believed. However, this kind of luxury in such a remote place comes... More
