A Personal Journey to Zanzibar

We’re not a big faceless real estate company. We’re two people who fell in love with Zanzibar, each in our own way, and who decided to turn our experience into something that helps others make this island their home too.

Morten – From Norway to Zanzibar (since 1998)
My story with Zanzibar began back in 1998, when I first came here with my family. My mother and stepfather built a house right on the beach in Jambiani, and for 10 years I lived on and off here ever since, and I know the ups and downs of property ownership on the island firsthand.

My real estate journey started when I sold my parents’ house years later to a wonderful Swiss couple, who still live there today – happily settled and part of the community. That experience showed me something important: buying a home here can be life-changing, (both in terms of lifestyle, and financially) but only if the process is handled with care, trust, and local knowledge.

Stefano – Building a Life in Jambiani (since 2020)
Stefano’s journey started in Germany, but his heart led him to Zanzibar in 2020. Since then, he has built his own home in Jambiani and helped others design and build theirs. With hands-on experience and daily involvement in local construction and property, he knows the right people in every part of the process – from builders and craftsmen to lawyers and local authorities.

Why We Started This
Over the years we both saw the same problem: many foreigners dream of owning a home or land in Zanzibar, but the reality can be confusing, risky, and full of obstacles. Scams, unclear paperwork, endless waiting times… the list goes on.

We decided to be the solution. Together, we combine decades of personal experience, local networks, and an honest, transparent approach. We guide you step by step – from your very first call, through all the paperwork, until you’re holding the keys to your new home.

Our Promise

• You deal directly with us – not strangers or agencies.

• We’re open, transparent, and always available.

• We understand both the dreams and the risks, and we know how to bridge the gap.

For us, this isn’t just about property. It’s about people, stories, and creating a safe way to make your dream of Zanzibar living come true.

Welcome to our journey – and maybe yours.
