Food & Travel Magazine, April 2024Zuri has everything that places in the Seychelles or Maldives serve up (glorious beaches, palapas that you don't have to fight over, and several creative restaurants), but this is much closer by air.
Conde Nast Traveler (US), April 2019Zuri, a high-design eco-resort, spills onto the best stretch of beach on the Tanzanian archipelago. Follow lantern-lit jungle paths to one of 55 thatched-roof villas gathered in clusters reflecting a traditional African village.
