Kimbilio lodge

A fantastic place to get away from the regular commercialised establishments. The accomodation is simple but very comfortable . The chalets are literally on the beach. Food and service was excellent. The Italian caretakers are extremely helpful and interesting to talk with. I certainly recommend Kimbilio as a great place to stay. Be sure to set aside a day or 2 to visit the ruins . It is worth going with a guide to the ruins.

Kimbilio is a pearl! Located in the centre of the kilwa masoko as grate sea,secluded area, high level of comfort, manager Omari and waiter Hawa are very good , Try Efron cuisine , is very good. I also would like to thank the general manager Betty for the fantastic job whe she have done in training the staff. I'll come back for more days!

Secret paradise on a still secluded beach!

We have been living in Lindi for a developmental aid project for 2 years and the Kimbilio Lodge was our hideaway from all the work and difficulties of life/the world/the divergent culture.
Small Bandas (circular huts) directly at the beach with comfortable beds (strong mattresses, separate bathroom), morning view of the rising sun over the ocean with the beach 2 meters away, very friendly staff, amazing Swahili-Italian-Fusion kitchen, and a surrounding hardly describable!

There is Kilwa Kisiwani, the ancient arabic trade town of the 14th - 16th century. There are places to snorkel, with fishes and coral reeves, there is places to hike, and so on. The Selous Game Reserve is close.

If you happen to come around the region of south east Tanzania, you have to check in here.

One of the best Lodge in Kilwa, Meals are mostly Seafood and prepared on request. Very nice place with beach, and very cool environment for relaxing.

We stayed 3 nights at Kilimbilio as first stop on our southern Tanzania trip. It is a great base to visit the UNESCO world heritage sites Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara, (half) day trips are easily organised at the lodge. The lodge is practically on the beach, which is quiet during the day but late in the afternoon it comes to life with families from the nearby fishing village on their afternoon stroll and children swimming in the sea, all with a very calm vibe. You can watch the dhows and canoes returning to the small harbour from the deck. Food is amazing, we had fresh fish, lobster and octopus. Highly recommended.

Down to earth, simple but comfortable, beautiful location, warm ocean, scenic snorkelling, large tasty local meal, friendly staff.
Swim with dinoflagellates!

Ambiente meraviglioso per un relax totale. Bungalows puliti ed accoglienti. Cibo delizioso. Staff ben al di sopra dello standard tanzaniano.

Lodge molto curato direttamente sulla spiaggia di Kilwa Masoko. Cucina deliziosa e vasta scelta di alcolici. Possibilità di organizzare uscite in barca per visitare i siti di Kilwa Kisiwani e Songi Mnara, e fare dello snorkeling. Consigliatissimo.
