I have just spent a week in Karamba with 3 friends and we have been delighted to have discovered such a place. The atmosphere is so relaxing, the staff so helpful, the location so magnificent (top of a 6-meter cliff, all the bungalows with a view to the sea), the food so healthy, the calmness so catchy. Upon checking-in we... More

I feel I must respond to the review dated March 14/12. This little bit of paradise was exactly that....rustic, open-air feeling with an ocean breeze in the evening. The resort was clean and the staff was friendly. The rooms were quite adequate and had ceiling fans instead of air conditioning which is fine in my books for a piece of... More

This resort, located in the seemingly yet almost unexplored south west of Zanzibar is a fantastic place to unwind, eat delicious food and practise ayurvedic therapies like yoga. The beach, next to Kimkikazi village, could not be more beautiful as well as picturesque. This small village of fishermen fish away on the beach everyday, when the tide is still low,... More

so we arrived at Karamba, it was over 40 with the humidity, the rooms aren't air conditioned and there is a ceiling fan that tries unsuccessfully to move air. Our toilet seat was attached with rope, which broke the 2nd day. It did get replaced that day but why wouldn't it have been fixed before our group of 14 got... More

Our family stayed four nights at the Karamba and loved it! The resorts' location and layout is amazing. Every bungalow is literally only a few meters from a coral cliff overlooking the ocean. The pool is beautiful and and looks over the water. The staff was very friendly. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced. The rooms and beds were... More

Karamba is my favourite in Zanzibar. Rooms, services, meals and views, everythings incredible. Everybody must watch sunset form Karama, it's really fantastic! If you choose a room with open sky bath you'd try to shower under the rain, awesome experience... By the way pizza and pina colada were great too... Highly recommended! More

Stayed 3 nights at Karamba hotel in Kizimkazi. It is for Zanzibar standards very reasonably priced and you get good value for Your money. The rooms are small and simple (standard rooms) but spotless and nicely furnished. The open air shower is an extra twist. There is a little nice beach, access to the ocean via a stair down the...

Karamba Resort is a great place to relax. Stayed 3 days here in a standard room, which featured an open air shower off the bathroom. The swimming pool is really great with sun loungers around, a great place to read a book. Food is great and the staff make you feel very welcome. Would recommend to anyone who just wants... More

My stay at Karamba was awesome, and I did return, with a friend and stayed for longer. Finally finding an actual beach where I could walk and had the best swim. Location couldn't be better. Best Yoga. Coolest owners. Calm, quiet without the hustle you have in most beaches in Zanzibar. The lounge area was brilliant: spacious, overlooking the sea,... More
