Jambo (Hello) We were Visiting Tanzania from Canada and absolutely loved the place. Definitely worth the 24 hour flight from Toronto. Hotel is rated 4 Star and that’s exactly what you should expect. Rooms were clean and were serviced daily washroom was small though for 3 people. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Special mention for Issa the bellboy who helped us on our arrival and Musa (from Reception) on our time of check out. Assante Sana!! It has been a lovely trip!
