"The overall experience was great. The staff is friendly and responsive. I particularly liked the food served at Aqua, which is why I was disappointed at the food quality from Carnivorous. The food was served luke warm at best and the meats did not meet the standards one would expect from a reservations only establishment. Maybe you should take a cue from the food consumption and wastage on a night by night basis at Carnivorous."

"Excellent stay even though it rained 2 full days while I was there. The room and grounds are gorgeous. The bathtub and outside shower are amazing. Note there’s no wifi in the villas but you can download in the main dining area. The meals were scrumptious. You will not leave hungry. The fresh juices were delicious and the tuna poke bowl was a favorite. The dining staff is very attentive and would bring me seconds of what I liked before even thinking to ask. They even packed me a breakfast as I...

"Top quality result with understated but top quality accommodation, excellent food and outstanding customer service from all members of the team. I could not rate it overall a top score because one element spoilt the total experience for us. The beach is white sand, with clear waters, but certainly not relaxing much of the time. With good reason the beach is not private. Given that it is one of the best on the island, therefore there are a lot of passing visitors. The hotel does restrict them...

"The grounds are well kept and beautiful. We had a suite beach view with pavillon, which is a bit of a mis-conception because in front of your pavillon is an area of sand then the large swimming pool and then the beach and sea which you cannot actually see! The suite itself was lovely. All the staff were friendly and helpful. It was our 29th wedding celebration and unfortunately on the night my husband was ill and I had to go to dinner on my own. They had decorated the table and had a cake...

Tanzania Hotel Guide

Tanzania is a country that was formed from the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Mount Kilimanjaro presides over this eastern-African nation, and climbers of all skill levels can trek to the summit because there are no fewer than six routes to the top. Wildlife enthusiasts will find a bounty of opportunities in Tanzania because 44 percent of the country is covered with game preserves and national parks. The largest of these is the Serengeti National Park. Gaze upon wildebeests, antelopes, hyenas, and lions as you travel on a safari through this world-famous enclave. If you are lucky and privileged enough, you might even catch sight of the extremely rare and endangered black rhinoceros. Book your reservations for a safari early because there are many who can’t wait to visit.

If water intrigues you more than the bush, simply visit eastern Tanzania. Zanzibar offers a large collection of water-based activities. Charter a boat, and enjoy game fishing. Strap on scuba gear, and explore underwater mysteries as awe-inspiring as the game in the Serengeti. You can also water ski and swim at the breathtakingly gorgeous beaches. Seek out the best Tanzania hotel deals. Wherever you plan to visit, you can find cheap hotel deals in Tanzania. Properties near Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar both offer fantastic prices. Tanzania hotels vary greatly in amenities; therefore, be sure to do your research before embarking.

Hotels in Tanzania also offer special rates over and above the standard discount for rooms periodically. Such offerings are usually time sensitive and require diligent searching to discover. Tanzania hotel packages might also include a safari or other expedition. These kinds of deals are among the best available, but they are few and far between.

If you are a musician, Tanzania offers you a chance to experience collecting the nearly indestructible wood of the Mpingo tree. The wood is so hard it cannot be cut by a saw of any type. Clarinetists, guitarists, oboists and even bagpipers owe their musical lives to this humble tree. Such instrumentalists should really take advantage of a cheap Tanzania hotel deal at least once in their lifetimes.
