A great place to stay at!

If you’re gonna be in the Kilimanjaro area, this is the place to stay at! Me and my two sons had a wonderful stay at Kiwavi Home. Simba is very welcoming and friendly and can always help you with any question you have whether it’s things to do and see around Moshi, how to get around or how to get a good price in the market :) The breakfast is amazing! It’s also nice that you have a kitchen you can use together with others and other rooms that are shared, in that way you have the chance to talk to other people from all over the world! Thank you Simba and crew for a great stay.

Home away from home - book here!

If you want a home away from home, this is the place to be! The room itself was very comfortable and clean, the shower had very hot water and the pressure was very very strong. The grounds have beautiful gardens with a nice view of Kilimanjaro. There are beautiful plants and places to relax with the most friendly dog and cat. The breakfast is amazing. Something different each day with a lot of effort put into the food. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Simba takes time for everyone who stays there and will always be happy to help you out. Thanks again for my stay!

Amazing experience with amazing breakfast and cute dog

I stayed in Kiwavi for two weeks. The room is nice and clean with good hot shower. WiFi works pretty good. The location is a bit outside of town so it’s quiet but not far from the town. I can see Kilimanjaro from the rooftop. The breakfast is AMAZING! Especially the pancakes. Coffee is fresh made-it’s NOT instant coffee thank god. Simba is very nice and helpful and always joeful sometimes I am jealous he is always so happy Hahha. The Laundry service is very good and affordable. I love the big dog Bahati.

Feels like home and so much more

From the moment you step through the door, this place feels like home—a truly unique and heartwarming experience. The host goes above and beyond, offering incredible hospitality and making everything feel effortless. Whether it’s organizing tours, sharing insider tips for the best local restaurants, or ensuring every detail of your stay is perfect, their care and dedication shine through. The breakfast here is simply outstanding—easily the best I’ve ever had and worth highlighting on its own. And if you’re lucky, you might catch a breathtaking view of Mount Kilimanjaro while relaxing on the rooftop. Every moment spent here is a delight, and it’s the kind of place that keeps calling you back. I can’t wait to return!

Lovely stay in a secluded villa overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro

We immediately felt welcomed and at home at Kiwavi Home. Our family room was super spacious and comfortable. Loved the vintage feel of the bathroom and dressing! The breakfast was scrumptious and different every morning. The outside lounge areas at super cosy and we really enjoyed discussing with Joy about the social work she and Simba conduct in the villages neighbouring Moshi. We will definitely come back!
