Jafferji House is a traditional boutique hotel that captures the romantic history of Zanzibar’s spice island, lovingly restored in the heart of Stone Town to reflect its original architecture and heritage.
Located in the heart of Stone Town, Jafferji House has been carefully restored over three years of dedication and craftsmanship, transforming a historic home into a boutique hotel for modern and adventurous travelers. Our purpose is to meet your needs, manage every detail, and introduce you to the magic of our historic town and surrounding region in a way that is personal and authentic. The hotel’s opulent interior transports guests to the golden era of old Zanzibar, reflecting traditional ways of living and the splendour of sultans and merchants of centuries past. Each piece of furniture, décor, doors, carvings, and artifacts is a genuine antique collected from across the world, from Morocco and Afghanistan to India and Mozambique, telling the story of the great trading empire that once connected the Indian Ocean and made Zanzibar its heart.
