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.

Great and a comfy stay! Will definitely be coming back! Location: the location is quite convenient. It’s right next to the main road going to Paje and 5-10 minutes walk away to the ocean. The building is in Jambiani village which is famous for its sweet, hospitable locals, and great beaches! Supermarkets and shops are all nearby. Check in: Thomas the owner who oversees things personally, was kind enough to arrange for an early check in despite the short notice. He’s easygoing and friendly to deal with. Easy and straightforward process. They accept cards without giving you the looks (many properties in Jambiani don’t happily accept cards). You can use Apple Pay or Samsung Pay. The place itself: this is a brand new building with great finishing. The owner takes pride in his trees and the villa is surrounded by greenery inside it. There’s a pool, kitchen with a big new fridge for guests to store food, shower facilities next to the pool. There’s also a terrace upstairs with huge area for people who wanna have some privacy or do calls or just relax. It offers a nice 360 view of the village on all sides. The rooms: the rooms are quite modern and they are practically designed and equipped with everything you want. The ac was working perfectly and it was a relief in hot afternoons and nights (many properties don’t have ac or it doesn’t work). Really comfy beds (probably the best bed and mattresses I slept on in Zanzibar), a safe which is quite handy, a little desk if you have work, big washroom with great water pressure, everything in the room was brand new and working fine. The internet: I had couple of meetings and was suffering from the poor internet in other proper I. The wifi really saved me. The experience: the owner who was also staying at the property is warm and makes sure to check in on you and see if you need anything (the stay itself, directions, restaurant recommendations, etc.

    It’s a good hotel for children and families. They have a Safari sister hotel in the Selous national park which was why we stayed there and that was FANTASTIC! The hotel in the national park is basic but clean and comfortable with a swimming pool, LOVELY staff and good food! The park and staff for the Safari were brilliant!

    Not just an accomondation. Super friendly and helpful manager and staff in an almost family environment make this place special. We were comfortable, enjoyed our time a lot and even stayed a day longer than planned. Food and drinks in the lodge own restaurant are amazing.

    Great and attentive staff - super housekeeping, great restaurant staff (thank you Misuna and colleagues!), efficient and welcoming front desk. Jambiana is a chilled stretch of beach. Perfect for a relaxing stay after an intense Safari experience.

    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.

    Beautiful view from the room we booked. Hotel has a guest manager who checks in on all guests, which is a nice touch. Hotel has 2 other hotels that they work with so they try to keep it interesting, with breakfast moving between the lodges. It's right on the beach so easy access to many restaurants and hotels in the area.. Water cooler for guests and glass bottle in room so you can refill water anytime you need, with the blazing heat in Zanzibar, this was a nice touch.
