We had an unusual find on Sange Beach, as we found not one, but 2 chambered nautilus shells, over the past 18 months. Unusual enough that when asked, the local fishermen, had no idea on what they were and had never seen one before. This caused quite a stir among the local fisherman, as to what this strange shell was, and intrigue for us, so we looked for more information about them....

Greater Flamingos visit Kijongo

We had an unusual surprise one morning, right in front of Kigongo Bay Resort, a flock of greater flamingos, floating on the calm surface of the ocean. A quick rub of the eyes and yes, they were still there. Around 40 of these large bright pink birds were forming a raft in the bay.

As you walk around the gardens at Kijongo Bay Resort, you may be fortunate enough to see some strange nests amongst the leaves, these nests are made by weaver ants. We were quite intrigued by these nests, and so did some research and found them to be very interesting, and thought we would share this info with you.

Sunbird Diet

Did you know that sunbirds are omnivorous? A sunbirds' diet is made up primarily of nectar, around 95%. They will, however, sometimes eat fruit and arthropods (insects and spiders). Sunbirds need to feed almost continually during the day to meet their high metabolic needs..

Pollen is how plants reproduce, as pollinators move from flower to flower, they deposit the collected pollen from flower to flower, basically allowing the plants to mate.

Perfect Relaxation
In January we were able to spend 5 days here before our onward journey to Zanzibar. Everything we had hoped for was confirmed: idyll, peace, sandy beach and, above all, great hosts who gave us valuable tips on all our questions. The staff was super friendly and always looked after us. There was nothing to complain about, that's how we imagine relaxation :-). Thanks to the great team. Uwe... Read this review

Fantastisch!!!!!
Kijongo Resort is a paradise for those seeking tranquility. There are plenty of opportunities to engage in activities. However, the first recommendation in the information booklet is: "do nothing!" The location certainly invites this. The staff, the food, and the location are amazing! I It does take some effort to get there, but it is definitely worth it.

Ein Besuch im Paradies
Ein wunderbares Ressort. Wir waren 7 Nächte dort, genossen ein Mitarbeiter Team das sehr freundlich war und uns verwöhnte mit bestem Services und grosser Herzlichkeit. Es gab ein passendes Angebot für die Freizeit, z.B. Bootstour zu den Corallenriffen um zu schnorcheln, Kanutouren in die Mangroven, Massage allerbester Qualität und einer Geschäftsleitung für die guter Service sehr wichtig ist, aber auch versteht, individuell auf die Wünsche der Gäste einzugehen.

Peace & Tranquility with Great Service
(Translated by Google) We stayed at this amazing place for a week. If you are looking for silence combined with great service and lovingly furnished houses, you have come to the right place. The beach is gorgeous, like Robinson Crusoe on his deserted island. The variety of butterflies and birds is also worth a visit. The lucky ones will be woken up at night by the bush babies. You...

Wunderschöner, ruhiger Ort mitten in einem Garten Eden
Wir haben gleich zu Beginn unserer 6-wöchigen Tanzaniareise das KijongoBay ausgewählt, um anzukommen und den Alltags-Stress aus Europa hinter uns zu lassen. Und der Ort ist perfekt dafür; kilometerlanger Sandstrand ohne lästige Verkäufer oder Beachboys, die Dachterrasse mit Tagesbett, Aussicht aufs Meer und einer kühlen Meeresbrise, und nicht zuletzt das wundervolle Personal, dass sich ums Wohl der Gäste sorgt und die wunderschöne Gartenanlage pflegt.Täglich kommen Vögel, Affen und kleine...

Karl är verkligen en kunnig guide.Trevligt och familjärt att resortens manager (Karl och Sally) jobbade ute och delade med sig av sina kunskap om livet i Tanzania och allt annat vi...

Wonderful family holiday!
We have just returned from the most wonderful week at Kijongo Bay. Our 3 children (3, 7 and 10) had the best time. The beach was fantastic and very safe to swim in and then we had the added bonus of having a pool too! The food was great and if there were things the kids struggled with, we simply asked for a variation which was no problem. All... Read this review

Our family of five visited Kijongo Bay Beach Resort in August 2021. We have been trying to return for several months and will be visiting again soon. It is AWESOME in the true sense of the word, not the overused phrase of today. The location is spectacular with all villas and the communal dining and pool area all facing the ocean. We arrived at lunchtime, planning to stay two... Read this review

Wer Ruhe und Geborgenheit möchte ist hier genau richtig
Nach unserer zweiwöchigen Selbstfahrer Reise, mit vielen wechselnden Unterkünften haben wir hier 6 wundervolle Nächte verbracht. Wir wurden herzlich von Carl und Sally mit ihrem Team begrüßt, da wir etwas spät dran waren hatten Sie sich gesorgt ob wir vor Dunkelheit noch ankommen und uns dann per Telefon versucht zu erreichen. Es war so schön wie Sally sich um uns gesorgt hatte und sich richtig freute dass wir gut... Read this review
