Karibu House

Paje Beach, Paje

Located in Paje, 200 metres from Paje Beach, Karibu House provides accommodation with a garden, free WiFi, a shared kitchen, and private check-in and check-out. It is situated 2.3 km from Bwejuu Beach and features a tour desk. There is not one sentence to sum up my 8 day stay at Karibu house but FABULOUS! My room was modern, spotlessly clean, and even came with a small fridge (which definetely comes in superhandy at 30+ degrees). There is a beautiful garden in the middle, where people can work, eat or just chill. The location is perfect: 5 minute walk from the beach and 3 minute from the main square. Last but not least - the two hosts Vanessa and Cristina were super: professional and there for tips and advice, even since before I arrived helping me arrange the driver to pick me up at the airport. On top of that they are amazing two young women, forthcoming, comunicative and friendly with their guests coming from all over the world. They even organize the weekly BBQ for whoever wants to join, and oh boy, they were such amazing cooks! I think I have eaten there my best meal in Paje out of all :D Karibu provided me a sense of safety and belonging and feeling at home that no other place can compete with and that is most important (since I was a solo female traveller). Needless to say, I will be staying at Karibu whenever I am back in Paje!

The villa is very modern but has a touch of "traditional Zanzibar" with beds and the bathroom very unique. The hostw as very quick to respond to our concerns e.g we had an issue with the "shut off" within the bathroom and it was rectified within 30 minutes! All the Daima villa staff were exceptional and provided very excellent and customer oriented service. The chef, the cleaners, the waiters, the guard were all available throughout the day and until 10:00pm for any requests. The villa provided "specialized menu" that was tailored to our family demands
