For Africa, in this price range, not much

Fantastic dinner, world class meal prepared and served by owner. Beautifull surroundings with corral reef and sandbank offering perfect morning stroll and swim experiences.

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.

There was nothing we didn't enjoy.

Unique accommodation with fabulous views. Hosts Lesley and Colin went above and beyond to take care of us. We loved every minute and can't wait to go back. Such a beautiful spot, close to local restaurants and bars. Colin's fish menu definitely worth sampling. This is a very special place.

The place is very special and therefore might not be right for everyone. I typically don't write reviews, but as the place is so special (and as I just missed a flight ;)) I would like to help directing the right people into the place: Come here if you are looking for: - a very personal experience with your hosts. After a very short time you will rather feel like visiting friends than being at a hotel. - amazing self-cooked food. Breakfast and dinner is also just like friends cooking for you. Collin is an amazing chef. Try his tuna steak. You will get cheaper offers for dinner in local restaurants, but in terms of quality and quantity they can't compete with Collin. Mind that Collin might not cook every night for you (e.g. when rugby is on), so talk early to him when you want to eat at the lodge. - a calm and spacious place in which you can sit directly at the sea in an exclusivity you will not have in all the nearby high-end hotels. You will have a huge property almost for your own. - very nice other guests. People are chilled and it's true what's written in the other reviews. Collin kicks out people who spread negative vibes ;-) - great views and a lonely sandbank. From the sand beach and pool terrace on the rocks right next to the sea and from the terraces of your bungalow you will have amazing views to the sea. Don't come here if you are looking for: - "Zanzibari 5-star service" in which you have a waiter every 5 meters serving you a cocktail and cleaners cleaning your room twice per day. It's just the 2 people owning the place and 1 employee. - A new hotel with a lot of standardization which was just build 1-2 years ago. The place was built over the past 20 years by the owners. Collin used to be in the construction industry himself so everything is built nicely. He does not like edges and standardization, so you will not feel like in a branded hotel. - Sand beaches to swim. Go to the west side of Nungwi.

Everything was amazing

Amazing in every way. Amazing views, amazing location, amazing hosts, amazing food, amazing value, by staying over at game fish, you are about 25 min walk from the bars etc. This means you get to walk through the village streets. High five the local kids. Chat to the locals. (incredibly friendly and totally safe) or walk along the beach, depending on the tide. And if you don't want to walk back. Jump on the back of a motorbike. And for 80p each get safely back. (I've never been on the back of a motorbike before, and it really isn't a problem), which is another great experience in itself. We absolutely loved the place.

We didn't have anything we didn't like.

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.

Nothing!!! Just leaving!

We want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Lesley and Collin for the most perfect week. We arrived as guests in their beautiful lodge and have left with life long friends. The location is fantastic to explore the island, the food is just delicious. They think about everyone’s every needs and help you in every way they can. Thank you for everything, we highly recommend going and we’ll be back! ♥️

The owners made our stay unique and make us feel like home. Also the location is great! located in the quiet part.

Stayed in February 2023

If you enjoy more an all inclusive hotel with all the thinks that come with it don’t go here and book a 5 star hotel in Nungwi. If you like to be treated as family and open your self for it you will have a perfect stay.

Colin and Lesley are so friendly. Everyday feels like a present. They always present you with an excellent breakfast. And the diner cooked by Colin and Lesley are like a chefs diner. We were only there for three days and wished that we had booked a longer stay. We enjoyed staying there with other guest. Enjoyed the evenings and the sundowner.

Colin and Leslie are lovely hosts who want the best for your stay in their Lodge and in Zanzibar. The lodge is simply beautiful and extremely peaceful: it's just a paradise with private access to the sea and private swimming pool.

The only thing we regret is not staying longer. Had we known how nice it is compared to other places, we would've cancelled our stay in Jambiani/Paje and just made a day trip to there, staying at Game Fish Lodge until the end of our vacation. You can really relax and unwind here, you feel safe and taken care of - so if in doubt like we were, book extra nights at Game Fish Lodge, hire a taxi and do day trips if you really want to enjoy the island.

