Accommodation
Compared to all of the other places where the service and friendliness seemed 100% warm and genuine, Tarangire didn't have that same atmosphere. The food was also not quite as good a standard at Tarangire comparitively. However, the location of the Tarangire Lodge is just stunning so we were definitely pleased to stay there.
Matemwe was perfect for us and the staff went beyond the call of duty to help us celebrate a birthday while we were there - baking a cake and a complimentary bottle of fizz!
The welcome and service we received in all of the places we stayed in was excellent. The accommodation definitely exceeded our expectations.
