"We all wanted to say thank you - we had the most magical time. Your house is beautiful as is Paje and we were so well looked after by both Ali and team, We did not want to leave! We are hoping to come back at some point in the future"
Sally, UK. nov.09

I stayed in "mr. Todays" villa for a month, together with my wife and to friends with a 1,5 year old child. It is a very nice peaceful, private, spacious villa, surrounded by bush and gardens, on a large complex containing 2 villas. We were welcomed in a very pleasant way, by "Ali" the house manager.
Leo & Karin, Holland june .09

My good friend and I stayed here at Bushman's Hideout (one of the Zanzibar villas) for almost a week, in celebration of our successful climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. This was a peaceful, secure, and private hideout, complete with hammock and canopy beds. The main room is wide open and spacious with incredibly high thatched roof. This is a BEAUTIFUL home...
