The location and the view from the property is simply stunning. Its a perfect getaway spot. The complimentary guided walking tour in and around the property was an incredible experience. The viewpoint gave us ample photo spots and was totally worth it.

The location is serene, i got the calmness i was looking for. The manager and Said (his assistant?) were helpful even helped me get transport to town on my departure.

Ziada Tanzania

The lodge is located perfectly over the hills bordering the lake. Pleasent view. Perfect for a Gateaway. Credit goes to Thomas (manager) and His staff, polite and very welcoming.

Die Lage ist nicht zu übertreffen. Von der Terrasse des Zeltes (außerordentlich komfortabel) sah man sowohl auf den Lake Chala und in den frühen Morgenstunden auch direkt auf den Kilimanjaro. Sehr freundliches Personal und bei allen Fragen sehr hilfsbereit. Frühstück und Abendessen lassen keine Wünsche offen. Kajaktour auf dem See und Wanderung kann man ohne weiter Kosten vor Ort buchen.

Ein aussergewöhnlich schöner Platz, sehr nettes Personal,empfehlenswert

Das Hotel hat wunderschöne Umgebung . Das Restaurant ist direkt oberhalb von See, mit traumhafter Ausblick. Aus Zimmer sieht man See und bei gutem Wetter auch Kilimanjaro. Das Hotel hat einen deutschen Manager, der uns sehr viel über Tansania erzählt. Eine Tour um See und zum Dry River ist inklusiv. Ebenso Kayaking. Letztendlich war es günstiger als ein organisierter Ausflug . Im Restaurant kostet ein hervorragendes Mittagessen max.7USD. Abend wird ein 3- Gänge Menü für 20USD serviert. Man fühlt sich da wie im Paradies.
