This page is a comprehensive list of all the Tanzania lodges and Zanzibar hotels featured on this website.
It is very hard to rank lodges with one simple measure! But we have tried, and herewith an explanation of our system.
Our ranking is subjective (it is the office consensus, after much arguing), and tries to reflect value for money as well as overall quality. Therefore we may award just three stars to a 'five star' Zanzibar Hotel in the hotel tick-box sense, or five stars to a superb, unashamed 'three star' Tanzania Lodge that consistently provides superb quality experiences for the price. We care a great deal about location, whether in the bush or on the beach, and in many cases this has influenced our choice. It is unorthodox, it may seem at odds with the world view, but we can explain... and we urge you to call us to discuss!
For more information on Tanzania, the best thing to do is to give us a ring for an impartial chat. Although we love Tanzania, we also love the rest of Africa too and have experts in all the main safari countries. If you are undecided as to where to visit, please do just drop us an email or give us a call!

Zawadi - Zanzibar, East Coast
Zawadi is what dreams are made of. From the moment we got there, the managers were amazingly accommodating and helped us with every wish, and helped arrange outings so we never had to lift a finger. They gave us a new room with a plunge pool with the most stunning room of the Indian Ocean. The location couldn’t have been better as we were able to snorkel right at the hotel beach. The food was great and we loved the staff so much- everyone was wonderful and lovely to talk to. Zawadi is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and it was all so well taken care of. They really really cared about us and we felt they went out of their way to make everything perfect. The rooms were flawless. 5/5 but again we would rate it higher if we could. - E. Hehir

Zuri Zanzibar - Zanzibar, Northwest Coast
We stayed at Zuri Zanzibar in July 2018, and loved it. We had a fabulous two room villa for our family, with sunset views through the gardens. The staff were lovely, all very friendly and smiley and funny, and we had great swimming - either on the beach or at the pool. The food was occasionally very good, but also occasionally not; we understand that the hotel is still finding its way, and we assume that this will improve quite quickly. All in all, a great place. We want to come back when the beach bar is open!- R. Klein
