Swahili Villa is like paradise on earth. A few kms from the main road with villas set a short walk back from the city . Photos on the website don't do this place justice it is even better than expected. Food was healthy and delicious plus there is a good selection of wines. Every staff member goes above and beyond to make your stay special. Hawa and Farida you really made our stay memorable and we thank you again.

We loved our stay in Serengeti villa, Frank was really nice and assisted us with everything we needed. We wanted to extend another day here but it was fully booked, so Frank helped us with another booking in a sister hotel and even arranged for our bags to be delivered there fuss free. He also arranged for our transport back to Nairobi at no extra cost. The rooms were clean and comfy too :)

We liked Everything! From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with the amazing tanzanian hospitality. The staff are all excellent. They make you feel at home. I credit that to the owner who has an amazing heart to his guests. The rooms were very clean and the food was great.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
