A perfect location on the beach in central Stone Town and close to every thing. The manager personally spends time with guests checking they are enjoying their stay. The hotel has 3 pools overlooking the beach. Around 5pm each day youngsters train doing arcobatics on the beach and around sunset a team of athletes called the Zanzibar Flippers practice their amazing routines using an old truck tyre buried in the sand as a trampoline. The Tembo does not serve alcohol, but wonderful juices, and if you fancy something stronger next door is the Livingston bar to watch the Flippers work their magic.athletes ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place in Zanzibar Fantastic service.
