The 6 best Campgrounds in Zanzibar Archipelago, Tanzania

May 3, 2023 Kelli Reichel

A group of islands and islets some 25 miles off the Tanzanian coast, the Zanzibar Archipelago is headlined by Unguja (often referred to simply as Zanzibar) and Pemba. Once a separate nation, Zanzibar has a long history of trade with the Arab world, dating back to at least the 11th century. The capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has many interesting historic attractions. Zanzibar's bright white beaches and nearby coral reefs make it very popular with the sun and sea set.

Paradise Beach Bungalows

Basic stay

Reviewed By kendra6666

A basic stay. Beds lovely made and reception and check in was easy. Breakfast was lovely. Be prepared for electricity outages where it gets pitch black and extremely hot in bungalow. We stay on the front one and it was lovely, plenty of little creatures crawling around and damp smell is the norm in bathroom. Had a 4 star for the same price, which seems crazy. Overall expensive for what you get when you look around the area.

Wonderful food and affordable prices

Reviewed By Noraioana

This place is a must. We had curry prawns with rice and sea food platter. Everything was delicious and fresh. We decided to eat here all week after the great experience we had. The place is run by a nice family and they make you feel cosy and welcome.0

Not so Mango

Reviewed By Federica8578

This small hotel is located directly on the beach of Jambiani, excellent location but unfortunately the beach is inaccessible due to the tides or at least not suitable for swimming, the rooms are ok nothing special but they are without air conditioning and with the heat and you can't stay wet at all, the bathroom constantly smells damp, there is no hot water and several times we could not take a shower because there was no cold one, we paid for half board and they even charged us for simple bottles of water served at dinner plus wifi didn't work even in the bar. Experience not to be redone.

Panorama Ocean View

A romantic comfortable gateway in Paje, Zanzibar with a breath taking panoramic view of Jambiani and Paje. Our 10 rooms are just foot steps away to the beach and all have the beautiful view of the Indian Ocean and surrounded by palms and nature. Tasty breakfasts with the best view. Rooms are guaranteed to be always clean and comfortable. Kite Surfing just steps away, but our reception and rooms are a lot higher than sea level, getting you to see all the kite-surfers and take memorable pictures. The area is perfect for swimming. We go the extra mile to make our guests feel home. We organize excursions, bicycles or motorbike rentals. At our host , you enjoy reading, cooking, travelling and most of all it's our pleasure to go that extra mile to make sure that you as our guest feel comfortable.

Stunning view to the ocean you can't swim in :-)

Reviewed By Julialugowska

In fact, 1-star hotel with no special service and poor facilities, not recommended for families. + Amazing view + Nice hotel territory + Room cleaning and antimosquito splattering on daily basis + Smiley and helpful staff that makes this place much better than it is - Disappointing bathroom - Impossible to swim nearby due to the rocky beach and low tide twice per day. During the high tide it is impossible to step into the water. So you have to walk to the Paje beach or Jambiani (approx 1 km) - Poor menu and very limited choice in the restaurant. No beer, no ice, no bar in general - Long distance to any shop, no infrastructure nearby - Unpleasantly smelling heaps of seaweed close to the restaurant

Ngerengere River Eco Camp

Wonderful and peaceful stay

Reviewed By Sabrina_Montagard

I stayed 2 weeks as a volunteer in the Eco Camp helping at school and it was an incredible trip. Remmy and Elvin his son are so welcoming, as well the camp crew. Food is great, the accommodation is tidy and clean, the river is calm and you can even see monkeys in the trees. Don't hesitate and take part of this project full of hope and happiness.

Reviewed By Klara Z

The owner is not able to manage all reservations. I did booking, i went there and he told me that rooms are full. I met another people there with same story but they were waiting what will happen because they paid in advance. I had to go in another place
