What to expect

Welcome to Tatu’s Family Homestay - Embrace Zanzibari Life near the Sea - Village Stay: In the heart of Jambiani village, just a 2-minute walk from the white sand beach, Tatu welcomes you into her vibrant family life. A mother of five, including spirited 8-year-old triplets, she offers more than just a place to stay – you’ll become part of the family. Share meals, cook together, or join her in exploring local women’s crafts. Her husband, an electrician, returns home in the evenings, and the children are always ready to sing, play, or show you around the village. Your cosy guest room provides comfort and privacy, while the courtyard, surrounded by swaying palms, invites you to relax. Just around the corner, small shops offer daily essentials. Don’t miss the Handmade Ribbon Curtain Workshop – a creative community project where local women turn recycled materials into beautiful art while strengthening social bonds.
