The beach is amazing. but what capped it off was the dinner prepared by the local chef. we got there by daladala from stone town and locals were pretty helpful in directing us to the lodge which is tucked away in the middle of a zanzibari village but only a few meters from...

“Good for group booking”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

Quite a cool little place. Not on the beach but has nice views from elevated position. The dorm room made this an affordable option for a group, Budget accommodation being a rarity in this part of the Island. Saying that the Kiwengwa area is a little soulless in comparison with North (Kendwa/ Nungwi) and South East Coast (Jambiani/ Paje). However... More

“Unique architecture and fantastic beach”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

I enjoyed staying in a dorm at Baby Bush Lodge for two nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic, with a vide variety of fresh fruit. The lodge is located about 50metres from the beautiful beach, and I really enjoyed to go swimming. The area around Baby Bush Lodge has a very local atmosphere, with... More

“Perfect chilled out place to spend a few weeks”

Reviewed 13 March 2013 via mobile

Baby bush is the perfect place to chill out at very reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and are very helpful. The food is tasty. The bar is a great chill out with lots of large sofas to lounge around reading books, chatting or even taking a little dip in the small pool. Both rooms I had were basic but... More

If you look for an affordable place in kiwengwa the baby bush lodge is the place. for $15 you get a realxed environment with helpful staff, pretty good food, great drinks, a lot of fun and an opportunity to learn how to play bao. I miss zanzibar already.

“Disappointed”

Reviewed 14 December 2012

Arrived and the staff didn't even have our booking correct, rooms were in need of a revamp and overpriced in comparison to the rest of Zanzibar. The chill out area and the pool are a genuine plus however.

Hi really sorry you felt this way. Unfortunately we have been getting difficulties from hostelworld.com as they have been making bookings and not informing us, as was the case with your reservation. The room you were staying in was our most basic at 45$, it has no sea view. The cheapest double in kiwengwa is 370$ so i dont think... More

Reviewed 12 December 2012

Baby Bush is the cutest, cleanest and coolest place to stay in Zanzibar. It's affordable! During my stay in August 2012, I fell in love with the lodge, the staff and the local food. The lodge is a few meters from the beach and looks postcard perfect! What I love about the lodge is its 'unique' location amongst the expensive,... More
