Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the city, Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar is set in Jambiani and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

Jambiani Beach is 400 metres from the lodge, while Jozani Forest is 26 km away.

We had such a wonderful stay at Sabali! Everyone who works there is so welcoming and friendly. They gave us great recommendations for where to eat, things to do, and what time was best for swimming at the beach. The property is beautiful and there is a garden with so many papaya trees! The accommodations were comfortable, towels were really nice, and the pool was great for cooling off throughout the day. The vibes were very relaxed and peaceful, which is exactly what we wanted. We had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend Sabali lodge to anyone wanting to visit Jambiani.

With pool views, Mkeka Spice Lodge Jambiani is situated in Jambiani and has a restaurant, a shared lounge, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

From the minute I walked into this place, it felt like family. While very comfortable, the property is not 5 star, however the staff are 5 star plus some. I've travelled a bit and have never had service like this place anywhere else in the world. The room was a good size and clean, the food prepared by the chefs was amazing, the outdoor areas were comfortable, the tours were arranged by Haji and Abu for a good price and anytime I needed to go somewhere, I just had to ask. Abu was fabulous company on the long drives. I would not hesitate to recommend Mkeka Lodge to anyone who is looking for accommodation in Zanzibar. Thanks guys for a memorable holiday..! 💗💗

Looking for a lodge?

    What an amazing lodge, in the middle of a local place with a 10 second walk to the beach. Stunning inside with a little dip pool and rooms were so smart and clean. Loved the wood look and naturalness. The garden was stunning amd had a yummy breakfast cooked every morning. Really couldn't fault it at all....

    The lodge/Uhuru is very close to the ocean. The place is small so it’s not crowded with people which is nice. We shared a pool with only our neighbor. That was pure luxury. The people who work there are very friendly. The staff went out of their way to help us arrange snorkeling, taxis etc.

    Stunning location, beautiful lodges. Above and beyond service from Mauro and his team!!!! We accidentally left the painting in the lodge and Te came all the way to Pongwe and brought it back to us!!! Hands down, the best service we received in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Hawa for organising my birthday meal. Also, everyone must try a massage by Dora, she made me feel at easy and very relaxed.

    Really cosy and confortable place with a great bar. We had a wonderful and peaceful break and we were made to feel home away from home during our stay at Driftwood Lodge by our hosts Shona and Ismail, both so very keen to make your stay fautless and memorable.
