The best accommodations Tanzania

Located near Bwawani, about 50 km from Morogoro, this eco-camp is made up of traditional rustic bungalows. A 100% Tanzanian project, it welcomes volunteers and develops fair tourism initiatives with the village of Lukwambe (education, environment, etc.). In addition to a safari in Mikumi National Park, the camp offers a wide range of activities, including local craft workshops and tours of the Maasai and Iraqi cultures.

This is the latest business address to open in Dar es Salaam, which remains affordable yet offers real comfort and luxurious services. It's located in a large, distinguished grey stone building on the southern edge of the city's CBD, where there are currently no other hotels. So it's close to the hypercentre without being in a chic district. The well-decorated rooms are enhanced by arty paintings, and the pool is just as pretty and pleasant. The style is local, yet elegant. Free parking.

The Best Western hotel chain has opened a new address in Dodoma, suitable for both business and leisure travelers. Rooms feature all the standard amenities of a 4-star hotel, and are spacious and furnished with colorful armchairs. Some suites are equipped with a kitchenette. In addition to the classic services (good restaurant, bar), the must-have of this hotel is a spectacular rooftop pool, quite small but with a view over the city.

Located 4 hours from Dar es Salaam and 20 minutes from Morogoro, Mbuyuni Farm Retreat offers a relaxing country experience. The 3 bungalows (for families of up to 4 people) are set in quiet, peaceful surroundings and surrounded by beautiful gardens. Two bungalows have kitchens. You can walk around the farm, enjoy the surrounding activities and explore the forest, home to many species of birds (three different hiking trails). Ornithologists have identified over 230 species to date!

This recently opened hotel in the heights of Iringa guarantees a comfortable vacation just a stone's throw from Ruaha and Mikumi parks. The spacious, air-conditioned rooms feature king-size beds, intricate lighting and raised ceilings. The service is very professional and the restaurant serves good fusion cuisine. The only regret is that the pool is too close to the rooms overlooking the patio and lacks greenery and deckchairs. But it's worth the effort! Prices remain affordable for Westerners.

It's a must on the main road in the center of Mwanza, just a stone's throw from the port. This hotel is a good reference for Tanzanian businessmen and visitors seeking a minimum of comfort. We appreciate the classic, even Victorian style of the rooms, their facilities (air-conditioning, telephone, kettle, private bathroom, queen or king-size bed with multiple pillows, etc.) and the hotel's very professional service. Excellent restaurant, close to the bustling city center (market...).

This lodge is one of the best budget options in Moshi. Prices remain reasonable and the facilities are of the highest quality. The spacious bungalows are set in green grounds and have their own privacy and private terrace. The beds are comfortable, just lacking curtains for darkness. The swimming pool with water jets is the main attraction. The lounge is beautiful, with its Afro chic decor, but we regret that the restaurant is expensive. The Indian specialties are acceptable, while the other dishes are rather unremarkable.

In the Gangilonga district, this hostel is a friendly, cosmopolitan place to meet people. The hostel, run by the friendly Eric, has three mixed dormitories (6 and 4 beds), two triple family rooms and a shared kitchen. Enjoy the garden with hammocks, the pool table, the bar with live music on the terrace and the bohemian atmosphere of the campfire in the evening. Activities and safaris can be organized. Wifi access.

A charming new address in Dar es Salaam. This boutique hotel is located about 20 minutes from the city center, right on the seafront of the north coast. A location with your feet in the sand, so you can feel like you're on vacation while visiting the big city. Each room has its own outdoor terrace with sofas, and all is simply and tastefully furnished. The pool and waterfront views are sumptuous. A real favorite.

Ava Backpackers is the option for backpackers and solo travelers on a budget at the foot of Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks. A great option for meeting new people, where you'll be warmly welcomed by Datto. A small local structure with a garden, a few huts and a welcoming dormitory, all with fans. Don't look for great comfort, but it's clean and the meals are delicious. They organize low-cost safaris with their 4x4, a good deal for those who can't afford to go with an Arusha agency.

A bright, modern yet simple new address for budget travelers, centrally located on Bwejuu beach, right on the front line. Pia and Amish give guests a warm welcome, and the rooms are charming, with ceiling fans and mosquito netting. Some superior upstairs suites enjoy spectacular views and have a covered terrace with a bed. The food in the restaurant is delicious and fresh, and just as good as the breakfast. Self-service bikes, masks, kayaks and water shoes.

This old Swahili mansion offers mid-priced en-suite rooms. Its strengths: a rooftop terrace overlooking the town with a 360° view, air-conditioned and ventilated rooms with antique Zanzibari beds, impeccably clean. Weak points: groups with their guides constantly climbing up to see the view from the restaurant, making the small plunge pool not at all intimate; the elevator is always busy; the beds are not fitted with mattress protectors; the restaurant is too expensive for the quality of the food.

A very beautiful place that has picked up colors! At the foot of the Uluguru Mountains, 2 km south of the train station, this hotel of 69 rooms with tennis courts next to the 18-hole golf course (but a bit flat) of the Shoe. Design of the 1970 s.

This hotel and restaurant, which has been a family of Indian origin for several years, is a very good address in the heart of Mbeya. The kitchen is varied and refined. Quality service.

Very well situated, because in the middle of the city, this old hotel, built in 1935 and loved by the hunters of yesteryear, has become a beautiful tourist establishment of 46 rooms, which has expanded with a newly completed wing. The whole is large and attractive. The rooms are in tune. The restaurant offers a rich menu to find its happiness at a very reasonable price. Wifi.

The hotel is very close to the bus station. 43 rooms. International restaurant with terrace, 24-hour service. Organize ascents and safaris. An excellent address.

Time runs smoothly at Omar, one of Zanzibar's best chess players. For those who want to take their time, on the water, the place is really good, close to Fuji Beach. Suggested tours: visit of the spices, circuit in the forest of Jozani, and encounter with dolphins. Friendly welcome.
