Hotels in Tanzania

Breakfast every morning is wonderful! Fresh juice and coffee/tea, fresh fruit plate, chapati and other breads, eggs any way you like... it's all wonderful. Breakfast is slightly different every morning and it's delicious. Pia and Hashem are extraordinary hosts. They are so warm and welcoming, and they go out of their way to make your stay amazing. They booked excursions for us, and even arranged a free boat outing and live music night for guests during our stay. They helped us book drivers, and were always there to have a nice conversation and connect. We have travelled a lot over the last 20 years and we have stayed at a lot of places. Pia and Hashem are the top hosts we've encountered. They are wonderful and they make your stay at the African Paradise Hotel memorable and fabulous.

This place is a hidden gem in Dodoma. When I first booked it, I didn't expect the place to be this beautiful. Upon my check-in, all the staff and the manager, Mr Audax, were all so welcoming, and the hospitality was another level. Honestly, the calmness I felt here, I wanted to extend my stay. I will definitely book again. Thank you, Teranga team, you gave me a relaxing stay in my hectic life.

absolutely fantastic good atmosphere, very clean, attentive staff and fabulous decoration of the hotel grounds

Perfect, stylish boutique hotel with artistic touches close to the beach in a modern, yet local, architectural idiom, with excellent staff, delicious breakfasts, amazing monthly African dinner/show, and warm, lovely hosts.

There is absolutely nothing to fault with Lemara from the moment Leepa collected us from Kisaki train station till moment we left everything was perfect. The staff are all truly wonderful and we now consider as friends, the game drive, walking safari and visit to the local farmers market with traditional farmers bbq were some of the highlights of what was a fantastic 4 days. The accommodation is extremely clean, comfortable along with the food cooked and served by chef is amazing. Will definitely go back for a longer stay next time.

Infinity is a wonderful place - everything from the location, food and accommodation to owners and staff make the stay unforgettable. We had a VERY early arrival on Christmas day and we were picked up from the airport at 5am and were greeted by Tomek at 6.30am, check-in wasn't until 2pm but Tomek juggled things around and we were in our room by 7.30am! Nothing is too much trouble and the communication and help was 1st Class - everyone at Infinity are so friendly and helpful. The location and views are superb, the sea is amazing and the rooms were perfect! Thank you so much Tomek and Malgo for making our Christmas so special. I couldn't fault Infinity at all and would recommend anyone wanting a truly memorable experience to pay Tomek a visit. Asante!

Wonderful location, sea-view, outstanding African facilities, just 5 minutes away from the Rock restaurant but also with very good own kitchen. A lot of nice and comfy corners to just rest and do nothing. Great for a three to five days stay with or without family.

I have been living in Tanzania for a year, and I have never received such a warm and genuine welcome. The staff at Pangani Cliffs Lodge make you feel at home in the smallest details: your name beautifully written on the welcome board at reception, their readiness to meet any need, their kindness, and the care they put into every little thing. Everything was simply outstanding. The lodge is set in the heart of nature, with direct access to both a beautiful pool and an unspoiled beach. The food is delicious, the cleanliness is impeccable, and every corner of the property feels thoughtfully designed. I had mentioned to the staff that it would be my husband’s birthday and simply asked for a small candle. Instead, they surprised us with heartfelt birthday songs from the entire team and a personalized cake—such a touching and unforgettable gesture. From the breathtaking views to the warm smiles that greet you every day, Pangani Cliffs Lodge is truly a piece of paradise. We left with our hearts full, and I sincerely hope to return soon.

This is a beautiful, quiet place to stay. So close to a delightful beach and Aliya was very kind to allow a late checkout. The villa and the pool are perfect.

What makes Palmera so special is its inspiring mission. The hotel and restaurant operate as a hospitality school for local young women, and the exceptional service they provide is a direct reflection of their training. From their warm smiles to their impeccable attention to detail, you can feel the genuine pride they take in their work. The hotel's setting is pure paradise. The infinity pool overlooking the turquoise sea is mesmerizing, and the lush, immaculately kept gardens create a perfect oasis for relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk barefoot through the fine sand and simply enjoy the tranquility. For anyone, but especially for vegans, the restaurant is a must-visit. The creative and delicious vegan dishes, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented students, were a true highlight. It's a testament to the high-quality training they are receiving. The breakfast, in particular, was the best I had during my three-week stay in Tanzania, the homemade warm bread and homemade chocolate spread were unforgettable. For lunch and dinner, with main courses priced between $11 and $13, it offers exceptional value. This 15-room hotel is a quiet retreat. I stayed when it was almost empty and had no issues with noise, but even when full, the large garden and pool area should provide plenty of space for guests. The price range for double rooms in the 2025 high season was 70-100 USD. All rooms face the sea, though the view can be a bit limited from some of the downstairs rooms. While the large windows are beautiful, the curtains don’t fully cover them, which could be a privacy concern for some. I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed was perfect for me, but it might be a bit too hard for others. The solar-powered hot water worked flawlessly. The road to the hotel is a little bumpy on the last kilometer, but there are plans to improve it. In the bathrooms, I would have appreciated a bit more space to dry towels, or a drying rack on the terrace.
