We travelled for 20 hours to rest overnight here before our Safari. What a gem!! A green and flowery Oasis in a beautiful part of Africa The staff were efficient and friendly. The room was clean and well appointed. The pool although chilly after the 30degree temp was bliss. The food was the best that we ate whilst we were... More

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that the food in the restaurant comes from the garden of the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food is great and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. They also have a viewing towers which in a good cloud-free day can give you access to nice views of Meru and Kilimanjaro. More

Dik Dik is a great stopover point at the beginning or end of your trip as it is near Kilimanjaro Airport. We arrived very late on the KLM flight and the staff kept the dining room open for us and served us a lovely dinner. We booked a day trip to Arusha National Park through the lodge and we had... More

We arrived in the evening to the full staff at entrance to welcome us. They helped us to our rooms and then we had a late dinner that was very good. The pool is in a beautifully landscaped garden and very serene. Monkeys scampered above in the trees and on the roofs, but nights were very quiet and easy to... More

Stayed here after arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport before heading off for our safari. The hotel is located a bit off the road, not really close to anything else. We did not have any expectations on the hotel since it was just a stop inbetween but were positively surprised to find it clean and with generous bed. The decoration is a... More

Like others we stopped just one night en route to safari in Tanzania. I can't fault the hotel on rooms or service. The grounds are very relaxing and varied with sunbeds, a pool and poolside service. We were kept amused by the antics of hornbilled birds and monkeys in the trees. Unknown to us the next four hotels we stayed... More

We stayed here as a family on our way to the parks in the north of Tanzania. The hotel is very convenently located between the international airport and Arusha, and is far enough off the road to be lovely and quiet. The rooms are large, clean and most importantly, everything works! (which is rarely true of hotels in TZ) ,... More

A good place to stay and relax. Very good food, friendly and efficient staff, magnificent garden and great pool. Rooms are clean and functional but lack the safari style decoration that many places in the area have. No TV. Still recommended! More
