Game Fish Lodge Reviews

Description

Game Fish Lodge with its easygoing atmosphere will mellow you out in no time. It is a place to escape to and relax. The location of the Lodge allows you the seclusion of perfect tranquility yet close enough to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Nungwi Village. Beautiful sunrises are an everyday thrill for the early riser and moonlit nights, listening to the ocean, create an unforgettable experience.

All the rooms have their own patio with a wonderful view of the ocean and surrounding coconut trees where you can sit and enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar.

The rooms are all en-suite, fully tiled with hot and cold water. The rooms have standing and ceiling fans. Mosquito nets ensure a peaceful night’s sleep, with the sound of the ocean rounding off a relaxing day in paradise. Laundry services are available. Each room has a Tanzanian mobile phone. All telephone numbers for the dive operators, taxis and other tours are displayed in the rooms. Each phone is loaded with 1000 Tsh airtime. Extra airtime vouchers can be purchased at the Lodge should it be necessary. Each room has a first-aid kit available for their use.

The Shark Tank Sports Bar
Game Fish Lodge has a fully stocked sports bar with cold beers, selected wines and spirits. With cable HD TV and a big screen, you can kick back and relax while catching up on your favourite sports or relax with a book or magazine from our library. In the evenings you can enjoy the music of Africa while watching the moon rise above the ocean, under the most beautiful star-studded skies in Zanzibar. Tea and coffee is available free of charge all day.
Sun Deck
Relax and unwind on our sundeck. The deck offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Nungwi’s north-east coast stretching up to Mnemba Island. From here you can watch the local fishing dhows, the local fishermen catching octopus, the local women collecting food from the tidal pools and the children playing. The sun deck’s elevation makes it both private and peaceful – it’s also great for tanning.
Dining
Game Fish Lodge has two restaurants. Our outdoor Sports Bar restaurant caters for lunches offering fast foods such as peri-peri/lemon and garlic chicken and chips, fresh fish and chips and hamburgers. The indoor Lodge Restaurant is for dinner only where a three course meals is served. Our meals consist of the freshest ingredients and are prepared daily. Our cuisine offers a fusion of South African and Swahili flavours. On windless evenings we offer barbecues on the beach.
Internet Café
We also have a 24hr Internet service free of charge. It is fitted with a camera and microphone so video calls can be made at any time. There is also a small shop with a selection of snacks and souvenirs.
Other Facilities
We offer a wide range of activities including deep sea fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving as well as a wide variety of tours and excursions, including the famous Zanzibar spice tour, sunset boating cruises, Jozani Forest treks, and Stone Town and Nungwi Village tours. Game Fish Lodge also has 2 motorbikes which can be rented. If you wish to make use of the transport, please bring an international driving license.
Game Fish Lodge is the home of Game Fish Tours operating out of the North Nungwi area in Zanzibar . Our operation specializes in deep sea fishing in Zanzibar. The zest of our business is to reach serious, passionate anglers from around the world and offer them accommodation and fishing specials to make fishing in Zanzibar more affordable. If you enjoy fishing at its best and deep sea fishing is your passion, then Game Fish Tours is for you. If you have never been on the ocean and want to feel the thrill of landing a hard fighting tuna or big Giant Trevally we will teach you and show you how it’s done.

Game Fish Tours is for everyone that simply loves fishing. We also target certain species for fishermen at their request.
