Location is simply stunning - and beautifully quiet. Nature at its very best. The lodges were very simple and perfect for the location. We were supremely well looked after by Adam and his team. The food was all local, fresh and beautifully cooked. Pemba Lodge really is one of a kind if you are looking for a simple, natural getaway. A truly amazing place!
After a week of disappointing hotels in the Zanzibar archipelago we found a place that made us feel we were getting good quality for our money. The place is comfortable, beautifully situated, clean. The staff, especially Jennifer and Kasib, made us feel we were looked after at all time. If you go to Pemba, and you should, you need to be here!
This place has been thoughtfully designed by the founder, Ashok who is overlooking the daily operations. Staying here is a fantastic experience in many ways. Ashok and team excel in delighting all guests, big or small.
We loved the amazing and various food they made us everyday. The terasse when we could chill and the super nice and helpful staff. Last but not not least, the nice discussion with Dennis, you is running the lodge.
It is an excellent location for other activities on the island. Friendly staff and nice meals. Only a few mosquitos. The vibes of the area are fantastic, and the bungalows near the water have a romantic feeling.
The place is natural, quiet and unpretentious. It does not invade the environment, and does not give the feel of wanting to make money out of you. It is very small - a capacity of 12 beds only - and so the sense of peace and harmony with the environment is deep. A rare find which I will return to. You need to be prepared to walk a little way to the lodge if the tides are low, and you need to be a nature lover. We had 2 brilliant snorkelling trips - other ventures are offered. The food was delicious - beautifully prepared, yet simple. Most of it is drawn from the island itself and is fantastically healthy stuff. I was a single traveler, and recommend this for singles. Not for you if you're a sophisticated traveler.
