Every day feels like an adventure at Rafiki Residence. The guest house is just a 5-minute walk from the stunning beaches of Paje, where the white sand is as soft as powdered sugar, and the turquoise waters are perfect for diving into.

There are countless places to stay in Zanzibar, but none quite like it.

It’s not just the gorgeous location or the warm weather that draws people in—it’s the people. The staff, the guests, and even the local fishermen who swing by to say hello, all add to the magic that makes Rafiki Residence so special.

It’s a place where you can be yourself, try new things, meet fascinating people, and create memories that will keep you coming back year after year.

Whether you’re kite surfing in the morning, sharing a cold drink with new friends in the afternoon, or dancing until the early hours of the morning, Rafiki Residence feels like the home you want to come back to—like a big, beautiful family made up of people who have never met but will never forget each other.

If you’re looking for more than just a place to stay in Paje, Zanzibar, welcome home.
