Remote location and poor choice of amenities in the locality. Getting to the location was tricky.

Breakfast menu was very limited and what was on it was just average. No percolated coffee just instant coffee with sometimes tepid water on the side.

Wonderful Baobab Africa Lodge

The place was wonderful. Lots of trees and plants. Rooms and the whole area was elegant and beautiful. The owner and his staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was good, best I have got in Sansibar/ Tansania. They made our holiday perfect.

An absolutely beautiful few days spent here. We felt completely at home, the staff here are just the best. Our 8 year ol

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful location, the restaurant built onto the ancient Baobab tree was awesome! The nearby beach is breathtaking. Couldn’t be happier with it stay here, the staff really made us feel like we at home. Eric the owner was super helpful too, providing us with a driver for the day and a contract for a day safari. Would love to return one day

Beautiful boutique hotel - I loved everything about this stay - the best of both worlds with nature and beach. the staff were very kind and helpful, and it was very unique to have meals in a baobab tree. It is a fantastic escape for those looking to avoid the major touristy areas in favour of a more relaxed stay without compromising the beauty of your surroundings and quality of service.

Everything great as you’d expect but the staff really make the stay

The location just past the village and a short walk to an unbelievable beach is quite something in its own right. Then the swimming pool, rooms, food and excursions give you everything you could want for but the thing that makes this place really special is the staff. Getting to know you, making you feel at home and literally nothing is too much to ask, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

This hotel exceeded our expectations so much!! all the staff is amazing and the owners as well, they are all the time around and they are cheerful and talkative. The hotel is super close to the beach and the vibes are chilled and relaxing. The food is amazing and the breakfast is very varied, the room was super clean as well as the whole installations. The people working there are super friendly and helpful, we definitely want to come back!! thank you so much!!!
