10/10 Excellent
As we drove down a dirt road to The Pink Flamingo, we wondered what we were getting into. As soon as we walked into the villa, we were smitten! It was gorgeous, beautiful, exquisite! The high ceilings, interesting African artifacts and photographs, stained glass windows, large bedrooms, pools and views were like a dream. The owner, Theresa, and her son, Thomas, catered to our every need and desire. The Italian food cooked by Theresa was delicious. Both dinners we ate were so very good! We...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Exceptional Stay in Tanzania alhamdulillah — Highly Recommended!
Our stay at this hotel in Tanzania was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we received above-and-beyond hospitality. The entire staff was professional, kind, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to our needs as a family. I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received.

We stayed for 2 nights in July. Anantya Serengeti was so well maintained and clean. The hotel was situated in a beautiful location, which encouraged animals to roam the grounds. The first night, we encountered two buffalos. The second night, a family of thirty over elephants walked infront of our room. The bedrooms were spaced out to give privacy.
The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, however the packed lunches were not good.
One incident marred our stay, where the rangers had set...

I celebrated my honeymoon on June 8th at Lux and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. In fact, I plan to return next year at the same time. I hope to see Grace, who works at the reception. She truly deserves to be a manager. Lux, I am coming back and would love to stay in the same room, number 65. Thank you for making my honeymoon a magical experience for my wife and me.

A beautiful white sandy beach and well maintained hotel is the core of this lush resort. Supported by a very friendly staff and competent management guarantees a great experience. The food is excellent and if you have a chance, try the private dinner setting at the beach with your very own server. Finally the Sultan "s bath and couples massage is the ultimate experience . On a lighter note, request a mattress topper at check in, unless you like it firm .
Beds are hard as a rock but otherwise...

Very friendly staff settled in a beautiful surrounding. Great pool, and everything is so clean. We felt really looked after.
How ever, it said in various sites that there is a beach here, it is, maybe 25 sq meter in total, but with no acces to the sea, there is a very large ref.

The Stella Maris staff is the highlight of the facility. They immediately become family and treat you as such. The facility is very clean and very well kept. There are limitations that are to be expected as a part of visiting the country and area such as occasional area power outages (which are only a brief interruption till the generator comes on) and periodic brief Wifi disruption common for the area. The food is excellent. The bed is comfortable with a mosquito net. Pillows are...

What an amazing hotel! Very clean and modern. Our room was spacious. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. There is a wide range of choice for breakfast. For the first time in years I had a swim in a swimming pool and I loved it.
Beautiful lobby and amazing art. Which you should see even if you do not stay in this hotel. Just go there to have a drink/meal and enjoy.

I really like the property and rooms, the pics online dont do it justice. The beds are so firm, next long trip in dar es salaam, I will book for the bed alone.
Pleasant surprise room 410 has a great view of the neighborhood and the sunset is ROMANTIC. I love the spacious bathroom with a window. The balcony is cute as well. Its a small room but if you typically just use the room to wind down and sleep, it works perfect. I wasn't able to try the restaurants and breakfast. The marble floors...

This is a lovely hotel with gorgeous landscaping on Lake Victoria. As an American who has traveled to Mwanza 10 times before, this is the only decent place to stay. It’s just 2 miles from the airport. Quiet, huge rooms, great food and a welcome respite from a day of long travel from the States.
