The short: Game Fish was such a lovely stay for us - but you have to be a certain kind of guest! This is like visiting family - it's not a big fancy hotel! The Details: The location is amazing but the owners Leslie & Colin are both real gems - I'm serious I cried when we had to leave because they are so genuine. I wish more people in the world were like them. The way to stay is a dying kind of travel.. everything is becoming less unique and more standardized. Leslie & Colin live here and share the space and the island 100% - it's so rare and special to see that while traveling these days. I have both respect and admiration for folks running their business this way. It's a genuine connection. Okay - listen - if you want luxury rooms and 100% reliable air conditioning you may have to reconsider staying here but also like Zanzibar in general. There were rolling black outs - just like all of Zanzibar has - there's nothing to be done about it. When there weren't black outs the air works great and it actually works! Like actual cold air!! And there is a mini fridge which is great, most places don't have that! The bed is comfortable, there's mosquito netting but we didn't need it cuz if you keep the door shut the mosquitos can't come in. The rooms are dated but they're clean. If you think of it like visiting family you'd be in the right mindset. This is a laid back space - it's not an order room service location and stream Netflix. If you have an allergy to bees please be warned those busy ladies love the crepe course at breakfast and if you don't watch it they get a taste of the delicious syrup and it's game over because you can't get them to go away. I did eat my crepe course moving around one day and poor Colin did get stung. They don't care about the second course, the savory one. Yes - the view is beautiful - Nungwi is so freaking busy and then you get to the other side and it's so quiet and nice at Game Fish.. we only had two days but it was very memorable in such a lovely way. Also please go to Manchoo restaurant it was so so good and I keep thinking about it ... I bought this hot sauce from them (added a photo) because I tried it there first and while you can find it all over the island they were kind enough to sell it to me because I didn't want to go looking. I brought some home and I'm determined to make it myself because it's like in the top 5 of hot sauces I've ever had - and I LOVE sauces. I miss you guys, Leslie & Colin! I wish we could host you, too! Let us get our little farm and the invite is there. People like you are why life is beautiful

When I was choosing this hotel with my partner, we knew it would be something special and it really was. As soon as we arrived at the Gamefish Lodge, Leslie greeted us with a warm smile and she said she would take care of us until the end of our stay. At Zanzibar, we tried an expensive 4 * hotel, but it can hardly match our fantastic experience of gamefish lodge. You really get what you see in the photos. Gamefish lodge is one of a few places where the description says "a sea view" and you really get it. The land is huge, but Colin's accommodation capacity is limited to give each guest maximum comfort. This place is not for business, this place is for joy. Unlike the surrounding hotels, where you look into the windows of other guests, in Gamefish Lodge you wake up in the morning with the stunning sunrise. Colin and Leslie are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Their philosophy of life is amazing, so I recommend opening a glass of wine one evening and talking to them. If you've ever read the book A Monk Who Sold His Ferarri by Robin Sharma, it's about Colin. Breakfasts are phenomenal, dinners are even better. Colin knows how to cook fish like no other. I recommend GameFish lodge to anyone who will read this review. This is not just a hotel - this is an experience. We have already travelled a large part of the world, and never visit the same place twice, but we will definitely return here. Leslie and Colin, we wish you a lot of success and thank you for your outstanding Zanzibar experience. We will definitely meet again. David and Marketa - Czechia. :)

Game Fish Lodge is perfectly situated, just outside the hustle and bustle but close enough to see everything very easily. The rooms are dated but clean and functional. There is a bar fridge in each room with a kettle. The coffee etc needs to either be brought up from the eating area or bought yourself. Functioning aircons in each room too. The warmth and hospitality is what sets this venue apart from others. Colin and Lesley are very welcoming and accommodating. A honesty bar is available and we were welcomed to bring our own drink and keep them in their fridges, to consume as we wished. It was like being at a family home. An enjoyable, cooked dinner is available if you notify them in the morning. Crayfish is apparently also available but a few days notice is required. Please be aware, it cash only but then again Colin & Lesley were accommodating for us on the day. Good value for money!

