Tembo House Hotel is a historic waterfront property located in the heart of Stone Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site, directly on the Shangani seafront. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century Swahili merchant's house, the hotel blends traditional Zanzibari architecture — carved wooden doors, coral stone walls, and shaded courtyards — with modern comforts. Its prime location places guests steps from the Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens night market, and the labyrinthine alleyways of Stone Town's historic quarter.
The hotel is a long-standing favorite among safari operators as the go-to Stone Town stopover for guests arriving on Zanzibar before or after a mainland Tanzania safari. Its seafront restaurant and terrace offer stunning sunset views over the Indian Ocean, and the small swimming pool provides a welcome respite after exploring the town. Tembo House strikes the right balance between authentic Stone Town character and reliable mid-range comfort, making it ideal for one- or two-night stays in the historic district.
