This place is magical Cosmas and his family are wonderfully wonderful and kind-hearted people . A beautiful friendship was born that is why I decided to return a second face after the Safari , Cosmas is a Wikipedia know it all , he is from a tribe in that area and it was interesting to be with him around because he showed me so many things . This accommodation is home and family , if you are looking for that I recommend you go to them .

Excellent location for a good price. The room was clean and well-provided. The bed is really comfortable. The staff was very nice. He helped me how to reach the airport by bus rather by taxi.

What an oasis of calm Mgulani Lodge hotel offers. Having never been to Dar, we were so grateful of the The Salvation Army Compound this hostel is linked with, offering a space of tranquility in a city that feels like it never stops. It very quickly felt like a home away from home. And the staff were willing to help with anything you asked. It was a real pleasure meeting the team, and even better knowing any money they make off your room booking goes into helping other programmes that the organisation are running in Tanzania.

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.
