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. Free private parking is offered on site.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ♡ THANKS TO THE FANTASTIC CARE OF THE OWNERS COLLIN AND LESLEY WE FELT LIKE FAMILY. FOOD PREPARED WITH LOVE REALLY TASTES GREAT. A TWO-COURSE BREAKFAST WITH PANCAKES WITH FRESH TROPICAL FRUIT, AND AS A SECOND COURSE YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF OMELETTES, EGGS, SAUSAGES, ETC., WILL FILL YOU WITH ENERGY FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT DINNER OF FRESH FISH OR CHICKEN. IT'S A QUIET PLACE WHICH REALLY IMPRESSED US WITHOUT BEACHBOYS AND MASSAI TO HURRY YOU ON THE BEACH. IN THE NEARBY, YOU CAN VISIT BUSY PLACES AND SUBMERGE INTO THE MIX OF NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT, BUT THEN YOU RETURN TO AN OASIS OF CALM, WHERE YOU ONLY HEAR THE RHYTHMIC SOUND OF THE OCEAN, WHICH WILL SLEEP YOU BEAUTIFULLY. WE ARE IN ZANZIBAR FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE ARE GLAD THIS ACCOMMODATION DOES NOT ALLOW SEX TOURISM. THE ADVANTAGE IS ALSO THE SWIMMING POOL WITH CLEAN WATER, WHICH YOU WILL ENJOY USING AT LOW TIDE TIME. IT'S A Pity THAT WE ONLY BOOKED 2 NIGHTS. WE WILL DEFINITELY STAY LONGER NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU.

A Full English/Irish breakfast is available every morning at the guest house. Guests may eat in the on-site restaurant, which is open for dinner, lunch and brunch.

The hotel is still new, so in need of a few small improvements — but this is more than made up for by the staff (Ali and Hassan must be two of the nicest guys in Zanzibar, working round the clock to make every detail as perfect as possible) and the location (two mins walk from the beach). The food is excellent, and the price is incredible value for money. Strongly recommended!

    Great location and very friendly staff. The host Max welcomed us and made sure we had a fantastic stay with great advices. Fresh rooms, cleaned, working air conditioning and fridge. Cosy and very beautiful room. Tasty and variable breakfast. Walk to the beach is about 2 min. We experienced a great show with barbecue on the Wednesday at Babalao. Everything was 10⭐️

    The host is very kind and accommodating. She texted us in advance to explain the route. Breakfast was fresh fruits, toast and tea/coffee and some eggs. The best I had had so far. And the shower was really nice, strong and clean. The bed was comfortable and very clean. And it was only a 5 minutes' walk from the beach. All in all, for this price it was an exceptional stay.

    Ishmael the manager was a great host. Friendly and responsive to questions. Gave me a tour of the neighbourhood upon arrival and organised a snorkelling tour and scheduled transport to stone town. Very close to the beach. And places to eat are plenty. Local or international. Room was a good size for a solo person. Bathroom and toilet facilities were good.
