Makofi Guest House is located in Nungwi, 200 metres from Spanish Dancer Divers. The property offers free WIFI in the common areas and is 100 meters from Nungwi beach.

World Wide Supermarket is 200 metres from Makofi Guest House, while Baobab Tree is 300 metres away. The nearest airport is Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, 55 km from the property.

When in Nungwi, this is the place to be! I stayed there for a week and it was still way to short. I could stay there forever. The minute you arrive, this place feels like home. The atmosphere there is just amazing. Perfect location, just a short walk to the beach, to party places or to amazing local restaurants. Everything is so close. But it is still a very quiet place, so you can get a very good sleep. Staff is so friendly and will help you with everything. Breakfast is amazing. And I also highly recommend to try the BBQ party they organize twice a week.

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.

I chose the Game Fish Lodge after reading carefully all reviews. As other review says, it was a great lodge with hospitality. They helped us to organise our activities providing us with local information. I also liked a lot their breakfast - fruits, crapes, and main breakfast. The internet stability is good. We enjoyed having breakfast looking very beautiful ocen.

The place is a no rules hotel, the owner Crazy Man is really as his name says (which can be a bit disturbing at first but you will get used to his jokes). Basically you will feel like home.

    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.
