"The property was in a good location to get to Stone Town and the ferry. Booking thru Expedia led to some confusion at checkout as their Expedia payment system was initially declined so we had to go on Expedia chat followed by a phone call to the facility to straighten everything out. Expedia could make that process much less confusing. The included breakfast was a nice treat and while I mostly take the stairs, the elevator was not working for half our stay. Overall though the stay was lovely...

"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."

Tembo Kiwengwa Resort

8/10 Good
"I don't really stay in resorts so I don't have much to compare. The grounds, facilities and rooms were immaculate and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from my room was stunning and the beach was also immaculate. Some things did come up that made my stay a little less enjoyable. This is an alcohol free resort, this was my fault for not realizing but there were restaurants nearby that served alcohol We left our previous hotel to catch a flight to Zanzibar at 4am. We arrived at the hotel starving. Unfortunately it was in between breakfast and lunch so no food options. We were advised that there were restaurants that serve all day which was not the case for us. We went door to door and were told 12:30. We finally found one and it took 1 hr and 15 minutes for our food which was past 12:30! We would have been fine with a premade sandwich Other minor things, we could not have 2 keys for our room so my friend and I couldn't really do our own thing without one of us being locked out. It also would have been helpful to have an ATM nearby. We wanted to leave tips but ran of of cash"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ng'Ambo?
For most visitors to Ng'Ambo, the best area to stay is Stone Town, which is the historic core of the city.

Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its winding alleyways, coral stone buildings, and intricately carved wooden doors. It's a compact and walkable area, with landmarks like the Old Fort, Forodhani Gardens, and the House of Wonders all within easy reach. The main streets like Creek Road and Kenyatta Road define the edges of its most popular sections.

Couples often find Stone Town ideal for a romantic trip. The narrow streets are great for leisurely strolls, discovering hidden courtyards and rooftop restaurants with views of the Indian Ocean. The evening food market at Forodhani Gardens offers a unique dining experience right on the waterfront.

Solo travellers will also appreciate Stone Town for its accessibility and the sheer number of guesthouses and boutique hotels.
When is the best time to go to Ng'Ambo?
The best time to visit Ng'Ambo is during the dry seasons, which run from December to February and again from June to October.

These months offer consistently sunny skies and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the historic Stone Town and relaxing on the nearby beaches. You'll find less humidity and generally calm waters for activities like snorkelling and diving.

Travellers looking for a beach holiday will appreciate the December to February period. The weather is superb for sunbathing and swimming, and the sea breezes keep things comfortable. It's a popular time, so booking your accommodation and any excursions in advance is a good idea.

For those interested in exploring the cultural and historical sites of Ng'Ambo, the June to October dry season is excellent. The cooler temperatures make walking around Stone Town more comfortable, and you'll still enjoy plenty of sunshine for day trips to spice farms or other attractions.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Ng'ambo.
How much is the nightly rate at a Ng'ambo hotel?
Prices for hotels in Ng'ambo often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $49 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
