Nice location, close to safari destinations

Highview hotel is located on the hillside in Karatu, really nice view and garden. Staff is kind and professional. The hotel overall looks good but the bathrooms would need serious renovation! Food at the restaurant is average quality (maybe below average if we compare to Europe)

Does the job

We stayed in ground floor rooms and the coffee lodge. By far coffee lodge is better, it’s fresher and clean. Ground floor rooms are old and are in need of a renovation, it’s all fine and we slept all fine. Breakfast is standard but ok and fresh prepared eggs are a plus Dinner is…

Decent hotel, great view

This was our base for a couple of nights. Staff very good and the entertainment was awesome (local acrobatic act). Room was small enough but the views were stunning. Served its purpose, did not have time to use the pool.

What type of plugs do we need we are travelling from the UK

For Tanzania, there are two associated plug types, types D and G. Plug type D is the plug which has three round pins in a triangular pattern and plug type G is the plug which has two flat parallel pins and a grounding pin. Tanzania operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.

Hi we are coming on safari at the end of July and staying a few nights at the highview hotel. What do people wear for dinner is it safari wear in the evening too or just normal clothes ?

Hi We took a shower and put on some leisure clothes. Shorts and a short sleeved shirt. No fancy at all.

Are hairdriers in the rooms.? And wifi?

There was a hairdryer in the room. Wi-Fi is only in the lobby area which is a separate building from the one with the rooms. The bandwidth is only really good enough for doing emails

Random question. I stayed here recently and really liked the animal print table covers in the bar and reception. I couldn't find any for sale while in Tanzania and have searched the internet here many times with no success either. I emailed the hotel as well, but they didn't reply. Does anyone know if I can buy these table covers and where from?

Sorry, I do not know! Torger

Hi, we are coming on safari in a couple of weeks and just thinking about packing! What sort of clothing do you recommend in the hotel, do you need to be covered up all the time to stop getting bitten or is it only at certain times you need long trousers and tops? It is our first safari so not sure what to expect. Thank you.

it was quite cold in some evenings, so bear than in mind. tropical strength jungle formula is highly recommended. on safari, black clothing/blue is not recommended. some insects can bite through cloth, so a close texture cloth (safari style) is good.
