The Place Called Home
A story of heart and soul, our lodge was born from a fateful meeting in Zanzibar between Joseph and Birgit—two individuals whose paths converged in a shared vision.
Their passion for East African warmth and German hospitality laid the foundation for Heart and Soul Lodge—a place where guests, travelers, and nature harmoniously coexist. With a deep commitment to community and sustainability, this lodge is more than a destination; it’s a home filled with history, connection, and the promise of a meaningful stay.
