Why travel with Beach Safari?

We are proud to be a trusted name in African tourism. Our accolades reflect our commitment to delivering the best in adventure and hospitality. 

Had 10 fabulous days here in March with my friend. The hotel is very well maintained and immaculately clean. Our room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. We opted for a sea view which I would really recommend.
We found the food to be very good, fresh and lots of choice. What really makes this hotel stand out for me, however, is the staff. Every single member of the team we encountered was friendly, kind-natured and a real pleasure to talk to. They truly make you feel welcome.
The whole resort has a very relaxed atmosphere and is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return.
The hotel clearly takes great pride in both its staff and the guest experience. 

My wife and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary, we really enjoyed our time at the resort. The entire team was really good, they made us feel very welcome and relaxed. Will definitely recommend and we will definitely go back 

I was very surprised by the location of the hotel, away from the noise. The hotel really met my expectations. Everything is well-kept, from the swimming pool to the greenery around the hotel. There is always something different to choose from in the dining area, the staff is always smiling. Professional bar service. The animation group tops everything, thank you Jackson, you are the best. I recommend the spa, 100% perfection and satisfaction. We would like to thank all employees for a nice time. Really revomended for everyone. 

An once in a lifetime experience in a authentic resort but also very modern. A nice modern room. Very clean and comfortable. We loved our stay at Christmas and the New Year. The restaurants have a nice buffet and plenty of your choises. A warm welome by the always smiling staf, especially at Christmas and the last day of the year. If you want to relax in the sun, go to this resort. 

Great hotel! Delicious food with a wide variety, plus the option to book dinners at the Italian and Indian restaurants is a big highlight. The staff are excellent, special praise for the bar waiters – always friendly and helpful. Everything is spotless, and the evening entertainment makes the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! 

Best holiday ever! Just the best holiday ever! We did a safari and beach holiday, staying at the Reef and Beach in Jambiani. The hotel was fantastic - the staff and the facilities were just wonderful. The people could not have been more friendly or helpful, and we loved both of the rooms we stayed in before and after the safari - they were very different but added to the experience. The food was great and the monkeys were just the icing on a very lovely cake.

A BIG shout out to Reef & Beach Resort for their outstanding service.

From the moment we arrived till the day we departed we got outstanding service!!! 

A dream came true! We had a nice stay. The Safari was beautiful, and the hotel rooms were good. The people who work at the Reef and Beach Resort are very friendly, and they always help you. Always a big smile.

Everything you need in one resort.
Food was amazing
Facilities excellent, especially the jetty to the ocean and all swimming pools.
Friendly service from all the staff and comfortable rooms. 

Amazing Hotel with an authentic feeling. The hotel is built around mangroves, and the monkeys could be seen all over the hotel, which always made our day. It has an authentic feel, and it was nice to see locals in the water harvesting seaweed and Maasai on the beach. There was a Maasai show one evening, which was great fun to watch.
