We spent three nighzts at Under the Shade as we began our 2026 12-day safari in Tanzania and this is our fourth or fifth time at this lodge. I have lost track.

The gardens and the forestry experience was amazing. The team is fantastic and very highly hospitable. Beautiful in every respect! The rooms are lovely; spacious, beautifully appointed and clean.

We have stayed for only 1 night and although there was a powercut during the day, the expirience was good.
Room — The room was nice a clean.

I can’t sing the praises enough. Amazing experience. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, fabulous room and amenities, delicious food. Ameth was so sweet and helpful, as was the whole staff.

The staff try hard to please, but they try too hard.

During my time in Tanzania, I always looked forward to returning to my “home away from home” — Kutoka Lodge.

Room we had was clean and had air conditioning. Comfortable bed, only downside was the bed was against the wall, not great for a double.
Staff were lovely and very helpful.

My experience was very pleasant, tasty breakfast and friendly staff.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. Fred, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming. He arranged our airport pickup and drop-off and was always happy to help with any questions we had.

I stayed at Didas Villa for around 2 weeks. Fred the owner is super reliable, kind, helpful, and trustworthy. He will help you with anything you need.

We stayed at Malkia Trees Lodge with my wife and the Lodge was fantastic. The Staff were very attentive and friendly. The rooms were very clean and welcoming.

We came for Easter holidays and the place is so beautiful. Nice environment and the people were very friendly. The rooms are clean. The breakfast was delicious.

The hotel is in a good location, very safe, with convenient transportation, and a quiet environment. The room is large and clean. It also has a kitchen, living room, and balcony.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable.

My family stayed here the night before we started our safari in Serengeti and it was a perfect place to get some rest after a very long day of travel.

Had a great stay at Milimani Hotel in Arusha it was super clean, comfortable, and really welcoming. Big thanks to Brenda for her amazing customer service!

The hotel and staff is wonderful. We stayed there when we arrived in Arusha. The meals were prepared with love.
The staff ensured that everything met our expectations.

Great lodge to rest after a long flight. Very friendly staff, good food and nice swimming pool. Room is basic, but clean. It could use an update.

Great hotel and larger than the other Serena hotel lodges. It is located on the rim of this enormous volcanic eruption that occurred over two million years ago.

Our stay was nothing short of spectacular. The lodge is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking panoramic views of the Ngorongoro Crater that leave you in awe from the moment you arrive.

The location is close to the city center and is quiet through the day, however, at night there was a lot of noise mainly from barking dogs.

We stayed in mid January and this place was really beautiful with all of the plants and decorations! The hamburger I had for dinner and then breakfast the next morning was really good!

Had the trip of a lifetime through Greg adventures! The villa poa staff were very accommodating too!

Greg and the Villa Poa crew are amazing for both a stay in Arusha as well as safari! Thank you so much! 10/10 recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Sanna Eco Lodge. The staff was fantastic! Always very welcoming and great service. Food also was a blessing, the chef cooks fresh products each day.

Our first night in Tanzania was at Sanna Lodge. It's a beautifully landscaped property with clean rooms and very helpful staff. They helped us rent tuk-tuks to get to town.

Nice main area with pool and a view area over parts of Ngorongoro forest. Room is half tent/stone bungalow with out door shower. Nice interior at the room, good bed.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights in July.

This is a fantastic place to stay, especially the first day or two in Arusha.

As we drove through the gates, we were welcomed by giraffes, elands, zebras, and the antelope family—what a spectacular sight!

We stayed for three nights and the staff was very helpful with a lot of things we had to organise.

The place is clean, great food and good service very welcoming, view from the restaurant.

The new pamoja resort is really an amazing place. It is located in a cool place and they offer amazing service.

This place is owned by a Tanzanian, not an Indian, not a foreigner, not a franchise.

I had a very good experience at Tellamande Lodge. The staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment I arrived.

A beautiful discovery, a spacious and really cool setting. I recommend with your eyes closed.
