I just returned from an incredible stay in Tanzania, and I'm still thinking about it. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The housekeeping team cleaned our room twice daily, twice!, and left everything pristine each time. It's the kind of attention to detail that makes you feel genuinely cared for. Speaking of care, the staff here set a new standard. Throughout the day, someone was always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It never felt intrusive—just warm and attentive in a way that's increasingly rare. The dining experience was a pleasant surprise. Every meal was a buffet with a wonderful variety, and at $20, it's remarkable value. We never left hungry or disappointed. Now, the view. I don't say this lightly: it's so stunning you'll wonder if it's real. Whether from our room or the dinning area, I found myself stopping just to take it in, over and over again. And if you like to stay fit even on vacation, there's a gym and paddle court you can use use, neat and descently equipped. And for anyone who worries about safety while traveling, the security here put us completely at ease. And as the locals will say - Hukuna matata - Guards are stationed at the beach area, which added an extra layer of comfort that let us fully relax and enjoy ourselves. Tanzania stole my heart, and Tembo was a big part of why. I'll be back!
