When visiting Kijongo Bay Beach Resort, one of the things our guests often comment on, is our incredible dawn chorus. Having well established gardens, with most of our bushes and trees being indigenous, we attract a lot of birds to Kijongo. This dawn chorus can range between subtle to loud, starting just before sunrise, to around a half hour after the sun rises. Bird song is a thing of beauty from the...

Kingfishers of Kijongo Bay and Surrounds

With Kijongo Bay Beach Resort being next to two bodies of water, namely the Indian Ocean and the Msangazi River and mangrove forest, we are in a very favourable position for seeing kingfishers. Not to forget Saadani National Park, which is close by and also being a great area to spot kingfishers. As a species, kingfishers are very extensive, however with around ½ of all kingfishers not fishing or even eating fish,...

AWESOME
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 More

Escape to Paradise
Our family of five (including one teen, one tween, one child) had a fabulous visit to Kijongo Bay Beach Resort. It was our first visit. We had booked originally for two nights, but decided to stay a third night because the accommodation, location, food and service were so exceptional. We definitely plan to return. The co-managers, Sally and Karl, and the staff team members were exceptional. The kitchen was... Read More

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 More

Wonderful place to stay
I went there with my family for four nights on full boarding. We also had a one day safari drive to Saadani National Park. The place is very welcoming and very close to the beach. It is an excellent place to relax for family. The managers and the whole team made sure that we have everything we needed. The food was unbelievable. In short, I would recommend the hotel...

Jag spenderade blott två dagar på Kijongo Bay men hade en riktig toppentid. Som en ännu oupptäckt pärla ligger det precis vid stranden, har en toppenpersonal och är det miljömässigt mest genomtänkta ställe jag besökt. En lugn resort med intim känsla som jag skulle rekommendera främst för par som vill ha en lugn, romantisk resa och/eller familjer som vill ha en lugn, lite lyxigare upplevelse med möjlighet till aktiviteter....

Wat een prachtige plek! Vooral de lieve Michelle en Jiri maken een verblijf op deze plek een prachtige ervaring. Tijdens onze rondreis konden wijnhelaas maar 1 nacht blijven. Maar de herinnering aan het slapen onder de sterren, de persoonlijke aandacht, de mooie gesprekken met Jiri en Michelle tijdens zonsondergang onder een eeuwenoude Baobab en niet te vergeten een verrukkelijk diner gedekt op een tafel op het strand, het zand...

Just returned from a second trip to Kijongo Bay and again we had the place to ourselves! It is a 40 minute trip from the airstrip but as my father said" I never thought I'd visit a place like this in my lifetime!" The beach is long, clean and deserted. The staff are exceptional and the villas are exquisite. In addition the food is delicious. If go to Zanzibar... Read More

This is a great place to relax. Far off everything else you can escape the busy Western World and get new energy and inspiration by the beautiful nature around it. We as a couple highly enjoyed the beautiful sundowner set up at the salt panels and a very lovely boat ride into the mangroves with the best hosts in the world Jiri and Michelle. Very remote and unspoilt beach,... Read More

Die Anfahrt ist etwas irritierend und äußerst abenteuerlich. Sobald man durch das Eingangstor gelangt ist, wähnt man sich in einer anderen Welt. Direkt am indischen Ozean gelegen befinden sich 7 zweistöckige Villen mit großem Balkon in einem palmenreichen Grundstück. Dazu ein offener und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichteter Restaurant/Bar-Bereich und ein toller Swimmingpool. Man fühlt sich sofort heimisch und wohl. Michelle und Jiri mit ihren freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Mitarbeitern sorgen für... Read More
