Zuzanu house

At the bed and breakfast, all units have a desk. Every unit has a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while certain rooms include a balcony and some have sea views. At the bed and breakfast, every unit includes bed linen and towels. The rooms are very large, spacious and decorated with simplicity and style. There is no shortage of amenities, the pool is small but perfect for the space and anyone staying here will certainly not regret it, as it is an extraordinary experience. Even more extraordinary is the way you are welcomed by the owner, Zuzanu, a charming woman who knows how to host. And of course, Baraka, always with a smile on his face and very helpful. The space is in the middle of the village and you can experience tranquillity and security (only guests have access to the space), without losing the charm of living with local life.

She explain what is environment, where are shops, ocean etc. But additionally Vanessa taking people to the parties! She spending time together with guest if they want. So You don't need even going to extra trips, cuz with Vanessa You will have a lot of option to choose. Before I came to Karibu House I was on different hotel, and there was nice, but almost all time I was sitting in my room. When I decided to come to Karibu house my life was changed. Vanesse took me to the people. She show me the side of Zanzibar, that I can't even imagine. I saw parties that I never meet even in Europe! Eg. There was a party with swimming pool! Till this moment I saw something like this only in movies. But now it is part of my self experience and I met on this party my present girlfriend (we are together for 2 month)! What is very special in Vanessa personality that she know where is excellent balance between inviting on party, getting interesting of guest and respect of privacy. She didn't ask not comfortable question. Thanks to it everyone feels very well and safe in her company. Definatelly I can recommend Vanessa to person who is must meet in Zanzibar! Karibu is very beautiful place. There are colorful flowers, trees and plants. Thanks to it I felt very nice and relaxing only by sitting in this environment. Outside of room is place for chill and meet some people from other rooms and can exchange experience and spent together nice time. Thanks to this atmosphere people are very kind, peaceful and have joy from being in Karibu. Vanessa is the best additional value of this place. She makes difference. Very close to beach and to shops. Karibu is located in center of everything. Very good located place and cheap.
