Charming rural retreat and experience!

10.0

The staff were amazing! The property is rural and charming. .everything we wanted as we started our adventure in tanzania. Also the food was incredible as was the service! Also they took us on a walking safari which was cool!

It was a tad further away from Kilimanjaro Airport and the roads during rainy season and just following that time frame make it a big more time intensive. Just to note ahead of time id you are planning to go out there as you def need a big vehicle!

Ein wunderschönes Retreat , das man nur empfehlen kann!

8.0

Ein wunderschönes Haus mit Terrasse und Garten, ruhig gelegen. Alle Mitarbeiter sind am Wohl der Gäste interessiert und unglaublich aufmerksam. Es werden interessante Aktivitäten, zb Wanderung auf nahegelegenen Berg Mukuru, angeboten.

Alle Mahlzeiten werden auf der Terrasse des jeweiligen Hauses serviert, ein Restaurant gibt es nicht. Das ist für Ruhe liebende schön, aber ein wenig ungewöhnlich.
