I was truly especially enjoyed the terrace and garden located on the third floor, which offer a stunning 360° panoramic view. It’s an ideal spot for those who enjoy walking or exercising outdoors. My sincere thanks to all the hotel staff for their kindness and professionalism, especially to Jacquiline, head of the reception department, and Janet, for their exceptional service.

Just returned home from amazing stay at Kipepeo. Perfect location, tasty seafood at the restaurant, clean beach with security. What is extremely memorable the staff of the hotel: the boss Dorothy always asked how did we feel, is anything ok, receptionist Siita, called Mama Siita, was so nice and warm person who made all our wishes and dreams come true, gave advice on trips, souvenirs! As someone mentioned in the reviews, better to book bungalows which are 2 minutes away on foot from the reception. Bungalows are spacious, each has balcony to chill, shower and WC.

We have decided to take the road trip from Kilimanjaro to Dar, and have arrived a bit tired. The hotel welcomed us with great care and hospitality. The restaurant works until 10 Pm but they kept it open for our group and we were able to enjoy a great dinner. Rooms were great. Breakfast was super. The roof top lounge is great too. 15 minutes by foot Azam ferry to Zanzibar. Highly recommend !

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Sunrise Beach Resort, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The resort offers a perfect blend of comfort, relaxation, and beautiful surroundings. The food was absolutely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail. Every meal felt like a treat, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. What stood out the most was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay. Their hospitality made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend Sunrise Beach Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with great food and outstanding service. I will definitely be coming back!

Dar es Salaam is a vibrant coastal city with busy traffic,...

Dar es Salaam is a vibrant coastal city with busy traffic, abundant shops, helpful locals and a strong sense of African history and identity. Visitors can explore the city through guided walking, cultural and driving tours, while safaris and trips to destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Mount Kilimanjaro should be researched and planned in advance. Tanzania is also renowned for the Great Migration, its wildlife and its unique tanzanite. On my next visit, I would certainly consider an organised tour to experience more of the country.

People are kind. The place was safe. The food was so nice Transportation was easy to get. I didn't like the fact that they raised prices for the white folks. If you are a white person, have someone who can help you out; otherwise, some places will raise prices on you.
