George and his staff are so helpful. He would ensure that our stay were good. The food served were also tasty and in a very large portion, so if you are not a big eater, kindly inform him in advanced to avoid wasting of food. Love having dinner there, chit chatting with George and other travellers (Matthew and Eric). George helped to arrange few trips as well; Lake Duluti ($30/pax), Ngorongoro Day Trip ($220/pax - shared) and Napuru Waterfall ($60 + $10 entrance + $10 guide - I'm going alone with Bryan). Everything was so good and lovely. Owh ya, and they have cute cat as well. Thanks guys.

I didn’t expect such high standard in Tanzania. Starting from the quality of service, staff, food ending with the tents itself. There was everything we needed, tea/coffee set, delicious dinner a d breakfast, nice pool and wonderful staff. They have free transfer to the airport, it is around 7 mins by car

This place is yet to be discovered and get the recognition it deserves. The location is not very great, but you forget that fact soon as you enter the compound because it is quite beautiful, with amazing customer service. The design of the property is simple, modern and elegant with a mini-pool to boot. I loved the mezzanine design (which reminds me of Heritage Collection Skylight in Singapore :) and the well thought out interior, including a mini-bar fashioned dining area, well furnished kitchen, a huge smart tv infront of a comfortable couch. The staff were also super helpful and went out of their way to make you comfortable.

We spent only one day at nomads nest, our first day in Tanzania and the next morning we went on safari. But it was enough to understand how welcoming, caring and sincere Martin and his mother Veronica were. After 2 weeks, we returned for our things as if to old friends. The accommodation itself is comfortable, clean and quiet. The location is convenient – between the city center and the local airport. For us – a family of 4, it was very convenient to have the entire premises at our disposal – 2 bedrooms and a dining room. In addition to an excellent breakfast, we also ordered dinner from Veronica, our first acquaintance with the local cuisine turned out to be very successful – the food was very tasty. Martin took care of all the transfers, and this was not an easy task, since we had a lot of luggage. He also called a taxi and explained to the driver what we were interested in in the city. This was important, since the driver did not speak English. The price for everything was more than reasonable.

Emma is a lovely host, who does everything for you. Warm lunch, dinner if you want, she drove me in the city to buy a lot of stuff for the Kilimanjaro-Trek since my backpack was lost, so that I could still do it. The house is very clean, good shower with warm water, and it has a nice living room too if you want to relax a little bit. Really good beds, quiet area so you can sleep very good at night. Just a little bit outside for walking by foot in the town, but that is no problem since Emma is so friendly and will for sure arrange everything that you could go and come back there.

Hope was an amazing host for our homestay! He even organised that his friend Yaya showed us around and explained us the culture of the local community. He provided all inclusive food and beverage. We taught each other food recipes and language skills - like friends!
