This was my second stay at Amanzi. Great that they now offer dinner & tea since closing their sister Amanzi Restaurant- great to have the flexibility/choice to eat on site or venture elsewhere. The new offer of complimentary drinks in the mini fridge much appreciated.

Amanzi lodge is beautiful! The gardens, are well manicured, tranquil. Staff are attentive, friendly and the breakfast that comes with the room, amazing! My laundry gets done and ironed on the same day with relatively and reasonably price! I would recommend this place to my friends and family! Will definitely return to stay here again in the near future!

A real oasis away from the hectic roads and bustle of Harare, staff are great and food excellent... just wished we had more time there to really appreciate what they have churned there. The room was spacious and clean and a individual themed design that makes you want to try them all.

We stayed at the Orange Grove House which was a beautiful colonial bungalow with a large garden and pool. Out of this world! Staff took good care of us.

Thanks for the review. Orange Grove is one of our favourite and most popular houses. The maid Judith has been with us for years and is an asset to the property also. Point of correction. Orange Grove is a double storey 1940's colonial style house. We hope to have you back soon.

The best in Harare.
I always stay at the Amanzi when I travel to Harare. It is a private paradise on the outskirts of Harare with fantastic staff and service. The food is the best in the country and you willl not regret staying there. Each room is themed after a different African country and this trip I stayed in Mali. Great stay

Dear Christopher, Thank you for the positive review. Return business like yours is crucial to our success and your comments energise our efforts. We hope our food will improve further with our new Executive Chef Matthew Williams. He has some great new creations that will compliment the existing menu. You may wish to try out the Mozambique or Zimbabwe room on your next visit as they have recently been upgraded and the new bathrooms are great. Thanks for your continued support.

Amazi Lodge is the best place I have stayed in Harare so far. The property is beautiful and well maintained, with friendly and professional staff. It is a quiet place perfect for professional stays but would be the place where I would spend a holiday stay as well. The food is by far the best I enjoyed in Harare. The breakfast is very nice, and the restaurant as well. Highly recommended! Their internet is fast and works with a code that your notebook or other device can remember, so no hassle with voucher codes on paper that run out of data when working.

Lodge in lovely garden setting
Beautiful lodge in wonderful grounds with abundant flowers and shrubs. Lovely thatched room with spacious room and bathroom. Clean and cared for meticulously. Very good service. Tennis and swimming - but I was working. Includes a lovely breakfast and the lounge area had a crackling fire and very comfortable to sit. It is quite a drive and out of the centre - a great advantage. You will need transport. Highly recommended

Great hotel, for a quiet getaway
Amanzi Lodge is a great place to stay and the only negative for me is its location, as it is a little of the beaten track and because of this the menu's could be slightly more varied as there are few options to eat nearby. The staff work tirelessly to ensure you are comfortable and to keep the place tidy and my lodge had everything you would need. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay then this is the place for you. The positives are outweigh the negatives and i would look to stay again the next time I am in Zim.

Hi Andrew. Thanks for your positive review and we hope to welcome you back to Amanzi in the near future. Just to let you know that the whole of Drew Road and Enterprise Road has been resurfaced so it feels like we are even closer to town! We have also employed a new Executive Chef with some exciting new touches. Sour dough in the morning. Yum! Some great food shots going up on Expedia and facebook shortly. Regards Team Amanzi
