born, a mixture of African Bantu, Persian
Shiraz, Middle East and even Asian
culture laid their roots on the island and
its people.
Various people from all over the world
venture off to this island for the ultimate
beach, snorkeling and seafood

Being near to the equator, the islands are
warm year round and very humid.
July in Zanzibar is actually one of the
cooler months with average daytime
temperatures hitting the 26°C. The
average water temperature in the seas
around the area is the same at 26°C
making July one of the best months overall
for water based activities.

coconut palms and white sands.
Matemwe beaach is one of the most
peaceful places on this tropical island.
With a shallow, coral - fringed lagoon it's
a perfect place to relax, and unwind after
a busy day. The beach itself is
magnificent – over 20 kilometers of
perfect white sand.

3. A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRIP
Your Retreat Venue is a Tamani Villas. From its very inception, Tamani
Villas was always going to be more than a luxury travel destination.
Tamani Villas is a part of Tamani Foundation.
Tamani foundation is a non-profit organization located in north-east
Zanzibar in the village of Matemwe, whose vision is to support the local
residents in their pursuit of high quality early childhood and adult
education.
This has been possible by establishing a thriving nursery school (on the
picture) for children ages 4 to 6, and adult classes to bring the benefits of
education to both generations.
The nursery program builds a strong foundation for the youngsters
to continue their primary education, while the adult program in
English and Computer provide adult learners with the essential
tools required to attain a job opportunity in Zanzibar’s thriving
tourism industry.
To fund the running of the foundation, we have our beautiful
beach villas with private swimming pools that we have for rent. All
proceeds from the villas are directly channeled to the running of
the school. Your next holiday at Tamani Villas can make a change
for the people of Matemwe. Welcome – Karibu Sana!
