I understand that some people write good review for that hotel, because they are influenced by the wonderful sea, and they don't know that everywhere in Zanzibar the sea looks like that.

At the end of October we stayed with Karafuu Hotel. After an amazing safari we were looking for some relaxation. At the Karafuu hotel this was no problem. There was a lovely swimmingpool and beach.

Our family stayed with Karafuu for two weeks in the summer of 2008, after enjoying a fantastic Safari in the Masai Mara national park in Kenya.

Nice bungalows... more

The service is warm and... more
