The staff really want the extra mile in terms of organizing your activities for us, making sure that we feel comfortable and welcome. This is the best place on Zanzibar with magnificent views of the lush, tropical jungle overlooking baobab trees, and with amazing sounds of birds, monkeys, and other wildlife you will not find a better experience on Zanzibar

I stayed two nights in the villa. It's truly beautiful: Big room and bathroom, nice gardens and the pool is just perfect for a morning bath. The location is quite close to the beach, the breakfast is abundant and the best part is the attention of the staff which was amazing! If I am back to Kizimkazi, I would definitely stay in Kameleon blue again.

After a week crowded Nungwei beach we have spent there 6 unforgettable days! This was the one of the top hospitality experience ever! The location is quite stunning with direct access to the beach, sleeping in wooden caban with toilets and shower. The bungalows are so unique and cosy, simplicity and elegance are the right words to describe. They offer lunch and dinner in a restaurant with a single menu though that changes everyday, usually rice with fresh fish. All the local staff and the massai working there are very friendly and helpful. If you look for something natural, we would recommend.And no need be scared about the bush babies in the night, they are so sweet ;)

What makes Palmera so special is its inspiring mission. The hotel and restaurant operate as a hospitality school for local young women, and the exceptional service they provide is a direct reflection of their training. From their warm smiles to their impeccable attention to detail, you can feel the genuine pride they take in their work. The hotel's setting is pure paradise. The infinity pool overlooking the turquoise sea is mesmerizing, and the lush, immaculately kept gardens create a perfect oasis for relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk barefoot through the fine sand and simply enjoy the tranquility. For anyone, but especially for vegans, the restaurant is a must-visit. The creative and delicious vegan dishes, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented students, were a true highlight. It's a testament to the high-quality training they are receiving. The breakfast, in particular, was the best I had during my three-week stay in Tanzania, the homemade warm bread and homemade chocolate spread were unforgettable. For lunch and dinner, with main courses priced between $11 and $13, it offers exceptional value. This 15-room hotel is a quiet retreat. I stayed when it was almost empty and had no issues with noise, but even when full, the large garden and pool area should provide plenty of space for guests. The price range for double rooms in the 2025 high season was 70-100 USD. All rooms face the sea, though the view can be a bit limited from some of the downstairs rooms. While the large windows are beautiful, the curtains don’t fully cover them, which could be a privacy concern for some. I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed was perfect for me, but it might be a bit too hard for others. The solar-powered hot water worked flawlessly. The road to the hotel is a little bumpy on the last kilometer, but there are plans to improve it. In the bathrooms, I would have appreciated a bit more space to dry towels, or a drying rack on the terrace.

The location is beautiful - it’s the last hotel on the road, there was almost nobody at the beach, and the hotel itself is also really nice (small houses with decent amount of space and privacy) The staff is extremely friendly, special shoutout to Kassim that made the great experience - from serving exceptional food and drinks to fully organising and guiding additional tours in reasonable prices and with great fun. Thank you Kassim!!!

Everything was excellent and even nicer than in the internet: the room, the garden, the breakfast, the swimming pool, the beach just around the corner. And also the staff was perfect and very caring and friendly. You really feel at home! The best hotel I ever stayed at! Thank you!

We spend 3 nights at Promised Land Lodge and recommend it 100%. The area was designed and built with so many lovely details that you instantly feel at home there. It reminded me on a place in Greece I used to spent much time of my childhood at, which says a lot. I will definitely come back asap.
