"This hotel was such a welcome respite after my travels. The grounds are expansive, lush, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful. The pool is gorgeous, and one of the highlights of my stay was seeing Mount Kilimanjaro from the porch of my room in the afternoon. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the people. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and eager to help. Their hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel has a large restaurant...

"This is an amazing property built in the late 60's. Very rustic and built into a rock mountain with fantastic views over the Northern Serengeti. You must appreciate rustic and that not always will you have power and hot water, it is very very remote and difficult to get to. I'm an adventurer and this was my favorite of all the places we stayed, but not for everyone. It could use some maintenance, but overall the food was great and is a one of a kind accommodation. We booked and paid for...

Serengeti

"Amazing don't actually capture how wonderfully this place is. My room was very spacious and clean. It had all the amenities you will find on a luxurious hotel in a big city. The lodge is perched on a hillside overlooking a huge and gorgeous valley. I can lounge on my patio seats all day looking at the valley. Breakfast needs a bit of improvement, but lunch and dinner offerings were quite delicious. Those guys will feed you to death if you let them. I definitely recommends this wonderfully...

Top Tanzania Hotel Reviews

The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The Mora is a beautiful property. It’s very peaceful and aesthetically pleasing!! The rooms are extremely clean and large. The staff is very welcoming and engaging. Welcome snacks and a drink were provided on arrival. A bit of honesty for other readers considering staying here: I wasn’t a fan of the buffet food, mostly Indian. The other restaurants are by reservation only and the steak house was fully booked my entire stay. So I would advise to book ahead. And the resort is over an hour from Stonetown however, I still thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would return!"

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."

Tembo Kiwengwa Resort

8/10 Good

"I don't really stay in resorts so I don't have much to compare. The grounds, facilities and rooms were immaculate and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from my room was stunning and the beach was also immaculate. Some things did come up that made my stay a little less enjoyable. This is an alcohol free resort, this was my fault for not realizing but there were restaurants nearby that served alcohol We left our previous hotel to catch a flight to Zanzibar at 4am. We arrived at the hotel starving. Unfortunately it was in between breakfast and lunch so no food options. We were advised that there were restaurants that serve all day which was not the case for us. We went door to door and were told 12:30. We finally found one and it took 1 hr and 15 minutes for our food which was past 12:30! We would have been fine with a premade sandwich Other minor things, we could not have 2 keys for our room so my friend and I couldn't really do our own thing without one of us being locked out. It also would have been helpful to have an ATM nearby. We wanted to leave tips but ran of of cash"

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The food was decent. The quality itself didn’t feel amazing. I think they missed chances for excellent dining such as carving tables or omelet station. They could’ve had more selection and it was difficult to get into the restaurants. The hotel itself is newer very clean and well-maintained especially coming from Stonetown. It’s perfectly nice for a Westerner. I wish there was more entertainment. There was some nights that there was basically no entertainment and there’s not a lot of amenities for entertainment such as multiple pool tables or club, etc. The overall vibe was laid back. The beach itself was nice with plenty of options for guests and multiple pools. There were a few kids and mainly travelers from Europe and South Africa. I thought security would stop local vendors from hounding you but they didn’t. Overall I didn’t regret my stay but I might look elsewhere next time."
