Kinasi Lodge - Mafia  Island

 

 

 

Kinasi is a small private lodge situated in a coconut and cashew plantation facing Chole Bay on Mafia Island. The intention behind the design and existence of Kinasi was to create a resort that was relaxing and stylish, and with a very personal feel; this vision was achieved. Kinasi Lodge is beautifully furnished with antiques and handcrafted furniture, made especially for the lodge to their own specifications.



Mafia Island is approximately 30 miles off the Tanzanian coast, about 45 minutes by air from Dar es Salaam and one hour from the Selous Game Reserve and Zanzibar Island. The island was a regular stop for two thousand years for Arab and Persian dhows plying the coastal waters from the Gulf to Madagascar and Mozambique. Chole Bay, Mafia's protected deep-water anchorage and the original harbor, is studded with islands, sandbanks and beaches. The clear, protected waters offer wonderful snorkeling, sailing and swimming.

What is so Special about Kinasi?

• Kinasi Lodge provides a high standard of accommodation in only twelve bungalows(one is a family unit with two bedrooms), each with a large verandah and ensuite bathroom.
• The bungalows have been constructed in rendered concrete block, with palm-leaf (makuti) roofs, and concrete foundations and floors.
• Mains electricity and hot/cold water supply from three permanent wells on the property is available all day.

          

                    Meals and Drinks at Kinasi Lodge.
• The dining room is appointed with crockery and hand-blown glassware made especially for Kinasi Lodge along with original works of art by East African artisans.
• Kinasi's catering is based upon locally caught seafood: fresh fish, prawns, crab, lobster, octopus and calamari, with fresh vegetables and fruit flown from the mainland. The breads, rolls, pizzas and variety of yogurts, preserves and sauces are all home made from traditional recipes. Seafood barbecues and Swahili cuisine are established Kinasi customs.
• Friendly staff will do their best to look after you with service to your rooms:
morning tea and coffee with fresh biscuits and cakes, sundowners and cocktails.
