What to expect at Karibu Assalam
Karibu Assalam Eco Resort is for you if you want a stay within a living community and an authentic Zanzibar experience, with nature and sustainability in mind. We offer meaningful halal experiences and accommodation while you travel slow, engage with locals and learn while you create your own memories.
Karibu Assalam Eco Resort may not be for you if you want a conventional luxury resort, large buffet restaurants, nightlife or completely private/resort-style experiences.
