Having arrived in Zanzibar in the middle of the night, I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to the beautiful scenery of Paje beach staring right at me from my lodge window. I cannot recommend Ndame enough for the beautiful location and pleasant staff. The lodges are located right on the beach, you can literally roll out of bed and onto a sun lounger. Having visited in February the accommodation was also not too busy. The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable, nothing flash, but perfectly befitting this style of accommodation. All excursions, airport pick ups and drop offs were well organized.

I was lucky enough to spend time with the owner, Hans, who is a very nice, friendly man with many an interesting story to tell. The food here is also very good, breakfast is plentiful and great coffee and spice tea are available all day. Dinner is also great and can be enjoyed right on the beach....perfect.

Thanks to all at Ndame for a great stay!!!

Thanks so much for your kind review of our little paradise on the beach. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope we can repeat your enjoyable experience some other time! Some guests do get lucky to have a chat with our big boss Hans - it is always entertaining to listen to one of his many stories and insight into the island.
All the best from the Ndame Beach Lodge team

I have had a most enjoyable and relaxing 10 days at Paje beach in Zanzibar and for the biggest part this is thanks to my stay at Ndame.

Communication during the booking process was clear and quick. They can help you with travel information, transfer from the ferry at Stone town or the airport or booking day trips to swim with dolfins, free bikes to explore the island, etc.

The location is just perfect. All the bungalows are practically built on the beach in a lovely garden setting with nice plants, flowers and coconut trees. They are clean with good beds and showers and plenty of space. A fan and a constant sea breeze through the windows make them very comfortable. The total area of Ndame Lodge is huge, with lots of private spaces with sunbeds,overlooking the Indian Ocean.

The restaurant is run by a European chef and has a very nice selection of local Swahili food, pizza's and Western cuisine. You can enjoy the breakfast every morning with your feet in the sand and freshly baked eggs prepared by the cook.

Best of all is the staff, from the reception to the waiters to the cleaners. They speak very good English and everyone is genuinely friendly here, laughing, helpful and just seemingly happy to be working at this beautiful place.

Definitely recommended for a super relaxt vacation without worries!

Thank you very much for taking your time for such a lovely review of our little paradise on the beach. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us from beginning until end, and we are glad to hear that you made the most out of your stay. We are only thinking that you must have played your charm with someone at the reception, since the bikes are not for free as such but can be rented - you must have had a nice smile and our staff decided to give you a freebie, lucky you! Anyways, thank you for giving such a wonderful description of our place - it sure is a little piece of haven!
We hope to see you here again soon, all the best from the Ndame Beach Lodge team

My personal opinion is that no one could say Ndame isn't good..it is way above good! I would recomend to everyone who want to go to Zanzibar to visit this place even just for a dinner..food is delicious! They can be sometimes a bit slow in bringing what you have ordered, but that is because they are overbooked.

Wow - thank you soooo much for this lovely review! We are glad to hear that you enjoy your stay with us and hope to welcome you here again one day! During peak season we do get a lot of guests, particular in the restaurant, and while we do our best to keep everyone happy, the speed of service can sometimes be slower than usual. That said, we try to keep the friendliness and relaxed atmosphere going, and in that we are quite successful.
Sunny greetings and all the best from the Ndame Beach Lodge team

A wonderful week on a beautiful beach surrounded by Masai and friendly Ndame staff, who did their best to teach us Swahili and introduced us to delicious local cuisine. Thoroughly looking forward to visiting again for some kite surfing and diving!
