The room and the facilities are very comfortable. The breakfast is rich and delicious. The owner and his assistant, Viktor are exceptionally friendly and helpful in really everything. The biggest help was that Viktor arranged motorcycle taxi (boda-boda) every day to the beach. The price is 3.000. TSH. for one way. Thank you again Jusuf and Viktor for the cosy accomodation :)

Thanks to everyone 🙏 You can ask them for any tips, they are so friendly and always willing to help. I really loved the Makofi design. This place has an amazing vibe. I stayed there for 9 nights and i felt already home. I arrived very early in the morning, they let me leave my stuffs there and chill on the nice swings until my check-in time.

Carpe Diem is the place to stay in nungwi. Haluk and Nana are just amazing hosts! We got so many tips and help for our stay, it was super friendly of them. Also the place is really perfect, the rooms are big and clean. We also had dinner and the aubergine salad is really tasty as well as the avocado juice! Last but not least, Haluk helped us to find a good transportation to the other side of the island. Everyone is so friendly at Carpe Diem.
