In superlatives
After two stays and before two more, I can only say superlatives (with delicious coffee 😁) about what delighted me in PiliPili, Jambiani or Zanzibar 🥰
Iwona from Nowy Wiśnicz
We survived the massacre
We have been in PiliPili hotels for almost a month. Unfortunately, we survived the massacre! The day of departure was a massacre! 😭🥺 Besides: service, employees, food, drink and all the rest AWESOME !!!
Darek from Görlitz
Everything is perfect
I like everything very much! And most importantly, all the guests, the community we create, evening parties, food, nature, ocean, monkeys, fish ... Everything is perfect, it is divine, it is wonderful, I miss it already ...
Mira from Sweden
PiliPili connects people
I've been twice, I'll be the third time 🥰 and I'm already thinking about the fourth 🤣 (...) Never in many years of traveling with a travel agency to various beautiful places, I have never met so many wonderful people. This magic that will "work" made us all come to Anna of Zanzibar and we will be there only because there are so many of us. PiliPili connects people, and this is probably what we need the most right now.
Agnieszka from Opole
Magic
I will briefly say MAGIC. This island attracts like a magnet. I don't know how, but it makes me think about this place all the time.
Maciej from Zalesie Górne
It comes back like a family
Because I am happy there and so calm, because I come back to my family with preserves, galoshes, gifts, because you miss this place and people smiling, with positive energy (...) I love this place 😊
Renata from Kłodzko
Unlike anywhere else
It cannot be described, you just have to experience it. Wildness and magic of this place, totally different than in Europe, different than everywhere else. Lack rush, omnipresent cordiality, sincere smile, climate, clouds, goats, donkey, crab, the taste of juicy fruit, exceptionally tasty rice, coconut water, rose petals on a littered bed, the smell of the ocean, joyful and smiling children.
Marta from Gdańsk
Relaxed and smiling
People I like the most about PiliPila! 🥰 It was thanks to them that I could feel relaxed, taken care and smiling!
Aneta from Warsaw
Smile everywhere
Everything plus people, atmosphere, food, drinks, juices and fruit. Smile everywhere. There are no disadvantages, probably only that we are already in Poland, and one would like to be at Zanzi in PiliPili.
Jolanta from Łazy
We're flying with the kids again
We were and we are going with the children again. The biggest plus is the educational value, that is, presenting Africa to Poles at an affordable price (...) I do not see minuses, although I try - as a Pole can most - notice them.

The only period that may cause us inconvenience is from April 15th to May 15th. This is the rainy season. It may rain during this period. Sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, sometimes not at all. The last two years show that the rainy season is less and less rainy. It was raining for a few days and that was all that was left of the rain. During the rest of the day, plenty of sunshine awaits you on the island. Even at night, the temperature does not drop below 25 degrees, so there is no need to take warm clothes with long sleeves.
There are no hurricane seasons, nor any other regular weather hazards.
