Marina Standard Apartment Opp Slipway

PatriciaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Nice apartment set back from the road in a lovely green tree-shaded compound. The accommodation was very clean and well-supplied, with daily maid service. The compound is secure, with 24-hour guard. Housekeeping staff are always available. The location on the peninsula is very convenient, just across from Slipway and only about ten minutes walk to Village supermarket and other amenities. Highly recommended.
A spacious sleeping area features a large bed adorned with a colorful patterned duvet. Cushion-covered seating is arranged nearby, complemented by decorative pillows. Two vibrant wall art pieces contribute to the room's character, while natural light brightens the neutral walls.

Curious on Tanzania: Sinza Residence 🌟🌟🌟🌟

LisaRating, 5 stars95 months ago
I highly recommend staying at Justa's place! Sinza is a very lively, authentic neighborhood with lots of fruit and vegetable stalls, small restaurants and very friendly people. Location is great and close to the university but a little bit further from the city centre. We felt welcome from the very first second. Thanks again, also especially to John, Helen, Maviki ad of course Justa!

Elegant Living - Bunju Area near Bahari Beach

AmyRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We brought a large group to stay at Prisca's place for two weeks. Prisca was very communicative and extremely accommodating. She purchased additional mattresses, sheets, and towels for our group. She purchased a water dispenser for us when we requested one. There were some problems in the house during our stay (which is common in Tanzania), but her local staff were quick to help us. The house is massive and can accommodate a lot of people and has A/Cs and water heaters throughout. The kitchen is big but not particularly well stocked; we needed to buy a bunch of our own utensils in order to properly cook for so many people. The location is pretty far north of Dar, but it was worth it for the great price and Prisca's great service.

Windsor House: Serviced & 2 acre enchanted garden

IffatRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Windsor House, and it was an incredible experience. One of the standout features is the expansive greenery surrounding the property; it's truly a picturesque setting that feels like a private oasis. The vast lawn is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying a relaxing day outdoors. The pool area was fantastic as well, providing a great spot for a refreshing swim and sunbathing. It added a delightful touch to our stay, making it easy to unwind and have fun. Our host was exceptionally kind and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I also want to give a special shoutout to Venus, the care taker who was an amazing help throughout our time there. His assistance made our experience even more convenient.He’s truly one of a kind . Overall, I highly recommend Windsor House to anyone looking for a beautiful place to relax and create lasting memories.

Milemeleni Lodge Lushoto, Tanzania

IngridRating, 5 stars12 months ago
Great place to connect with nature and local community. We met three chameleons at the property, about five on the adjacent road, as well as plenty of local children fascinated and scared at the same time of our dog :) Pizzeria Mama Mia is about 45 min walk and is quite outstanding.

Karabai Villa, Matemwe Zanzibar.

ErynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Matamwe and the villa were the highlight of our Zanzibar stay! For some, the remoteness may be a bit startling at the beginning, but this oasis was just what we were looking for with two families coming together for 5 days. The house is impeccable: rooms and beds clean and comfortable; living room large enough for everyone to escape the heat and relax/play games, and the very best part - direct access to the sea from the property (and serving only 4 houses which means you’re likely the only one there). Ali and the staff were helpful in organizing a moto taxi for us to do some food shopping, as well as snorkeling nearby. Being in a small village means not much to do, but we were able to go for some short runs and visit a couple hotels (in walking distance) for an afternoon ice cream/drink This is not the same ambiance that you’ll have in Jambiani, but beautiful even so! We would highly recommend Susan’s home for some rest and relaxation; thank you!

