9 Days Sands of Time Experience

Located on the seafront in the heart of Stone Town, the Serena Inn is a stunning property that echoes the grandeur of days gone by. The Serena Inn Zanzibar is elegant and romantic and it offers fantastic island hospitality. All 51 bedrooms overlook the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and the lazy dhows that plough beneath the restaurant’s windows. The interiors echo Zanzibar’s rich Arab influence – intricately carved doors and furniture coupled with colourful mosaic flooring.

Serena Inn Zanzibar has 51 bedrooms and a lovely big private swimming pool overlooking the ocean. Each room is cool, white and constructed to the traditional design of a Swahili house, which is dependant upon the length of the mangrove poles that make up its ceilings.

Adorned with arched niches, antique plates and brass lamps and featuring traditionally carved furniture, cool-ceramics, intricate fretwork, draped beds and louver doors giving onto wrought-iron balconies overlooking the Persian-bath pool and azure bay beyond, each room reflects a blend of essential Zanzibar and world-class elegance.

The beautiful Sand Rivers Selous is perched high on a rocky peninsula in the spectacular Selous Game Reserve.

Guests can make the most of a spacious design that welcomes the outside in, with plenty of natural light and cooling breezes right off the river.

Guest areas include a charming dining room where guests can tuck into delicious meals, served on an enormous tree that has been converted into a dining table. Breakfasts are served at the lodge or in the pristine bush. A sparkling swimming pool looks out directly onto the river. A selection of adventures await guests, from exhilarating game drives in open 4×4 safari vehicles to bush walks, fly camping and boat cruises on the Rufiji River.
