Butterfly House Zanzibar
Karibuni - Welcome!
I fell in love with the beautiful island of Zanzibar quite a few years ago and soon there came the point of me wanting Zanzibar to be more than just a holiday destination.
Now I have realised a little dream of building a house here and I’m hoping to pass on a little bit of my passion for this stunning island to YOU – while you are staying at my house – your home for a few days, weeks or even months.
My partner and I will be on site to welcome you and also be available for tipps and questions. We can assist you in arranging day trips, airport transfers, local cooking lessons, kite lessons or a village tour.
Butterfly House
Your home for a few days, weeks or even months.
About Kiwengwa
Kiwengwa is situated about one hour from the airport in the north-eastern part of the island. You will be staying in the local fishing village Cairo (part of Kiwengwa) and after a 10-minute stroll past the shops and local houses you will be at the beautiful sandy beach.
Apartments
The modern house has two one-bedroom apartments available for rent. The apartments are furnished in a modern yet traditional style using local materials and furniture. You have a living room with your own kitchenette including a fridge, a cooker and basic cooking equipment.
Things to do

We love Butterfly House
»I was at Butterfly House in January 2023 for over three weeks and really enjoyed staying there. The apartment has everything you need and I could enjoy my morning coffee in the sun on my private terrace. Janine and Ochu were great hosts, gave me all the information I wanted and helped me organising trips. Some evenings we even cooked local food together. The house is secure with wall and electric fence and yet you are in the middle of local life. And the walk to the beach is only 10 minutes. I will definitely come back. Thanks so much for having me there.«
NICOLE
»I stayed at Butterfly House for two weeks and the apartment was great – all clean and new and spacious. I had everything there for cooking as well. The owners were available all the time and made sure I was ok. I can definitely recommend it if you don’t want to be directly at the beach and like your privacy.«
