Nature eco lodge holiday rentals in East Africa

Peaceful, soothing, and surprising place. Warm welcome. Thanks to Brian for his delicious food. Thanks to Kwenia for her bush walk and the very moving village visit. Thanks to the team for the beauty of the site. And above all thank you to Tom (and his expert eye) who made us live a simply perfect safari in Amboseli: he worked hard to make us the most often alone with animals, positioning ourselves for the best photos, giving us explanations and always with a smile and kindness, for one of the best days of our lives! Bravo to you and THANK YOU

The lodge is right on the lake with greenery surrounding and some tortoises and rabbits running around. The pictures don’t do this place justice. You just have to be there. The place has an antique vibe. You wake up to the beautiful view of the lake and sounds of the birds. You can kayak, swim, feed fish or rent out a boat out into the lake either sundowner or during the day or they organise for you to see other lakes (Green crater lake). The staff are extremely helpful and polite. They give local recommendations, especially as I was travelling alone they made sure I was safe especially in moving around. I want to extend my utmost gratitude to the team. I felt right at home. Thank you so much!! Highly highly recommend. Book it don’t even think about it, it’s one of the best spots on the lake.

Hilltop Boutique Hotel is a perfect station on Mahe in every way and great starting point for things to do on the island as well as island hopping. Above all, the person room boasts special kindness! We will definitely come back!

Our stay went perfectly well! Anouck gave us plenty of good advice and was always available. Clean apartment with all the essentials (ceiling fan in all rooms). Special mention for Anouck's restaurant and her partner just below the apartment: Homemade metropolitan cuisine, it was delicious! Accommodation close to several places to visit (Cilaos, Saint-Pierre, Les Makes...) I highly recommend it!!

This is a lovely and peaceful place on the beautiful beach of Matemwe. Jamal and the staff were all very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The hotel has a generator which is indispensable because there are daily power outages in Zanzibar. The A/C in the room was great also. The only difficulty I had was with the WiFi which worked only at the restaurant. I would love to return again!

Amazing stay! Super safe neighborhood, great food, attentive and kind staff ready to help. More of a hotel than an airbnb, and 100% worth every penny!! Norman was always ready to help us and even drive us! Amazing stay!

This is a great place to stay for a visit to Ibo island. It is also a great option for people on a smaller budget. Rooms are beautiful and stylish. From (Baob)Ibo you can arrange all your trips around the Quirimbas!

If you choose to stay with the St. Gemma Nuns you will not regret it! I stayed with them for 4 weeks this summer while interning at a research foundation in Dar Es Salaam. As a woman staying in Dar Es Salaam by myself, living with the St. Gemma Nuns was the perfect place. It is simple and peaceful, but everything one would need. The nuns are kind and welcoming. They instantly make you feel at home and looked after. Location-wise it is also very nice, within walking distance of a large supermarket and close to multiple good restaurants and cafes.

This was an amazing stay and my family and I will cherish some amazing memories from here. Jacques and Jolande are excellent hosts. They were very welcoming, extremely helpful and gave us a lot of local recommendations to check out. They even made necessary arrangements like adding a single bed in our room for our kids upon request. Jolande also booked us for a safari in Pridelands (Greater Kruger). The safari guide came and fetched us from our lodge and dropped us back. This was an incredible experience. We got to see some amazing wildlife. The lodge was clean and as described. It’s very safe. It’s inside a wildlife estate and we were visited by nyalas, hornbills, bushbabies and other fauna. I had some amazing, scenic jogs with the wildlife on the estate. Can’t wait to come back again. Great place for kids too. There are some excellent restaurants just outside the estate as well. All attractions and experiences are just a short drive away. Highly recommended ❤️.

An unexpected gem tucked away in Muhoroni. I loved the landscaping. The lush green gardens added to the zen atmosphere. Staff was super welcoming and responsive. Food was good. I especially enjoyed the fruit. The room was clean and comfortable. Certainly found my go to spot when in Muhoroni.

Amazing accommodation. We definitely recommend opting for the breakfast and dinner, food is amazing!! Take a pair of tekkies, they have amazing hiking trails with waterfalls. Definitely recommend. Note: I recommend activating maps long before as there are no signal in the mountains on the way there. Also the pin on airbnb took us to a remote location and was far off. Rather google the lodge and use that location. We will def go again.

The place was amazing, we got plenty of rest as it was very peaceful. The rooms were beautiful with a lot of space, they were also constantly clean.We were a group of 12 and fit in perfectly. Maurice and the staff were also very friendly.

....aaaah. what a beautiful lodge. amazing ambience and location. it was such a delightful stay ..and the food. goodness. The staff were totally friendly and kind to us. so helpful it was totally worth it. so so amazing

Tonga House is a beautiful place to unwind and have relaxing time! All was very clean, comfortable and perfect for our little family. Also Msuna Island is a special and wonderful place to stay! Only a bit sad that the river was almost dry on our side of the island, we are hoping it comes back to its natural state...

The place smells divine🫶🏾 and squeaky clean👌🏾. The hosts are amazing! Would definitely recommend, it’s worth every penny.

This is the best airbnb i've ever stayed in. The cottage is beautiful, plus you get breakfast and a free transfer off the ferry to the hotel. Chef Chima is amazing and cooks whatever you want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the place is well located on a street with markets. There is also always free tea and coffee on demand in the house and drinking water, couldn't fault a think and the service was superb. We booked 3 extra nights because qe loved it so much!

Great hosts, pool was clean, the area is good for a group stay & hosting. The Kitchen had everything we needed

An amazing experience would have love to spend more time there especially over a weekend. Sandy is a really lovely lady and awesome host. If farm stay you like I would definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful lodge by the Zambezi. Great value for money. Communication with Wayne went very smooth - Wayne is very friendly, responsive and accomodating. We were hosted by Charity and team who were most welcoming. We very much enjoyed the vegetarian meals she prepared for us. A unique place we would definitely recommend!

Vian is a perfectly attentive host to the well-being of his residents. Their advice and information are valuable. The accommodation as well as the setting is ideal for a change of scenery.

We had a good stay with a very comfortable bed. Also the nice swimming pool was a welcome sight

was a very nice place to unwind after after a hard days work. I totally vouche for Alpha Homes

The place is really nice and has many smart ecologic decoration made with recycled materials and a lot of creativity. For now the place is on renovation but we still managed to sleep in a very comfortable and clean private room. The host is super nice and very open to international community members. We had a very good time!

District Relatives offers beautiful and peaceful surroundings, making it a truly unique place to stay. The beach is easily accessible, and there are plenty of activities available, many of which are recommended by the helpful staff. The food is delicious, though on the pricier side. I would definitely recommend this place.
