Why we book it
Shaba is a small hotel in the lanes of Stone Town rather than on the seafront, which is the point: you step out of the door and into the town. Rooms are quiet for their position and breakfast is on the roof.
It is the Stone Town night on our fly-in safari combinations, where you arrive from a long flight and leave again for the Serengeti in the morning, so a bed close to everything matters more than a beach.
Our mainland safaris quote this lodge or similar: a property of the same standard if it is full or has moved with the season. The exact lodge is named in your proposal, before any payment.
