Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We highly recommend this place. It’s incredibly comfortable, quiet, peaceful, and cozy, with a charming style. The breakfast was excellent, and the host was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to assist us. When our rental car arrived late, we were allowed to stay longer. And when we struggled with the manual transmission, Emanuel even stepped in as our driving instructor. We couldn’t thank him enough.
Negative: None.
Summary: Awesome place, great host

Positive: We returned to this homestay a week later because we enjoyed our first stay so much. Once again, the room was clean, the shower had hot water, the custom-made soap was wonderful, and the breakfast was excellent. This time, our rental car wouldn’t start in the morning, and Emanuel kindly helped us get it going. We’re very grateful - many thanks!
Negative: Nothing.

Positive: Emanuel - he's the son of the late John, the founder of this place - is a cheerful good-hearted person, great guide with many tips and helpful notes, and an excellent host. Don't forget to get him to tell you the history of Emanuel's life and this homestay, it well describes what he's like. Besides, his staff is so nice guys helping him. This place is almost like an oasis, considering the tough surroundings. We enjoyed the stay as we met and talked to many local people in the area on our walks and it was fun. Consider visiting the waterfalls. Emanuel will tell you. Otherwise, safari in Tanzania is especially pricey, you may know that already, but you can be assured that Emanuel knows how to set the best option for you as he knows about these things and the wildlife a ton of information. He used to work as a safari guide too for some long time.
