₹ Camp
Peaceful, soothing, and surprising place. Warm welcome. Thanks to Brian for his delicious food. Thanks to Kwenia for her bush walk and the very moving village visit. Thanks to the team for the beauty of the site. And above all thank you to Tom (and his expert eye) who made us live a simply perfect safari in Amboseli: he worked hard to make us the most often alone with animals, positioning ourselves for the best photos, giving us explanations and always with a smile and kindness, for one of the best days of our lives! Bravo to you and THANK YOU

Babogaya Lake Viewpoint Bed and Breakfast
The lodge is right on the lake with greenery surrounding and some tortoises and rabbits running around. The pictures don’t do this place justice. You just have to be there. The place has an antique vibe. You wake up to the beautiful view of the lake and sounds of the birds. You can kayak, swim, feed fish or rent out a boat out into the lake either sundowner or during the day or they organise for you to see other lakes (Green crater lake). The staff are extremely helpful and polite. They give local recommendations, especially as I was travelling alone they made sure I was safe especially in moving around. I want to extend my utmost gratitude to the team. I felt right at home. Thank you so much!! Highly highly recommend. Book it don’t even think about it, it’s one of the best spots on the lake.

Hilltop Boutique Hotel-Studio rooms
Hilltop Boutique Hotel is a perfect station on Mahe in every way and great starting point for things to do on the island as well as island hopping. Above all, the person room boasts special kindness! I'm sure we'll be back!

Sunny double room with shared kitchen & bathroom
Our stay went perfectly well! Anouck gave us plenty of good advice and was always available. Clean apartment with all the essentials (ceiling fan in all rooms). Special mention for Anouck's restaurant and her partner just below the apartment: Homemade metropolitan cuisine, it was delicious! Accommodation close to several places to visit (Cilaos, Saint-Pierre, Les Makes...) I highly recommend it!!

Waterfall side home stay UN Runda (Nairobi)
Amazing stay! Super safe neighborhood, great food, attentive and kind staff ready to help. More of a hotel than an airbnb, and 100% worth every penny!! Norman was always ready to help us and even drive us! Amazing stay!

Swara Acacia Lodge
Very nice and relaxed place. Great fir families and retreat. Staff very nice and option to ride a bicycle through savannah is once in a life time. All recommendation!

Budget room - 3 beds @ Baobibo - Casa de Hospedes
This is a great place to stay for a visit to Ibo island. It is also a great option for people on a smaller budget. Rooms are beautiful and stylish. From (Baob)Ibo you can arrange all your trips around the Quirimbas!

Double Room (#1 ~ Johari)
If you choose to stay with the St. Gemma Nuns you will not regret it! I stayed with them for 4 weeks this summer while interning at a research foundation in Dar Es Salaam. As a woman staying in Dar Es Salaam by myself, living with the St. Gemma Nuns was the perfect place. It is simple and peaceful, but everything one would need. The nuns are kind and welcoming. They instantly make you feel at home and looked after. Location-wise it is also very nice, within walking distance of a large supermarket and close to multiple good restaurants and cafes.

Jey's Jiko Kitchen and Resort
An unexpected gem tucked away in Muhoroni. I loved the landscaping. The lush green gardens added to the zen atmosphere. Staff was super welcoming and responsive. Food was good. I especially enjoyed the fruit. The room was clean and comfortable. Certainly found my go to spot when in Muhoroni.

Mount Sheba Rainforest Hotel & Resort - Family
Amazing accommodation. We definitely recommend opting for the breakfast and dinner, food is amazing!! Take a pair of tekkies, they have amazing hiking trails with waterfalls. Definitely recommend. Note: I recommend activating maps long before as there are no signal in the mountains on the way there. Also the pin on airbnb took us to a remote location and was far off. Rather google the lodge and use that location. We will def go again.

Luxurious 7 Bedroom Cottage Located In Diani Kenya
The place was amazing, we got plenty of rest as it was very peaceful. The rooms were beautiful with a lot of space, they were also constantly clean.We were a group of 12 and fit in perfectly. Maurice and the staff were also very friendly.

Outback-Kenya Lodge, 11 Hotel Rooms - King Banda
....aaaah. what a beautiful lodge. amazing ambience and location. it was such a delightful stay ..and the food. goodness. The staff were totally friendly and kind to us. so helpful it was totally worth it. so so amazing

Tonga house@16
Tonga House is a beautiful place to unwind and have relaxing time! All was very clean, comfortable and perfect for our little family. Also Msuna Island is a special and wonderful place to stay! Only a bit sad that the river was almost dry on our side of the island, we are hoping it comes back to its natural state...

Entire Guesthouse with Spa in Kyalami AH
The place smells divine🫶🏾 and squeaky clean👌🏾. The hosts are amazing! Would definitely recommend, it’s worth every penny.

Blue Gum Cottage - Likoma Island - Lake Malawi
This is the best airbnb i've ever stayed in. The cottage is beautiful, plus you get breakfast and a free transfer off the ferry to the hotel. Chef Chima is amazing and cooks whatever you want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the place is well located on a street with markets. There is also always free tea and coffee on demand in the house and drinking water, couldn't fault a think and the service was superb. We booked 3 extra nights because qe loved it so much!

An amazing experience would have love to spend more time there especially over a weekend. Sandy is a really lovely lady and awesome host. If farm stay you like I would definitely recommend this place.

Gateway to the Zambezi Deka Tiger Mile
Beautiful lodge by the Zambezi. Great value for money. Communication with Wayne went very smooth - Wayne is very friendly, responsive and accomodating. We were hosted by Charity and team who were most welcoming. We very much enjoyed the vegetarian meals she prepared for us. A unique place we would definitely recommend!

Vian est un hôte parfaitement attentionné au bien être de ses résidents. Ses conseils et renseignements sont précieux. Le logements ainsi que le cadre est idéal pour le dépaysement.

We had a good stay with a very comfortable bed. Also the nice swimming pool was a welcome sight

Alpha Homes
was a very nice place to unwind after after a hard days work. I totally vouche for Alpha Homes

Serene Safari Lodge | Stunning Views | Manyara
This place has delicious meals and friendly staff to go with it. Irene went above and beyond looking after us, knew when to assist and when to leave us be. Milau the resident Masai took us on a great walking trip, we could walk as long or as short as we wanted. We ended up walking to a village and took a bus ride home, one of our best days of our four month trip. But the 7km dirt road to the place can be a bit difficult to use. Would highly recommend this place. Close enough to Crater and other sites.

Mondi lodge
The place is really nice and has many smart ecologic decoration made with recycled materials and a lot of creativity. For now the place is on renovation but we still managed to sleep in a very comfortable and clean private room. The host is super nice and very open to international community members. We had a very good time!
