Navigation Tip - Go Directly To Prices, Reviews, Map, Photos, Video & Room Rate Guide For Mashariki Palace Hotel
Once the home of the spiritual counsellor to the Sultan, the mid-range Mashariki Palace Hotel has risen like a phoenix out of the rubble of disuse responding to the loving care of its owners. Choose it as your accommodation whilevacationing in the historical settlement of Zanzibar in Tanzania - East Africa and you will be transported to an era of Omani royals. The hotel has 18 rooms in three different categories with the simplistic, yet charming decor of carved doorways, high ceilings and four-poster beds, guaranteed to make your Indian Ocean island travel memorable. The rooms include air-conditioning, safety box, television, tea and coffee maker and wireless internet. Spend time on the sundeck on the second floor and perhaps, listen with fascination to tales of ancient treasure hidden somewhere under the house. The eleven Darajani Superior Rooms are named after the market area of Stone Town while the seven somewhat bigger Forodhani Deluxe Rooms remind you of the ocean and gardens. Some of the Darajani Rooms are built like suites for your comfort. You can also enjoy long siestas on the terraces and balconies or maybe, a soothing massage. Enjoy delicious meals at the Kusi Bar and Restaurant located on the rooftop and order drinks and cocktails served with tapas accompaniments. You can enjoy morning and afternoon tea and coffee along with snacks at the Tea Lounge. Or celebrate a special day in Zanzibar (perfect for honeymooners), with a private meal arranged for you on the terrace top, another cherished memory of your holiday with AfricanMecca.
Follow in their footsteps along the labyrinth alleyways of Stone Town and spend your afternoons surveying the old island city spread out below them from the Mashariki rooftop with the shimmering Indian Ocean, a gorgeous blue, in the distance. The hotel’s proximity to Stone Town’s prime tourist attractions makes it ideal for exploring the tiny stores that line the narrow streets selling you exquisite, hand-created crafts, seafood caught just in the morning, fresh spices and fruits. If you would like to see them growing in their natural state, you must include a visit to the spice farms into your trip, and you will understand why Zanzibari zests such as cloves were a prized commodity in the past. Your knowledgeable AfricanMecca guide will also talk to you about the struggle for control and ownership of the island that was closely linked to the value of the seasonings that grew here. Also, view the unusual fruits like custard apples, durians, shoki-shoki, bungo and so many more. Another must-visit during your stay at Mashariki Palace is an excursion of the Jozani Forest. A dense reserve set aside for the preservation of the red colobus monkey, you will enjoy watching them as they feed and groom their young and forage for food. The jungle also houses many varieties of rare flora and other smaller fauna from varied avian-life to terrestrial arthropods. For a peek into the rich cultural heritage of the island, visit the many architectural wonders that have stood the test of time. For instance, Forodhani Gardens, Sultan’s Palace, The House of Wonders, Anglican Church, Tippu Tip House and many more. Return to the Mashariki Palace Hotel and immerse yourself in the delightful charm of Zanzibari living, enhanced by the attentive care of the staff.

The Zanzibar Stone Town tour guide was superlative. He was outstanding and gave us undivided attention. We felt that was great value and to be escorted round the market place and slave stations was like walking in a living museum.
