Karamba is a beautiful lodge away from the crowds directly located at the serene Kizimkazi beach. I loved to step out of our bamboo hut in the morning to see the sea right in front of us. The beach huts have comfortable beds, an open bathroom and a lovely sitting area right at the beach. Ours also has aircon, which was good to have in March. The common dining area has breathtaking views of the sea all day round and it’s a please to hang out there. The nearby village hosts the oldest mosque in East Africa and gives a good impression of the simple life of fishing community. Karamba lodge also hosts a lot of interesting artefacts from the region and has a little shop.

Karamba has beautiful views of the ocean and the restaurant/pavilion! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. We liked exploring the tide pools when the tide was out. We also loved the outdoor showers - it is such a unique design!

Amazing place! We had a great time. Sea View bungalow. It was very easy to get into the sea via the property. No need to go over public beach. Pool was lovely enough chairs. Great breakfast and restaurant. Lovely campfire in the evening. And we even saw some monkey on the property luckily the massai was there to help. Amazing owner! A hidden treasure we were very happy to end our holiday over here

My exceptional experience all started prior to check in. I was contacted by Sophia inquiring about my early arrival and transport from the airport to the hotel. She made sure all my needs are met. This hotel is located in the south west of the Zanzibar Island, and away from the busy tourist area. The bungalows are exceptionally well designed and very comfortable. I felt like living in a tree house. Its clean and the staff are very responsive and friendly. The food at the restaurant is exceptionally great and made of locally grown ingredients. Thank you for making my stay memorable and i will see you soon. Hakuna Matata 💚

Magnificent location. It's far from most things but that's precisely why you go there. It has a host of great facilities - pool, yoga, beach lounges and direct ocean/beach access. Unrivalled sunset location. The front desk staff were ok - a bit distant - but the rest of the staff were wonderful: the perfect balance of professional and personal - I felt like a brother and guest at the same time. I love the outdoor shower! And the food was great.

The location is magical, not many tourists around, very paceful and calm. Staff go an extra length to help with any wish you may have and are genuinly friendly. There is a list of diferent dishes for the breakfast from which you can choose two... so there are many combinations and even if you stay longer you don't get bored by one and the same. Anyway it is difficult to skip the fruit platter so you just have to choose one ;-)

The Karumba Lodge was terrific. it is in a relatively undeveloped area (not Nungwi) and of course you get the dolphins. We chose it as it was recommended by the excellent Bradt guide  and appeared to a good base. We had 4 nights which meant we enjoyed the dolphins, snorkelling and also you can walk across to one of the oldest Mosques in East Africa. The food is excellent (much better than the other walkable hotels). The service and team are excellent. The lounge and bar are a wonderful space with couches and shade. There's good WiFi in the bar and lounge (not in the room).

The friendliness of the staff. The small scale of the accommodation. The great cuisine. And the original decoration by the owner.
