We spent five days at Shamba Lodge while searching for the ideal place to stay in Zanzibar, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. Located in a quiet, peaceful area with no noise, yet just a two-minute walk from the beach, it offered the perfect balance between tranquility and easy access to everything we needed. The location allowed us to reach incredible beaches and enjoy a variety of activities, while still feeling far removed from the crowds. The value for money was excellent. We could walk to stunning beaches on the eastern side of Zanzibar, and the lodge’s team helped us with everything from arranging taxis to making sure we felt comfortable during our stay. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and serviced daily. The breakfast was delicious, and the attention we received throughout was truly outstanding. Special thanks to Amaia and Ali (please, never let him go!) for making our stay so warm and memorable. We genuinely hope to see them again soon.

That we couldn’t stay longer 😊

Shamba Lodge is a great place to stay in Nungwi. It's clean, spacious and comfortable. Amazing breakfast. The best part is the amazing staff. Ali is so friendly and helpful, one day he even went to the Dala Dala Station with us and talked to the driver to make sure we would get local price. Also, because my wife is afraid of dogs and Shamba Lodge has a German shephard (which we didn't know before coming), Ali made sure that the dog was not walking around anytime when we left or arrived at the lodge, which made my wife feel a lot more comfortable during our stay. Asante sana Shamba!

The room is large and clean. The staff is nice. We also liked the animals, there is a dog and two cats. The breakfast is good. You get fruits and can choose between different types of eggs or pancakes. It is close to the beach, but we didn't like this part of the beach so much. It is better to walk a little bit further. We really liked our stay at the Shramba lodge.

The room was very nice. The AC was working well and the bathroom was clean. We had delicious breakfast every day with coffee (with real milk!), fruits and a main of choice. The owner and the staff (and Koa, the dog) were very friendly and nice to be around. The hotel is not directly on the beach, but maybe 50-100m from the ocean (1 minute away).

Nice big room with balcony. Really good Wifi and aircondition. Simple breakfast, but for the price for the night I would not expect any breakfast. Few nice local restaurants in walking distance. Beach 5 minutes walk. It’s not the nicest beach but during high tide is fine.

Its staff tried to offer a lot of tour information and introduced me a very good tour company.

The hotel phone number was not correct so that it was impossible for me to contact with the hotel when my flight departure time was delayed so long time due to the airplane problem.

Large rooms with fan and air conditioning. Very relaxing and perfect for a good night sleep. Great breakfast in a cozy and traditional hut. Just 2 minutes walking from the beach, bars and restaurants. There are a lot of activities and tours to do in the area. Absolutely recommend for the price and service offered!

Nice small hotel with big rooms. You can come and go how you like and it was very close to the beach.

I liked most things about the property. We had trouble with the payment because the card machine did not work so make sure to bring enough cash.

Great clean, bright, comfy room for a fair price, off the beach a bit but only a short walk. Hot water pressure pretty good. Kind and helpful staff.

No restaurant or bar on site but plenty aroind the area.

Everyone is so friendly. Amaia, raffael and all the staff are very helpful and treat you like family. We will go back for sure. Location is superb and great value for money.