Наш визит в Гейм Фиш Лодж получился спонтанным и, можно сказать, оказался счастливой случайностью. В посленовогодние дни на севере Занзибара был наплыв туристов и отель, который предлагало турагентство, не подтвердил наличие мест. Наш агент набрал Колина и Лесли, и они любезно согласились разместить нас, подстроив под наш визит свой график бронирования номеров. И эта случайность стала для нас воистину счастливой.||По приезду у ворот нас приветствовал улыбчивый Колин, помог занести вещи во двор, где его жена, Лесли, быстро ввела нас в курс местного распорядка. Мы получили ключи от одного из пяти номеров и отправились отдыхать после перелета. Номер уютный, простой, со всем необходимым (кондиционер, мини-бар, шкаф, диван, журнальный стол и зеркало, огромная кровать с отличным матрасом) и без каких либо излишеств. Из окон любого номера открывается просто изумительный вид на океан. Рядом с входом в каждый номер расположено место для отдыха, где можно удобно попить кофе, наслаждаясь фантастическим видом.||Каждое утро к девяти часам Вас будет ждать очень вкусный завтрак состоящий из блинчиков с манго и бананом, свежайшего сока из местных фруктов, кофе или чая по вкусу и мой вам совет, - берегите силы! Это только первая часть завтрака )) На второе Вам предложат на выбор один из нескольких вариантов, и я настоятельно рекомендую блюдо Лесли испанский омлет )))||Ужин можно заказать как отдельную опцию на двоих человек минимум и его приготовят вам к семи вечера. Для этого, скажу я Вам, понадобятся все Ваши силы ))) Сначала будет густой суп из курятины и самодельные хлебные лепешки. И, когда вы вполне сытно им поужинаете, перед вами поставят скромное такое блюдо с пол метра в диаметре с вкуснейшей, сочной и ароматной рыбой свежайшего улова, сдобренной гарниром из овощей, риса и жареной картошки. Это, скажу я Вам, незабываемое гастрономическое удовольствие!||Стоит, конечно же, попробовать кухню во многих других ресторанах на побережье, и Колин любезно подскажет Вам такие места, но такой рыбы, как готовит Колин и Лесли, вы редко где найдете. Маленький совет для планирования поездки, - если Вы захотите отведать местных лобстеров на гриле, заказывайте их только у Колина и сразу же по приезду, найти достойных свежих экземпляров тяжело, а с замороженными или мелкими Колин не будет связываться категорично. ||Также в холодильнике на баре, рядом с бассейном, в круглосуточном доступе есть холодная вода, содовая и пиво, выпивая бокальчик которого, можно любоваться океаном на закате или рассвете, удобно расположившись рядом с бассейном на шезлонгах прямо в первой линии от океана. Это абсолютно непередаваемое ощущение! ||Территория отеля закрыта для прохода посторонних, здесь Вы не встретите назойливых бич боев, шумных ряженых масаев, просто снующих толп шумных туристов. Только Вы и океан, - это одна из самых основных изюминок отдыха здесь.||Пляж в этой части острова более подвержен отливам и приливам, но он более чист и разнообразен, - здесь есть места, где при отливе Вы сможете пройти дальше к рифу (обязательно обувайте специальную обувь) и понаблюдать жизнь чудесных морских обитателей, найти морских звезд и колонии морских ежей, разнообразных рыб и крабов. Метрах в ста от отеля есть песчаная коса из белейшего мелкого песка, уходящая в океан до полукилометра. Отмели возле этой косы являются отличным местом для катания на кайтах.||Если Вы пожелаете более динамичный отдых, то можете пройти или проехать на такси на восточную часть острова, изобилующую барами, ресторанами и дискотеками, а вечером, если будет позволять отлив, прогуляться обратно в отель вдоль побережья при свете луны.||Хозяева Гейм Фиш Лодж любезно помогут Вам в любой ситуации, касающейся отдыха, пребывания на острове, экскурсий, вызова такси или коммуникации с местными жителями. Нам Колин подсказал места для снорклинга на рифе, где совсем не было туристов поблизости. Когда мы захотели поехать в Стоун Таун, он нашел нам таксиста, который не просто свозил нас туда и обратно, но и помог осмотреть достопримечательности. Когда надо было закупиться фруктами, Хилали, помощник Колина, свозил нас по всем местным точкам и мы выбрали все необходимое и в нужном качестве.||Если Вы пожелаете, Колин организует для Вас трофейную рыбалку, которая запомниться вам на всю жизнь. А если повезет, Вы будете отмечены на специальной доске почета с указанием добытого Вами трофея. Совет по рыбалке, - планировать такую рыбалку нужно заранее, до поездки на Занзибар. Результативность рыбалки зависит от множества условий, в том числе и от погодных, и Колин, являясь высокопрофессиональным рыбаком, полностью проконсультирует Вас и поможет спланировать такую рыбалку максимально качественно.||Тишина, уют, забота хозяев и близость океана сделали наш отдых сказочным и незабываемым. ||Уезжать из такого райского места совсем не хотелось и радовало нас только одно, что в это чудесное место мы обязательно...
