Waking up to Kilimanjaro

We loved the view, the design of the Rooms and the lush garden, as well as the services of guiding they are offering. Food offerings are good, but pitty we could not taste local food well done and served in the premises

This place is lovely! I stayed before and after my kilimanjaro climb. When I came the second time, the staff remembered my name and welcomed. They even gave me an upgrade to one of the lofts. Wow. This was amazing. The view from the balcony is just stunning. Breakfast and Dinner were also amazing. Highly recommend to stay here!

Magical stay

Our honeymoon stay at the hotel in Moshi was absolutely magical. We were upgraded to the best room available and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. From separate romantic dinners to a bed decorated with flowers and a complimentary bottle of champagne, every detail was taken care of to ensure our experience was truly special. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a romantic getaway in Moshi.

An oasis of calm on the slopes of Kilamanjaro

The view is divine, the staff are attentive and the garden feels like a sea of tranquility away from the chaos of Moshi centre

Kaliwa, a truly wonderful place for staying near Mount Kilimanjaro (close to Machame Trail)

The location was perfect, as we wanted to be close to Kilimanjaro and to have a good view of it. Kaliwa is located in the middle of an agricultural zone, filled with very nice and friendly people. It is a very well-run hotel, with good rooms, beds, pillows, etc., but the highlight is its personnel. The warmth, efficiency, friendliness, and devotion to good service shown by Justina, Josephine, Vivian, and Lina (the chef) were in fact remarkable, in itself a justification to go to Kaliwa. The sensation of being appreciated as a visitor was overwhelming. The food is incredible, starting with breakfast which was out of this world in its completeness and its quality, all meals were an experience of different flavors, with the best ingredients. Because at this time of year it gets a bit fresh in the evening, we always had a fire in a cozy living room, with wonderful books to look at, enjoying a perfect gin and tonic, waiting to be served another wonderful dinner. Service went beyond the hotel, as Justina organized a hike to Kilimanjaro with Edmund, a fantastic guide, motivated, with good English, and very knowledgeable, while taking care of the recovery of our luggage which had been misplaced between Kenya and Tanzania, and it was waiting for us when we returned from Kilimanjaro. Kaliwa's deck, overlooking a river, with Kilimanjaro in the background, is something truly special. I congratulate the owner for running such a good operation, something in which the quality of her personnel obviously plays a very relevant role.
