Staff was great. Food was great. Property was great. Natural setting with birds and monkeys was really great. On a clear day you can see the top of Kilimanjaro as you have a gin and tonic on the veranda in the photo. Monkeys would be playing overhead as you were eating on a terrace overlooking a bird paradise. Horseback riding was great through the village and jungly terrain. Gift shop was great compared to others I saw in Tanzania and we spent loads there. Pool was great. Wonderful place to relax before or after the rigors of a safari to the the Serengeti. Also loved Baloo.

Charming buildings, super helpful and friendly staff, wonderful birds and animals. Not fancy, not high tech, but still very comfortable. Gives you a sense of what it must have been like when Tanzania was a British colony. A relaxing and enjoyable place to spend your first days in Tanzania.

Die Unterkunft ist wunderbar gelegen, allein die Anfahrt bereitet etwas Schwierigkeiten (erst mal die Straße zu finden, dann die Straße selbst, und letztlich die Beschilderung ist nachts nicht sonderlich gut zu sehen). Das Anwesen an sich und die Umgebung sind sagenhaft. Das Personal ist sehr gut ausgebildet, sehr zuvorkommend, und immer hilfsbereit. Die Küche ist flexibel - selbst mit den "set menues" kann variiert werden. Und das Essen ist von exzellenter Qualität. Einzig und allein über dne Preis kann man sich streiten - als Toursit sollte man das nicht - dazu ist die Lage viel zu schön; als Geschäftsreisender schon eher.
