What was the highlight of Karamba Eco Boutique Hotel

Great Spot in Kizimkazi

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).

There were some poor reviews on TripAdvisor, 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 or cockroach then maybe it’s just not the place for you. It was just perfect for us!

Beautiful hotel, namely the bungalow rooms, lovely staff and a serene experience.

Really lovely staff, very helpful and accommodating. Beautiful views and lots of natural beauty and wildlife found at your doorstep. Quiet and peaceful area, private ambience.

Wi-Fi not so great in bungalow rooms, also hot water not working in bungalow rooms in absence of sun due to being solar powered.

some refreshments needed, to match the price tag

the location was heaven, very beautiful. the hotel food was extremely tasty, even the cheapest soup from the menu was a spectacle. 2 menues: a fixed one and a daily one: 10+ the breakfast, extremely tasty and abundant the fruits were out of this world, the juices from the bar, very very good. the staff and the owner very careful and available 10+ they changed our room from the open concept to a more conventional one. Staff very punctual, contrary to the ‘pole pole’ saying. Clean

the open concept room was bad - for european standards - even if it looked exotic. we could’t sleep there - literally. there was a bug making noise, INSIDE the bed nightstand. i put that piece of furniture out because of the noise. (just choose a traditional room, closed) The room price- opposed to the standards, were quite european, high. i saw a big sized rat on the wall of the open shower. open style rooms allowed bugs to get in the room freely. towels, bed sheets and courtains were used and old-ish, considering the price payed for the room!!

Pure Paradise- a deeply relaxing and beautiful place with great food and wonderful staff

The property is situated in a stunning location . It really is very beautiful. It’s also neat a fisherman’s village and it was lovely to walk along beach and also see the children play. The light was stunning and the sea the most beautiful colour. It really is a magical place to stay in nature. The food was delicious- a varied menu each day and it was tasty The staff were so friendly and helpful. They made the stay very pleasant - if there was a problem the manager did his best to sort! The bar man worked so hard but he always had a smile ! I would not hesitate to stay here again - a little bit of paradise

Very little - the situation was exquisite - very beautiful. The staff and food was wonderful . I suppose if I’m being picky the rooms could have done with a little more maintenance but I appreciate it is hard to keep on top of due to the remote location and the weather. I stayed twice in the property. The first time it was a standard room and the second it was upgraded! The upgrade was a far better room.

Karamba is beautiful and the staff is super nice!

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!

All of the rooms don’t have AC! I missed this when booking but we were able to upgrade once we were there. We were there in July and it was hot even at night! You will not be able to walk to any restaurants or anything but the front desk can easily call you a taxi. The beach is not for swimming or snorkeling the tide retreats too far!

Unforgettable and definitely a place to come back to.

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

What was the highlight of Karamba Eco Boutique Hotel

I really enjoyed staying at Karamba Lodge and I can recommend it to everyone who wants a relaxed and quite place away fr

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.

It’s good that there is a swimming pool as the tide does not allow swimming in the sea most of the day. The pool is ok, but too small for the size of the lodge. There are also no umbrellas or toilets near the pool and the berths are not comfortable enough for hanging out there and reading a book for a few hours. This needs improvement. We booked the expensive beach huts with A/c, which was a good choice. However, one gets better value for money in places like Goa or Thailand. The plus is that Zanzibar and Karamba are still more remote and I assume it costs much more to run a place like this in this part of the world.

Paradise!

A hidden gem far from the maddening crowd. Lush, tropical setting with sandy palm-fringed beaches, the lure and lull of the Indian Ocean from sunrise to sunset. The perfect spot to relax and unwind with a book under a tree, poolside or sip a sundowner. Friendly staff. Service with a smile. Fabulous food. Seasonal fruit and freshly pressed juices for breakfast. Delicious, locally sourced seafood lunch and dinner options daily. I would go back in a heartbeat!
