Accommodation
A good one night City Hotel before or after a Safari.
In a great position overlooking Manyara Lake (10-15 mins drive away). Accommodation excellent, food superb, staff very friendly - loved to chat. Each lodge very private but does involve some steps and a bit of walking. Cheap laundry. Highly recommended.
Safari Lodge tents very comfortable in a lovely position overlooking the valley with a wonderful view. Food good,staff friendly and helpful, deserves 2 or 3 nights stay,also has swimming pool which looked great for relaxation time. Would definitely stay here again.
Everything about the lodge ticked all the boxes. Superb rooms, excellent staff, too much lovely food on a wonderful beach setting. Safaris available and worth doing. Excellent end to a Safari for relaxation. This lodge may not suit everybody as very remote, 4-5 hour drive from Dar-Es-Salaam
Comfortable Lodge set in nice grounds with swimming pool. Good food, friendly staff. A nice Lodge to stay at before or after a Safari.
Our Memories
"Tanzania Safari was an experience we will never forget from the friendly people, laying in your tent listening to wild animals, watching a Cheetah
in full flight for a kill, losing count of the amount and variety of all the animals we saw and of course the beautiful birds."
"Sadaani Tent with a View was a Robinson Crusoe experience for us, miles of remote beach - we felt we were the only ones there."
