We were well received by the receptionist charleine kabila, she had received us well, it was professional, understanding, especially the softness
Excellent hotel and very good service in all areas. Excellent animation as I said the guys very dedicated to their task and always attentive to have a good time.....
The hotes is excellent, it has a breakfast of champions, we were staying at the Hoten Chillan, we only met the Caedral which is very beautiful and has the seasons of the ordeal of Christ carved in wood and are very beautiful, I have to say as we only go to sleep to continue our trip to Villarrica.
The Villavicencio Nature Reserve is beautiful, the confectionery-restaurant leaves much to be desired. How do you understand that in a “natural” Reservation you are served machine coffee in a plastic cup?With a little imagination, an espresso machine, artisan cakes and generous fresh sandwiches, the place would overflow with people. He's the only one there; Who wouldn't enjoy something rich with a mountain view while the snow falls?
I think the place is very good the experience was fantastic the very good people, Alex and memo attend very well, and very good view to the lagoon
Mlimani City is the nice and easily accessible mall from the city. This Mall has a variety of products including Supermarkets, restaurants, closing stores, cinema etc. This is the amazing mall in Dar es Salaam.
Please note, this was during COVID-19. Upon arrival at the airport, Gabriel was very welcoming and informative during our day trip, and safety was his priority. This activity was a great way to see the city. We went to a fish market and Coco beach to name a few. The city was amazing from the history and the cleanliness of the city. I especially loved the views of clean Indian Ocean from Coco beach! Overall, this was a great introduction to the city and its people, and I would strongly recommend all visitors to book this activity.
Awesome, I stayed in a resort out of metro Dar es Salam. It was beautiful, and most importantly peaceful. I went on safari to Mikumi, fantastic day, there are tiny islands on the ocean about 10 minute boat ride from Azure Boutique Resort. The only down side is prices fluctuate, make sure you get a price so you can budget without carrying too much cash. International cards are problematic so hunting ATMs can distract from the days festivities or relaxation.
I fully recommend this city tour. Very well organised, it provides a fantastic way to see some of the most interesting and genuine places in Dar es Salaam. You will learn about city's history and people in the best possible way. Kivukoni fish market, and (huge, crowded) Kariakoo market are two highlights of the route, but every stop was worth making and had something special. The guide (Gabriel) was really knowledgeable and professional, yet charming and funny, at the same time. The great conversations we had were the perfect complement to the tour. The driver Athumani did a perfect job too, helping us maximise the use of our time, while driving - and parking! - safely across the busy streets of the city. The last stop is at a beach bar in Oyster Bay to have a drink and chill out, while watching the sunset. I can't think of a better way to finish the day. So if you have a free day to spend in Dar es Salaam, don't hesitate for a moment and book this tour!
