Babalao Bungalows

4.8(376 reviews)

About

Babalao Bungalows in Zanzibar sits on Nungwi Beach Street No.3 in Nungwi, on the northern tip of the island. The bungalows hold a 4.8 out of 5 average from 376 reviews. Nungwi and neighbouring Kendwa are the island's northern beach villages, while Stone Town, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe lie elsewhere along the coast.

This is a hotel, and its reputation rests on the beachfront setting at Nungwi. Guests booking here should expect a northern-coast stay rather than a Stone Town base. The website, babalaozanzibar.com, carries the booking detail.

Pilau, biryani, urojo soup and octopus stew are common dishes on the island, so seafood and spiced rice are easy to find. Zanzibar and Pemba share a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast.

First-time visitors should plan for the humidity and the coastal breezes that come with it. Nungwi's position at the northern tip puts it well away from Stone Town, the old quarter of Zanzibar City, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built from coral stone. A 4.8 out of 5 average from 376 reviews reflects how guests have received the bungalows.
