Kigongoni Gazella exceeded all my expectations. The room was spotless, the staff incredibly warm, and the breakfast was delicious. Perfect location as a base for Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. Will definitely return!

Fantastic value for money! We used this as our Serengeti safari base and it was perfect. Very comfortable beds, hot shower every morning, and the staff went out of their way to help arrange our game drives. Highly recommend.

Tulikaa na familia yetu kwa wiki moja — vyumba vizuri sana, chakula kitamu na wafanyakazi wema kupita kiasi. Mtoto wangu alisema ni safari yake nzuri zaidi! Tutarudi tena bila shaka.

The best base for a northern Tanzania circuit. Clean, affordable, great food. The staff helped us plan our entire itinerary — Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara — all from right here in Mto wa Mbu. Superb hospitality!

Such a hidden gem in Mto wa Mbu! Incredibly warm welcome, comfortable family room for all four of us. Loved the evening atmosphere and the local flavors at dinner. The whole team made us feel right at home in Tanzania.
