Sahari Zanzibar

We had a brilliant stay at Sahari on our honeymoon. Facilities/location: the resort is right on the beach in Bajduu, just north of Paje. There is an incredible pool courtyard with a variety of lounging options, all of which are super relaxing. You can be in the sea and then in the pool within 20 meters at high tide. Restaurant: a very wide menu and all delicious. We didn’t have a single dish that wasn’t delicious during our stay, and all reasonably priced. The seafood platter for 2 was in particular very good, as were the cocktails. A huge plus if you want to spend a day or two chilling at the hotel rather than venturing out. Staff: Sahari really excels here. From the moment we stepped in the door the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They knew our names and were all great hosts, from front desk to the bar staff. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon a special and memorable experience, including a candle lite dinner on the beach. Rooms: we had one of the beach view rooms which had a lovely balcony with seating area looking right over the beach. See photo attached. The bathroom was modern and the rooms had a safe, fridge snd aircon (although sometimes took a while to cool down the room). Very comfortable beds, and turn down service. Activities: we had brilliant massages and also did a great snorkelling, dolphin and seafood lunch trio with Michaelagelo tours organised through the hotel.

Sahari is more than i expected, the compound is always kept clean and beautiful plants in the garden are always attended to. The professionalism and friendliness of the staff is Dearing , also the food is superb. It is a peaceful getaway place. Looking forward to visit again while in Zanzibar.

What a wonderful, welcoming place, right on a gorgeous beach. The place is small enough to feel homely with good food, accommodation and very friendly staff. Everyone made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. Loved it!

"I had a fantastic solo trip at Sahari. The hotel is right by the beach and the rooms are clean. The staff is really friendly. I got a great massage and enjoyed delicious food and drinks at the restaurant. I highly recommend Sahari for a relaxing getaway."

Unforgettable. Very nicely located on the beach. Friendly and service minded staff, helpful and smiling all the time. Kefas, David and Amos thank you for wonderful time over there, Rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. No complaints, whatsoever. Highly recommended We will come back to Sahari

This boutique hotel is just how you envision a paradise resort in Zanzibar. Beautiful plants, palmtrees and a nice swimming pool. We were upgraded to a deluxe room after some bad luck in our first room. Breakfast is enough: toast, eggs, fresh juice and fruits, some pastries, pancakes and good coffee. Lunch and diner were good, especially the seafood spaghetti and the smoothies. What makes this resort outstanding is the kind staff. Thank you Amos, Mollel, Mwajuma and everyone else whose names I don't remember. I'd recommend Sahari Zanzibar to my family and friends.

Nice and clean hotel on the beach in a quiet area. Very nice pool area. I would recommend the hotel to couples. It’s not a place for children. Free water was really great. The WiFi was good. Ac did not work as well as hoped due to the power outages. I would stay here again if I came back to Zanzibar.

Very nice and good boutique hotel. Very clean and beautiful. Friendly and helpful staff. The food and drinks were also delicious. There were every day some minutes problems with electricity and internet. Only short time.

The time spent is Zanzibar was amazing not only for the landscape, but also for the accommodation we had. Let's start with the beginning. When we had just arrived we were expected with fresh wet towels and the most amazing cold delicious mango-passion mocktail. We met George, the manager of the hotel since the first moment and we were delighted of the warm welcoming. Going next, the room was amazing, it had great up view with air conditioning and an amazing big bed. The bathroom was really clean and big. The cleaning service was lovely, the girls prepared a very cute towels arrangements like swan, fish, flower and everyday was a different one! Moving next, we are heading to the middle of the resort, which is the pool and the palm trees. The pool is amazing, the lights, the heat and the structure. We saw a monkey in the palm trees one day, haha! The restaurant - very cosy, nice and it has a great view! What could be more amazing than watching the great Indian Ocean in front of you? The food was delicious, prepared with attention and dedication. In terms of the drinks, I was pleased to find many different cocktails and also my boyfriend was delighted to find Kilimanjaro beer. The massage - very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The girl is very kind and friendly. She has amazing African techniques which are very different than the Europe. Lovely and we really recommend it! The beach in front of the hotel - really nice; it was quite and the tide was low when we arrived. 2 hours later, the Ocean start to come to us and we were happy we could have a bath there. First touch of the ocean - never felt something more special than this: the water was really hot; it was hotter than the air, haha! We let the most important aspect at the end: people & culture from Sahari Zanzibar Hotel. We've met a special friend, who is called Mollel and he guided us everyday. All the questions and requirements we had there he and George were there to answer and help us with everything. Every night we met at the restaurant and told each other the story of the day. It was really great meeting so friendly people and have the chance to share the ideas of each country. The people from the hotel were the most amazing and dedicated we have ever seen since our travelling history. They have a specific way of being - really happy and enjoying life no matter what. Maybe this is part of their culture: being cheerful and always smiling and making sure we had everything we needed. Hakuna Matata was the moto of the holiday - that means we had no worries and we enjoyed as much as we could the days we spent in Zanzibar. All in all, it was one of the best holidays we have ever had and we will come back in the same place for sure; that's a promise. Our friends there are waiting for us and we are sure that Amos and Mary will miss us the most. Greetings to everybody there! Thank you for everything you did for us and take care until we meet again! Asante Sana & Hakuna matata!
