Wonderful hotel right on the shore of the Indian Ocean – a perfect place for a true getaway 🌊The surroundings are very cozy and the ocean views are simply breathtaking. There is a friendly little monkey living at the hotel, which adds even more charm and uniqueness to this place 🐒 The staff are incredibly helpful, warm, and always ready to assist. Special compliments to the chef – the food was exceptionally delicious, varied and beautifully presented.

A peaceful and authentic place on Zanzibar with wonderful people and a truly relaxing atmosphere.

Karibu Beach Resort is a very charming and cozy place, ideal for travelers who are looking for calm, comfort, and an authentic African atmosphere. We have stayed in several different hotels across Zanzibar, and based on this experience, we can confidently recommend this hotel as one of the places to consider for a truly peaceful and relaxing holiday on the island. It is perfect for guests who value tranquility, silence, and a sense of harmony. One of the biggest highlights is the highly intelligent, attentive, and genuinely kind local staff. The team creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere and makes guests feel truly cared for. A special thank you to the hotel manager Anna for being helpful and accommodating in various matters. The food was very tasty, fresh, and well prepared. Special thanks to the chef — the quality and flavors really stood out. A lovely and unique detail is the small monkey named Coco who lives on the hotel grounds and adds a special charm to the place.
