I came here last year and returned this spring with my boyfriend. It was just as peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing as I'd remembered. Sazani's owners and manager are working hard to make the property environmentally low-impact, which is a rarity on Zanzibar with huge resorts. The staff goes out of their way - we got an impromptu free cooking class... More

I came here after 2 weeks of volunteering in Arusha. It was perfect! A quiet gem off the beaten path of the center of Nungwi. There are several other resorts around it but if you don't want to leave you don't have too! They can arrange day excursions and tours if you like. My biggest decision every day was where... More

Stayed here 11.2.12 for 2 days with a group of work colleagues. This is Zanzibar at its best. Excellent food served and a lovely bar selling reasonable priced drinks. Omar the barman was an asset to this establishment. Great beach jist like the photos of perfect beaches and more. I hope to return.

Sazani is a fantastic hotel with amazing oceans views from its bungalows. The beach is only a short walk from Nungwi but far enough away from the town that there are no touts or hawkers so you can enjoy your slice of paradise undisturbed. There is also a kite surfing school at the hotel. Having walked around the entire northern... More

Quiet, beautiful hotel on a gorgeous beach. This is not for people who like lots of activity but are looking to truly relax and receive excellent service. The staff is wonderful, the food delicious and the beach is the best around. And best of all it is affordable on an otherwise expensive island! Having an individual bungalow was so special... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed here just after new years 2012. The hotel has idyllic views out over the ocean and is run by a wonderful Irish lady called Nikki. The staff are friendly and happy to organise any excursions you're interested in. The food is freshly prepared every day and I didn't have a meal there that I didn't... More

Sazani Beach is a beautiful place to stay if you're looking for accommodation which is a little 'off the beaten track' and sufficiently far away from the crowded touristic center of Nungwi with it's big fancy hotels and beach staff hassles.The current hotel managers seem to have a strong sense for running this place sustainable, trying to avoid harmful impact...

Great and funny staff, good apartment, though shower didnt work so I had to wash myself under the pipe. You get tea on the porch every morning. When you wake up its a stunning view. The sea is beautiful, although the high tide sometimes makes sunbathing impossible in the late afternoon. They have a bookshelf where you can leave books... More

I visited nungwi in August after spending three weeks in Kenya and Uganda. Sazani beach hotel was a perfect choice. The beach was quiet and secluded (and even remained at high tide) but only a fifteen minute walk from the busy nungwi center. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to create a quiet, friendly and safe... More