Kichijo House

JayRating, 5 stars37 months ago
What an incredible experience. I absolutely loved my time here, and it was way too short. Mama Lema met me at the house and I was running a bit late, but she offered to make me food even though the power had been out and the water wasn't working. I didn't mind as I was looking for an authentic experience and I received it. Dee was out of town but Mama Lema and Dee's daughters were an absolute delight. They made me feel right at home, and offered the bonus of taking me up to the Chemka Hot Springs for some swimming and rope swings, we had breakfast together before the daughters went to school, and I was served lunch of fish, veggies, and rice, and fresh watermelon and bananas. I absolutely loved the authentic stay and discussions. Do be aware that during that time we didn't have running water and the electricity went out for a bit, but that made it more fun. We caught water from the rain and used headlamps to see. The bunk room was very comfortable and the nets were a nice added bonus. And the new kittens (2 weeks old) were adorable. At the end, Mama Lema arranged transport to the airport with Benjamin, our tuk tuk driver, and that was extra fun (until we found out that Tuk Tuk's aren't allowed through the gate at the airport so we walked an extra few meters from the gate to the airport, and then back to the gate for Covid testing, then back to the airport. If you are looking for a fun and affordable stay, and to be well taken care of and a feeling of love, and not worry about all the modern-day amenities, this is the place for you!
An outdoor seating area features a comfortable sofa and chairs, complemented by a coffee table. A dining table sits nearby, with tropical plants adding a touch of greenery. Light streams in through spacious windows, and the background showcases palm trees, enhancing the relaxed atmosphere.

Private pool villa near Paje beach

TimRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We stayed for almost two weeks in Karin’s villa and extended our stay twice on short notice—both times without any issues. Karin was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is spacious and well-protected by Masai guards day and night. We found the location to be perfect for Paje—close enough to explore the area on foot during the day, yet far enough from the nightlife to enjoy a peaceful rest at night. The villa is truly unforgettable. The open design of the living and kitchen area creates a stunning atmosphere, especially when all the doors and windows are open. The kitchen is well-equipped and perfect for preparing delicious meals with the amazing local ingredients and spices. The lush garden, filled with beautiful plants and trees, makes the outdoor space incredibly inviting. We loved spending entire days by the pool, just relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of this wonderful place. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return!

Tamani Villas (5-bedroom villa)

MeredithRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Overall, this place was fantastic. It’s a traditional Zanzibar design so it’s not a modern place, but exactly what we wanted. We were thrilled to be there with our large group of two families, including 5 children. Rasheed was excellent and accommodated all of our requests. Food, especially breakfast, was delicious. The beach outside the villa is pristine, with white sand beaches and a beautiful Indian Ocean right outside the doorstep. The private pool was incredible. The villa rental subsidizes the Tamani Foundation and its students, so staying here contributes to the education of local kids. Win win.

Stunning Serviced Single Bedroom Suite

LukasRating, 5 stars18 months ago
Very nice and calm place in Oyster Bay. Online Maps seem to have the road name wrong (Yasser Arafat Road instead of Mkwawa Road). Maybe it was recently changed. The apartment is in the same building complex as the Amigos Restaurant (behind it), where you can also have lunch, dinner or a drink in the evening. The apartment at ground level is very well equipped with the kitchen, TV and office desk. It is very spacious and I felt right at home. There is a 24/7 security and electric fence, so no reason to feel uncomfortable. The receptionist and cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. You can reach your private balcony with pool view through the bedroom and living room. In front of the entrance, there are often motorcycles or bajajis waiting, or you can take a bolt or uber. To coco beach, you can even walk. I would definitely come back here!

Kena Beach Villas

AnneRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning property! The location is absolutely perfect—secluded and tranquil, making it an ideal retreat for our group of 8. The surroundings offered peace and serenity, far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The accommodation was outstanding—spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable. Every corner of the property was thoughtfully curated making it feel like a true home away from home. What truly made our experience unforgettable, however, was the wonderful staff. Led by Yusuf, they went above and beyond to accommodate every request. We hired the private chef, Suleiman, and he delivered the most outstanding meals we could ask for. The staff even arranged kayaking experiences for us which was an absolute highlight. We couldn't have asked for a better team, who were so accommodating, friendly and professional throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful, serene escape. You won’t regret it!
