The location is right on the beach. Good for swimming when tide in. Was also not happy about the warning signs. The bandas didn't have much room for luggage and had no table or chairs. The mattress were a bit old and scarey looking. Sand everywhere. Lots of tour groups come there and often party at the bar in the... More

Mikadi is a stunning, delightful place! A bit alarming when you see all the WARNING SIGNS!!! U cant walk on the beach with out a guard or walk into town because its to dangerous (not that i encountered anything). But it really does'nt give you the "carefree" holiday feeling (especially 'this is no joke)!!! I camped at Mikadi it was... More

We stayed 2 nights on our way to Zanzibar and then on our way to Selous Reserve. Lucho is very friendly and knowledgeable, answered all inquiries immediately, had everything perfectly organized for our arrival/departure at odd hours. We stored some of our equipment for a week in the place while traveling around. We stayed one night in one of the... More

We stayed at Mikadi for 3 nights on our way to Kilimanjaro and what an experience. Firstly our email enquiry was answered very quickly by a friendly Jo who gave us some helpful advice for our trip. We arrived at dodgy o clock in the morning and were ushered into a lovely little banda right ON the beach. Literally the... More

we went on a family holiday with 2 toddlers and a pregnant mom, the staff were very accommodating to our family making special dishes for the kids & always watchful. It is a true gem on a budget, great value for money, there was a bit of crazy loud music on weekends from next door but it gave us a... More

Mikadi is an ideal destination if you are looking for a relaxed, easy going retreat or just a single nights accommodation on the way to Zanzibar. Beautiful view, great people, excellent food and amazing possibilities. Thanks for an amazing week!

This is one of the coolest backpackers I’ve ever stayed in! It’s such a nice place with a really chilled vibe. It’s right on the beach and you can choose to stay on your own room (which is basically a ‘banda’ or traditional Tanzanian huts) or you can do camping. It has shared bathroom but they are really clean and... More

Bandas were nice and close to the beach, but the beds were dirty and the mozzie net had many holes and in the morning we found 7 or 8 full mozzies inside the net.
