Eastern Tanzania
South Beach:
Lovely south beach homes available for rent on South Beach (south of Amani Beach.) Great view of the ocean and about a 6 minute walk down the hill to the ocean itself. Monkeys in the trees around the house and awesome stars at night. It is self catering and they have all cooking materials you need besides the food. There are two houses and they go for $120 a night weekday and $160 a night weekend. Best of all entirely eco-friendly. Solar powered, totally off the grid. We take our dog and enjoy the long walks on the beach, awesome waves for surfing and boogie boarding, the monkeys, the view, cool breezes and the amazing design and finish of the place. Check out the website http://www.siriyetu.com/Home/Home.html for more details.
Kim’s Beach is located about 25 mins from the ferry, very easy to find. Clearly signposted literally 1km after the tar finishes. It is a great place to go for the day or to camp overnight. You have to be self sufficient in terms of food and water, but there are beach bandas to escape the sun or to pitch your tent in. It’s a great escape from Dar for the night or a couple of days – and is very reasonable. Day fees are 3000 TS and to camp is 6000 TS per person per night. You should watch your belongings carefully though as there have been reported robberies.
Bagamoyo:
Bagomoyo is another good place to go on the coast. It has a rich history. Kilwa is one of the many historical sites to see in Bagomoyo. It's an amazing UN Heritage site.
Places to stay: There are many resorts in Bagamoyo such as:
The Paradise Hotel: food is good but the service is mediocre. However, it had a fire last year, so check to see if it's again operational. http://paradiseresort.net/
The Livingstone Hotel in Bagamoyo has a lovely pool and spacious rooms.
The Millennium Resort has a swimming pool and the food is ok. Click here for more information click here
Just north of Dar:
The Meditteraneo is a great restaurant with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, it's rather pricey. For more information, visit: http://www.mediterraneotanzania.com/tanzania-hotels-dar-es-salaam-mediterraneo-home.html
Usambara Mountains/Lushoto area:
Soni: Maweni Farms is situated in the Usumbara mountains. Tucked away near Soni Village approximately 15KM from Mombo town (between Segera and Moshi approx 5 -6 hours from Dar). It is a comfortable farm house which has 3 large family rooms with bathrooms. There are also 5 tents with ensuite situated away from the main house. It is a relaxing place to stay and is a good place to explore other areas. Lushoto town is a 20 minute drive and Irente farm and viewpoint just under an hour. We stayed with full board and had great home cooked food. My two children loved the gardens, the climbing and the short walks. It is not a place to go to if you want complete isolation as it can get busy, and there is very little of the natural environment remaining this side of the mountains as it has been heavily farmed. It was great to escape the heat of Dar and it gets quite chilly. The website has their prices – we paid $130 a night full board for two children and 2 adults – I thought it was good value for what we got. Email contact: maweni@gmail.com or info@maweni.com
