Kilindi Zanzibar recently reopened this month with a new General Manager, Andre Joubert, who joins the Kilindi family and Elewana team. Joubert was onsite to warmly greet Kilindi’s first guests.

Having worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years, South African Joubert has experience at some of the most beautiful properties and remote locations in Africa, including Cape Winelands, Cape Town, Seychelles and The Okavango Delta. His studies in Hospitality Management allowed him to study, work and travel throughout the UK and Europe honing his passion for personalised luxury and sustainable hospitality. Having a natural affinity for the ocean and it’s gorgeous beauty, he has also explored courses in lifesaving, diving, surfing and fishing and enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing sports, listening to music and focusing on nutrition. You might also catch him exploring the island on his treasured motorcycle!
