Something not right?
Description
Informal campsite in a venue location with a restaurant where also busses stop in between Dar and Arusha.
However the friendly English speaking manager Daniel let me pitch my roof tent in the parking lot for 20,000 shillings. There is obviously the restaurant where you can get dinner and breakfast and there are clean toilet facilities (we could use the clean and cold shower in the staff house). There is also good security.
A descent option if you're on the road and need a clean and
secured place to stay before it gets dark.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
safe and clean stop over. Youfress the manager and the staff is helpful. we camped at the parking with electricity for Tzs30.000 and used the clean cold shower in the staffhouse. Security is on the parking and we had a good and quiet night. The Tanzanian food is fresh made and there is a good bar.
Report Check-Inwe also have been here for a one-night- stopp-over (20.000 TSH) had very good, fresh cooked food and a perfect safe and silent night.
nor even a mosque was disturbing.
Its a nice place has good environment, staff are friendly and very clean toilet. Do not miss to visit the place.
Report Check-InYou pay 20,000 tsh pppn to be on a parking lot, without any level spot, using the squat toilets of the buses and the cold shower of the staff, where it is impossible to put your stuff anywhere. On top of that you are not allowed to eat your own food but you are obliged to eat the awful food from the ‘restaurant’: charred meat with the consistency of a shoe sole, dry banana and a few slices of tomato that taste like petrol. The portions are extremely small (fortunately) and expensive. Not a way to treat ‘friends’ and definitely not recommendable.
Report Check-InPaid $12 for overnight in truck with electric. Modern, clean, Daniel the manager is great. Cold beers and fast service food!
Report Check-InYou have to stay here. Great bar, good food, very friendly staff, the place is spotless.

Despite the name there is actually no accommodation here, it is just a restaurant where busses stop in between Dar and Arusha.
However the friendly English speaking manager Daniel let me pitch my roof tent in the parking lot for 20,000 shillings. There is obviously the restaurant where you can get dinner and breakfast and there are toilet facilities (didn't see a shower). There is also good security.
A decent option if you're on the road and need somewhere to stay before it gets dark.
