Amazing experience!

Since I signed up for something similar in Botsuana last year, I wanted to try it out in Tanzania as well. And this was even better! What I experienced with Kanga Homestay was truly outstanding, authenticity on the next level, and 100% real. The Village Stay at Kalimaji, in a suburban setting, was truly fulfilling. I would like to thank the host family and their friends, Regional Manager Monica, Local Coordinator Yusuph, and last but not least, of course, Kanga Homestay for organizing everything.

Operator response

We are truly grateful that you chose to book with Kanga Homestay and that your stay in Kalimaji was such a fulfilling experience. Your appreciation for the host family and our team is warmly received and will be shared with everyone involved.
