Hotels in Tanzania

First and foremost, I love the mission of the Lodge. The fact that they work towards improvement for the Maasai women in the area is amazing. Second, the people working at the Lodge are terrific. Susan, in particular, makes you feel at home with good conversations and nice home-cooked meals. Third, the facilities are perfect. Everything you need is ready at hand and you get the perfect combination of authentic experience and comfort. I stayed in the tents, which are great if you’re travelling on a budget. They are affordable and comfortable with nice mattresses, duvets and mosquito nets. You also have toilet and bathing facilities in connection with the tents. The traditional Maasai huts were unfortunately fully booked but Susan was kind enough to show me one before I left. These look absolutely amazing with cozy beds and private washroom. I’ll definitely have to try them out next time! One of the highlights of the stay was the motorcycle safari. We drove out in the bush in the afternoon and experienced the most amazing sights of giraffes, elephants and zebras. We were even lucky enough to have a giraffe visit us inside the Lodge area!

Great hosts that take care of you during the whole stay. Amazing breakfast and option to eat lunch/dinner in the hotel restaurant as well. It is a small paradise far from the rush of the city. Highly recommended.

There is so much to say about this lovely hotel! The staff members are incredibly kind and always available to assist whenever you need them. They decorated our room for my fiancé’s birthday surprise and even offered us a small bento cake. It was so cute! Regarding the location, the hotel is only about 35 minutes from the airport and close to Paje, but it’s a bit far from the northern part of the island. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and offer a beautiful view of the pool and the beach — especially the Mafia 1 room. The food was delicious, and the scent inside the rooms was simply divine. I was in love with it! Even our clothes came back from the laundry smelling amazing. The spa is cute, and the massage was relaxing — I truly recommend it. The ladies there really know what they’re doing!

Babalao Bungalow is a hidden GEM 💎 in Nungwi!! Location was everything and more! I had a phenomenal experience from start to finish! Max, the host/owner, went above and beyond...sharing details about restaurants in the area and a thorough description of how to navigate around Nungwi! I'm a solo traveler and I was super super comfortable at Babalao Bungalow! Best of all...I extended my stay and Max was super kind to accommodate me! The staff were very friendly and breakfast was exceptional! I got most of my breakfast packed up to go as most of my days was off site for tours and adventures! Thank you Thank you and Thank you Max and Staff for making this solo trip so memorable 💖 Bonus there is a super cute doggie!

Stunning place, 2 steps from the beach, we loved everything! Kimulimuli Ayurveda Spa retreat is not only a place, it’s an experience. Very friendly welcoming staff, big rooms, tastefully decorated, the best breakfast we had in Tanzania, very unique themed restaurant with super delicious food and absolutely amazing ayurveda spa. Definitely recommended us must see place when in Zanzibar snd Tanzania, and surely we will be back here next year.

Upon arrival, we were immediately surprised by the unique location of this lodge, situated on the top of a cliff with a rich history. Amongst it’s endless beach and rich marine life, it also serves as the perfect spot to watch the sunset and find your inner peace. The rooms, restaurant & other facilities, clearly taking into account principles such as ecology and sustainability, contributed to this experience. Most of all, we would like to thank the owners and staff, who all give their best during our stay, a healthy mix between passion and giving chances to the local communities. Thank you again for everything, I would recommend this to anyone who is staying near Tanga or Pangani :) Greetings, Nicolas & Enxhi 🙌🏝️

The food, the staff and owners made it feel like home.

Breakfast was good - good selection of fruit, lovely omelette

The owner is very sweet and welcoming. The whole area of the hotel was carefully looked after therefore super beautiful and had a relaxing atmosphere. The food is also delicious.

I stayed at Blue Moon Villa with my three children. We loved the place and it is very child friendly. The staff is so nice and helpful, the breakfast very nice and the location is just a short walk from the beach. We enjoyed Blue Moon Villa and the nearby beach so much that we changed our travel plans to come back to Blue Moon Villa.

This place is incredible! Perfect for someone who needs to recharge the batteries and unwind the mind. I have to start with staff, Jackie did a great job with keeping our comfort and happiness at highest level. Everyone is smiling, and ready to fulfill all your wishes. The restaurant offers delicious food. Even if we’re not vegetarians, we couldn’t wait to try something new. Room is tidy with beautiful see view. The garden is spacious, with many hidden places to relax. The staff is able to book many activities/taxi for you. On top of everything the hotel accommodates the school for young girls from disadvantaged families and by booking your stay you can support their mission. Thank you Nicola and Gian Luigi for your hospitality. I can definitely recommend the resort!!

The staff are truly outstanding, and the manager is incredibly kind and helpful. Make sure to bring water shoes and enjoy the stunning scenery during low tide. If you have your snorkel gear, try heading a bit further from the shore — you’ll discover lovely small coral formations surrounded by beautiful fish.
