At the apartment complex, every unit is equipped with a desk. Accommodation includes a terrace with garden views, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor dining area and a private bathroom with shower. At the apartment complex, all units come with bed linen and towels. Baobab Bungalows in Jambiani is a true gem! Located at the beginning of Jambiani village, it’s just a short 4-minute walk to the beach and conveniently close to Paje. Despite its proximity to the main road, the bungalows are far enough to ensure a peaceful stay without any noise disturbance. The property offers cozy bungalows and spacious apartments, all well-equipped with a kitchen and necessary amenities. Our large bed was incredibly comfortable, and we had no issues with the WiFi, fan, or AC. Every bed also comes with a perfectly suitable mosquito net, ensuring a good night's sleep. One of the standout features of our stay was the exceptional staff, especially Barbara. She is Dutch, with excellent communication skills and a proactive attitude. Barbara was always willing to help, offering great tips on places to visit and ensuring any problem we faced was promptly resolved. Originally, we planned to stay for just two days, but the relaxing and calm atmosphere made us extend our stay for a week. This place quickly became our number one choice in the Paje/Jambiani area. The property also features a beautifully maintained pool, which is always clean and inviting. Additionally, we appreciated the presence of three lovely dogs on the property. They were not intrusive at all; rather, they were friendly and happy to receive some petting from guests. Thank you, Baobab Bungalows, for an unforgettable stay!