We absolutely loved everything about this place! The location is outside of the crowded area of Nungwi so ideal for people who want to enjoy some peace. The breakfast is first class (the best!), the rooms are amazing with great sea view and the pool and lounge area are awesome to relax and chill. Collin and Leslie made it homey and gave the whole place a lovely atmosphere. They helped with anything we needed and gave us lots of advice. You can see they take care of every single guest that walks through the door and it makes all the difference. Thank you both for everything, we will miss you :)

Colin and Lesley were fantastic hosts, sharing interesting stories, insights and tips. They took great care of us. The breakfasts were freshly prepared and tasty and Colin cooked the most fantastic sea bass we've ever eaten. The views, the sandbanks and the quiet setting made our stay memorable. We loved the private atmosphere with only 5 rooms. Because the hotel was so small, there was no lunch or service during the day. But drinks were available and several restaurants were close by.

Very calm, quiet area, the beach part is hardly visited. The staff is very nice, the location is very calm with a freshly prepared breakfast every day. Fantastic view of the sea, clean pool, comfortable lounge chairs.

Nothing

This hotel is on the quieter side of Nungwi and has a spectacular view of the sea. There was a sandbank near by, which was nice to walk to during low tide. Very nice pool overlooking the sea. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a warm shower and a sea view. The room was very clean. The breakfast was incredible, the best we had in Tanzania. The owners, Colin and Lesley are lovely people, super welcoming and always willing to help. We had a seafood Christmas meal they made that was epic, best seafood meal ever! This is not a fancy place with cocktails by the pool, but it is homely, quiet and comfortable. We Will book here again if we ever return.

We have totally enjoyed our stay in Game Fish Lodge! Everything was perfect, including great breakfast and tuna for a dinnner! Silent place with comfortable rooms and seaview. Will stay here for sure in our next trip to Zanzibar!

The breakfast was massive and one of the tastiest breakfasts and dinners I have had. The owners are very personable and greet you by your first name every morning when they greet you and make breakfast. The resort is very quiet, private, and safe. The owners offered lots of suggestions to our questions which helped us select certain activities we enjoyed. The dinners are amazing value with insane flavours and quantity. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

location, hosts, peace and quiet,

quiet location, very chill, no one to bother you on beach, fantastic food cooked by Colin and Lesley who are the best hosts I’ve ever come across. They make every single guest feel so welcome and genuinely care about your stay. My daughter and I actually cancelled another hotel so we could stay here longer as just felt so at home. thee are 5 rooms so if you want peace and quiet and friendly hosts this is the place for you. Thank you Colin and Lesley we loved every minute and especially all your stories, what a life x

Nothing to complain about

- Colin and Leslie are amazing hosts that will help with any information you need on where to go/what to see. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed our stay very much! - the room was very well kept, cleaned daily and had a full view of the ocean - great breakfast, freshly made - fantastic dinners on the premises. Colin can prepare you the best lobster you every had and ask Leslie about her desserts! - the pool was cool

The water in the pool could be warmer :)

Wonderful lodge managed by a lovely couple: Colin and Leslie. They really care about every host, and immediately make you feel at home The facilities are comfortable and cozy but not excessively luxurious, just like a proper trip to Africa should be. Rooms are clean with direct view on the beautiful sea. With only 5 rooms available, the privacy and the quiet of the lodge stand out The position is great: direct access to a hidden, wonderful beach, and 20min walk (through an historic village) to the nightlife of Nungwi The food is amazing: breakfast is fresh and plenty and dinner consists of catch of the day. Large portions for small prices To summarize, I’d strongly recommend Game Fish Lodge to anyone looking for a lovely, quiet lodge with a “family-like” feeling in the beautiful Nungwi

Stayed in August 2022

it could be considered a bit far from the real action of Nungwi if that’s what you go for.

It has a wonderful setting on the beach away from the crowds. The owners are hands on a involved which was great. The pool overlooking the ocean was great! The walk to the sandbank for sunrise was memorable.
