Stayed here with an overland tour group in June 2012. This was a great little surprise for our group and more than expected from previous campgrounds, amenities clean and a great hot shower which was needed, camp grounds clean and comfortable for our group. Bar area very welcoming and staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

This is a wonderfully quaint campsite with clean and fresh smelling facilities that were a treat to an otherwise tortured nasal passage :) The beds were comfortable and clean with white quilts and nets. The bar is cozy and friendly. A great place to stay when doing a road trip through Tanzania.

Kisolanza Farm is the best place to stay around Iringa. Situated about 50 km south of town on the main road to Mbeya, the farm is a little piece of heaven. The food is amazing (particularly the pumpkin soup), the use of local materials and style with a bit of a twist makes for a lovely setting, and the hostess... More

Stayed here for two nights and loved it! The accomodations were clean and comfortable and the dinners were absolutely the best I have had in Tanzania. It starts with a nice cream soup, a wonderful entree (one night was chicken and another T-Bone steak) with fresh grown vegetables and it ends with a delicious dessert. I stil cannot get the... More

Amazing what gems are hidden in the back country of Tanzania. The southern highlands are a little less traveled - at least by the Serengeti crowd. Overlanders and Expats come here and are rewarded with marvelous cool climate, cosy accommodation with open fires and the best food we had eaten in Tanzania so far. Two of us were vegetarian and...

My favorite stopover from Dar to Chunya is the Old Farm House. Just off the A 104 is this most amazing highland setting. As a business visitor I rate the location as excellent as my midway stop. Travelers not on the western route might not agree, but it is on the way to Ruaha National Park. I stay in the... More

A piece of England countryside in the heart of TANZANIA. a pleasant stay with a delicious dinner with candle light. You could not wish more. A nice stroll can be made along the shore of the lake. Spotless rooms.

We arrived at sunset and left at 4am the next morning so we couldnt enjoy everything fully. We were welcomed at the office with the warmest of smiles and the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. Normally they do not have room service and guests are advised to have dinner in the Restaurant but... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night on our trip to Ruaha National Park. It was absolutely wonderful. Our cottage was beautifully built from local materials and had a thatched roof. The smell of the dry grass thatch was wonderful. The cottage was very clean and the vases were even filled with fresh flowers. Nice touch! We really... More
