We booked as a honeymoon destination after staying a week in Nungwi (amazing) and had a quiet relaxing pampered 9 days in mind. Unfortunately the lodge really needs some attention to the maintenance to warrant the prices charged. Our room’s roof (thatch) was covered in a tarpaulin after being damaged from either rains, wind or monkeys and was nowhere near the level of readiness to accept paying guests. Overall the accommodation and general infrastructure needs a jack up. Food was amazing. Location is great. Service was good but it just didn’t tick all the boxes we needed so we checked out early and found another place that did. Yes, it’s an island of the coast of East Africa and that comes with its challenges. Some places get it right.

Karamba!!! This is the place to be in Zanzibar. Everything was just perfect. Top top experience. Food, rooms, athmosphere, service, nearby activities... stunning sunsets!!! We would go back a million times. Thanks to all Karamba staff!

Grazie Gemma, siamo stati veramente bene . Una struttura veramente bella immersa in un giardino curatissimo , sulla scogliera con il mare davanti . Abbiamo avuto la fortuna che ancora non c'era molta gente e ci siamo goduti la tranquillità di questo luogo meraviglioso , la camera dava direttamente sul mare e dagli alberi vicino ogni tanto arrivavano le scimmie . Abbiamo visto anche Tramonti indimenticabili , la cucina è ottima e tutto il personale gentile e disponibile, Gemma è fantastica, grazie

The Karumba Eco Lodge was terrific. A wonderful complement to your time in Stonetown, Nungwi or other resorts - it is relatively undeveloped area and of course you get the dolphins. We chose it as it was recommended by the excellent Bradt guide to Zanzibar and appeared to a good location. 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 and much better than the other walkable hotels. The service and team are outstanding. The lounge and bar are a wonderful spaces with couches and shade. WiFi is here too. I saw there were some indifferent reviews on TripAdvisor and unfortunately I suspect these are because people have different expectations. This is a rustic lodge. There isn’t aircon or hot water but there are lovely rooms that all face the ocean and are a step away from a beautiful swim. There are lots of insects but that’s how it should be… it’s wonderful but if you scream every time you see a beetle then maybe it’s just not the place for you. It was just perfect for us! Thank you to a great team. Jane.

Hemos estado 3 días en Karamba Resort y es una excelente opción tras unos días de safaris por Tanzania. Un buen alojamiento para la gente que busca relax, tranquilidad, buen servicio, vistas y atardeceres impresionantes. Decoración sencilla, rústica, auténtica, elegante y con buen gusto. Todos los empleados encantadores. Muy buena comida. Muy recomendable!!

Na 8 dagen perfecte en gave Safari chillen op Zanzibar. We waren er helemaal klaar voor. Witte stranden, blauwe zee, leuk fris huisje. Dat was een deceptie toen we aankwamen bij karamba. Super vriendelijk personeel. Ons huisje voir 5 personen was heel klein en benauwd. Gelukkig kregen we tegen betaling De honeymoon suite. Prima qua grootte. Alleen met 3 pubers is WiFi op je kamer een vereiste. De eigenaresse begreep dat en heeft ons ook nog geholpen met zoeken. Daarnaast vonden wij alles een beetje smoezelig. De lakentjes over kussens etc. Het was niet wat we hoopten waar we terecht zouden komen. Na een prima ontbijt zijn we naar een andere locatie gegaan.

Un sitio paradisiaco para relajarse. Apartado de los demás hoteles, con una playa allí mismo y una piscina con vistas al mar espectacular. Te puedes tomar un mojito en las tumbonas... un placer! No nos dio tiempo a probar el yoga ni los masajes... una pena! Hizo mala mar y no pudimos salir a nadar con los delfines, que habría sido un plus. Eso si, la cocina es un poco lenta, no hay que ir con prisa.

Es el lugar ideal para viajeros que busquen autenticidad, tranquilidad y desconectar en un entorno de naturaleza virgen. El alojamiento se compone de cabañas individuales de diferentes características y precios, con una decoración típicamente africana, muy isleña y donde el protagonista indiscutible es el mar. Con zonas comunes de ensueño para relajarse y ver increíbles puestas de sol. La comida es deliciosa y de calidad. Es la segunda vez que vamos y estamos deseando volver a este paraíso. Deben abstenerse los turistas que busquen alojamientos tipo todo incluido, con toboganes para niños, espectáculos...etc.
