Travel reviews by Mr J from London

"A great stop-over with a pleasant pool and a really good restaurant.

A little bit of confusion over the pick-up – they turned up at 3am when it should have been 5.30am!"

"Absolutely magical!!

Everything was brilliant – the camp, location, guides and service. It was such a lovely way to be introduced to a safari – I would recommend it to anybody.

And the food! It was stunning."

"The remote location was a bit of a shock but once we had gotten over that it was a really, really special place.

Somehow the light, environment and wildlife seemed so much rawer than Nyerere. The camp didn’t feel as welcoming as Siwandu but it was still an absolutely amazing set-up and the service was great – the new spa addition is great afternoon trip!

It was only half full when we stayed and that sometimes felt a little intense.

At both Jongomero and Siwandu the guides were fantastic!"

"A bit disappointed with Zuri.

We arrived on a Saturday and it was a full moon party on the neighbouring beach – it kept us awake until 4am which wasn’t great. It wasn’t just a bit of background noise it was loud. There was a constant background noise as it is located next to a party beach (normally finished at c. 10.30 pm) and the jet ski’s go back and forth past the beach.

The hotel itself is well designed and appointed (the pool is ace) but the laid back, peaceful vibe it is pushing is at odds with the neighbours.

The room we had was dark as it is set in the jungle bit which I personally didn’t like and it was a buffet dinner which I wasn’t a fan of."
