"Good facilities but poor staff attitude"
In the morning I got up half an hour before breakfast started, to speak with the kitchen to ensure that a suitable breakfast would be provided, reminding them of what had happened the previous evening. The response was very offhand. When we arrived for breakfast we were told that it was a buffet, and gluten free items were available, but these were not pointed out or explained. I had hoped that after the previous evening an attempt would have been made to rectify the situation, but sadly not." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

"Great intro to Tanzania"
"comfortable "
We were entertained by the monkeys trying to get into the lodges!" See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania
"Excellent accommodation"
The serene setting beside a river, the well-tended gardens, the attentive staff and the beautifully appointed rooms were a treat. While not actually close to any particular points of interest. for travellers arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport en route to the national parks, it is as good a place as any from which to launch your expeditions.
Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar
