At Firefly, we’ve always believed that food should tell a story — of place, of people, of culture. That’s why we’re so excited to welcome Zaidi Ice Cream into our family. Just like Firefly, Zaidi is rooted in the idea that the simple things — a shared meal, a fresh breeze, a sweet taste on the tongue — can be moments of connection and joy.
A Taste of Tanzania, Naturally
Picture yourself at Firefly Bagamoyo: music in the background, art on the walls, the sea just beyond. Now add a cup of Zaidi Ice Cream in your hand — silky, organic, and bursting with the flavor of tropical fruits grown right here in Tanzania.
Every scoop carries a piece of the land: the sharp tang of bungo, the brightness of guava, the depth of pure cocoa. Vegan or classic, each flavor feels like Tanzania in a spoonful — generous, alive, and unforgettable.
Shared Values, Shared Mission
Why Zaidi? Because their philosophy feels so close to ours. They celebrate community by sourcing from local farmers. They put care into health and sustainability, choosing organic ingredients free from additives. And, like us, they believe indulgence can be joyful and responsible.
At Firefly, we’ve always seen ourselves as more than a place to stay, eat, or gather — we’re part of a movement toward living and enjoying life with intention. Zaidi is a perfect match for that vision.
From Italy to Tanzania, Back to You
Zaidi’s founder studied at Carpigiani Gelato University in Italy, bringing back world-class techniques to Tanzania. But the magic lies in how those skills are used to honor our land’s own bounty. It’s the same spirit we hold at Firefly: learn globally, live locally, and create something meaningful in our own backyard.
Find Your Scoop of Firefly
We’re proud to now serve Zaidi Ice Cream at Firefly Bagamoyo — and soon at Firefly Zanzibar. So whether you’re lounging in the courtyard, meeting friends by the bar, or simply soaking up the sunshine, let a spoonful of Zaidi be part of your Firefly moment.
Because here, dessert isn’t just sweetness. It’s art. It’s culture. It’s Tanzania.
