They have a unique Tier 2 collection of seven treehouses where guests can stay in a castaway eco-style for the duration of their travel in this part of Tanzania. Each of the treehouses has Kiswahili numeric names from one (moja) to seven (saba) and are built distinctly from each other. A couple of these units have two bedrooms and are suitable for families or groups of four guests.



Set at deluxe Tier 2 with 13 rooms, Kinasi Lodge is located in amidst coconut and cashew nut trees and has an enchanting coastal Swahili style décor and architecture with a tinge of Persian Shirazi influence. You can choose from their eight Garden View Rooms or five Seafront Rooms. Some of the rooms have twin beds while others have double beds.
