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!

Essque Zalu - Zanzibar, North Coast
![](https://www.tanzaniaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/essque-zalu-zanzibar=401128-405.jpg)
Essque Zalu is the latest addition to the collection of luxurious hotels on Zanzibar. It is big, bold and impressive (the makuti roof is the biggest on Zanzibar). It’s a hotel that is modern, stylish and definitely a great option for those looking for a forward thinking hotel catering for every urban luxury. It might not be to everyone’s taste, but if modern architecture using traditional methods and a luxurious and attentive service are up your street – Essque is for you!
Cost: $403
Ewanjan - Serengeti, Central
![](https://www.tanzaniaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/ewanjan-safari-guide-to-ewanjan-lodge-in-the-serengeti=401152-405.jpg)
Opened in 2010, Ewanjan Tented Camp perfectly located in the central Serengeti area of the Seronera Valley, famous for its abundant resident game and large prides of predators. Ewanjan has a great setting away from the crowds, ideal to fully experience the wildlife of this area without constantly meeting another vehicle.
Ewanjan is at its height when the migration rolls though the Seronera Valley, the camp also works perfectly when combining with its sister mobile camps in Ndutu from December to March and the Mara River between July and October.

Exploreans Lodge - Ngorongoro Highlands
![](https://www.tanzaniaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/exploreans-safari-guide-to-exploreans-lodge-in-ngorongoro=401092-405.jpg)
Exploreans is one of the latest additions to the Ngorongoro Highland region and is becoming a firm favourite. With its proximity to the Crater gates, luxurious accommodation and reasonable rates, it is hard to find many negatives. As long as you are willing to forgo the more traditionally built and decorated lodges, you can’t go far wrong in terms of location and comfort.
Cost: $356
Fanjove Island - Tanzania Islands

Four Seasons - Serengeti, Central
![](https://www.tanzaniaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/four-seasons-safari-lodge=401148-405.jpg)
The Four Seasons is a hotel/resort rather than a small intimate safari lodge - ideal for those looking for the comforts and facilities of a large hotel chain rather than a small intimate safari experience. It’s not our preferred style but it’s the best of its kind in the Serengeti.
Cost: $725
Fumba Beach Lodge - Zanzibar, West Coast
![](https://www.tanzaniaodyssey.com/site/odyssey-image-proxy/lodges/fumba-beach-lodge=401081-405.jpg)
Fumba Beach Lodge is on the west coast of Zanzibar and in close proximity to Stone Town. It’s a nice beach lodge with a nice main area and swimming pool. The gardens are especially colourful and impressive. Unfortunately the beach at Fumba is just not as good as others on Zanzibar. We would definitely advise that guests opt for a suite as they have good access to the sea.
Cost: $290
Fundu Lagoon - Pemba
