I booked this accommodation for what was suppose to be 2 nights only, and thereafter I was to leave, stay in other areas around the island to explore. The property is just like the photos, if not better! It’s quiet, intimate, super clean and very close to Nungwi beach & a variety of restaurants. I loved it so much that I decided to extend my stay by a further 3 nights!! As a solo traveller, safety and security was a top concern for me. The property is safe, there is a security guard at the entrance during the day & evenings. The food is delicious, the staff is attentive and excellent! I was fortunate to be welcomed by the owner Max when I arrived on the 5th of November! I appreciate that he took time to meet me and explain everything to me - where the closest ATM is, how to get to the beach and he shared some really great tips for my stay on the island!! I can’t recommend this place enough. If I ever come back to Nungwi again, I’d definitely stay here! My room is beautiful, comfortable with hot water. The WiFi is also great here, very stable!

Everything was excellent, as soon as I’ve crossed the gate to African Bungalow’s, I knew this bungalows have something special. Firstly I came across the owner and I’ve already felt extremely welcomed and well taken care of. All staff working there is super nice, helpful, kind and smiley. Rooms are spacious, very clean, all of them have terrace. Mine specially had pool view (if I’m not mistaken all of them are in front of the pool), so you can enter the pool straight from your terrace which is great. Fact that bungalows have pool is amazing as it gives you a chance to rest a bit from sometimes busy beach around. Walk to the beach is like 2 minutes which is huge advantage of that place also. In general location is perfect. Breakfast is excellent. Amenities in the room are great, AC works perfectly! I’m really grateful to come across this bungalows as it gave me lovely memories! I can highly recommend this place and I promise, you don’t regret staying there. I’m sure I will come back here next time :)

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! Everything was excellent from start to finish. I booked a package that included breakfast and dinner, and every meal exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Chef Kilash, who prepared delicious meals with great care and creativity. Also, I truly appreciated the restaurant supervisor, who was very attentive and ensured everything was perfect during my stay. What made the experience even better were the privacy and luxurious amenities — a private pool, a beachfront location, and a spacious, comfortable room. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and elegance. Thanks to the administration.

The location of the accommodation right on the beachfront was phenomenal, with amazing sunrises every morning reminiscent of an English breakfast. The hosts were always quick to respond and help. The room was very clean and tidied up daily. The air conditioning in the room, especially on an island where it gets hot, is fantastic. Soap, shampoo, and towels were always available upon request, which made for a pleasant stay for travelers.
