Sahari Zanzibar

We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The food was very good – we had half board, and every evening we enjoyed à la carte dining. The dishes were always adjusted to our needs, with delicious vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available. The staff, especially those working in the restaurant, were incredibly friendly and helpful – we immediately felt at home. The hotel is directly by the beach, with a beautiful pool area to relax in as well. The whole atmosphere was calm and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. We also loved the little extras: you could borrow games like cornhole, chess, or board games, as well as books. Our room was clean, cozy, and well maintained. All in all we would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back!

Very nice property set right on the a nice quiet part of the beach, where you can meet and chat with locals going about there day. Only about 30 mins walk along the beach to Paje, which has a lot of restaurants and things to do. The pool area is very nice, clean and relaxing. A few cats and a turtle living on the grounds were a nice addition, especially for the kids in the group. The restaurant is great, nice food and drinks - breakfast is especially good, served a la carte rather than a buffet. The staff are certainly the highlight, all extremely friendly and welcoming, from the excellent manager George to the restaurant, reception, massage and cleaning crew. A special shoutout to Saii (hope that´s close to being spelled right) who organized and accompanied us on a great sailing trip to Pungume and Kwale Islands, a really great guy. They could do with providing better shampoo products in the bathrooms, and the shower temperature tended to be a bit hit and miss. Apart from that, just a really nice place.

I have just returned from my two-week trip to Zanzibar and was able to have the wonderful experience of staying in this incredibly beautiful hotel which has so much charm and is looked after by a wonderful Sahari staff family and in my opinion every position is perfectly filled. From the very beginning you are given a very warm welcome and everything is shown to you and explained really well. The rooms are very lovingly decorated and always clean. The service staff are very friendly and the food is just perfect with enough choice for everyone and very beautifully presented. There is also a tour guide on site. We also went on tours and everything always went smoothly and to our complete satisfaction :) We also had great live African music at dinner which turned into a great party with a real vibe and we really enjoyed it. The location is also faulty - beautiful sunrises and moonrises right on the doorstep on a sea horizon. Unfortunately it doesn't look as great in the pictures as it was, but I enjoyed the views. In my opinion, the Sahari is in the perfect location. You can get anywhere in no time and it doesn't matter if you come alone, as a couple, family or friends, everyone thinks it's great here. I also had great conversations with almost all of the guests there and there was someone of every kind and everyone shares my opinion that this is a wonderfully loving place and, like me, they would recommend it to everyone. You have peace and quiet when you want it or you can talk to the staff. Everyone is happy to talk to you and that's what I liked best because they make it the place it is :) If there are any technical problems, there is a super maintenance person on site who will take care of it immediately. I could go on writing like this for hours but I don't want to take away from you the experience that you can have like I did and will never forget and I will definitely go back on my next trip to Zanzibar.
