Game Fish Lodge, hotel in Nungwi

Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming property with my partner, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the warm and gracious hosts, Colin and Lesley, who made us feel right at home. Expect breakfasts that are simply brilliant, local tips and tricks for getting around cost-effectively - what not to do & what to do - Colin will definitely help you out! Lesley is an absolute delight—such a solid and kind person, and I enjoyed some of the loveliest conversations with her. The property is exclusive, offering plenty of space to relax and do your own thing. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and despite being nestled between 5-star hotels, it holds its own and doesn’t lose its shine. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a personal, warm, and memorable experience. Can’t wait to return!!

    Nadya is great host who gave some really awesome recommendations (from restaurants to going to a secret sand bank), and all of them were top rated. MaNa is a super quiet place, just 2 mins walk from the beach, and about 15 mins walk (on the beach) from the busy part of Nungwi beach. Great food options everywhere nearby. And the place is super clean, lots of care gone into it.

    charming, quiet villa on the east side of Nungwi. with a large garden and a space with a pool table. Very nice for those who want seek a location in Nungwi and still very close to the beach. I rented the room with private bathroom which is very spacious as well as the bathroom. The breakfast is local and includes fruits, chapati, eggs, coffee and tea. Mike the host is very accommodating. But the most interesting point remains the unbeatable value for money on Nungwi.

    I enjoyed my stay very much ❤️ the accomodation is just in perfect location! It is in the middle of Nungwi, so you can go more on west to enjoy more turistic but beautiful beaches, or more on east for more calm, local beach experience. Or you can just swim on the beach which is like 3 minutes from guest house 🙂 It is in very calm area, no noise from Nungwi parties 🙏 and Kosta is just great host! Easy to talk and he cares for his guests very much! Hakuna matata! 🙂 During my stay I felt like a family member ☺️ Thank you once again! ❤️

    This place is a few steps away from the best beach in Zanzibar. Perfect location for a place that's not a beachfront. It is also located right next to the city center so there are restaurants, mini markets, bars and other shops everywhere within walking distance. Great hosts
