“Beautiful rooms in beautiful surroundings. Excellent day trips on offer. Great food.”
I booked a room, not expecting much for the price i paid, just a bed to sleep in. Was I wrong in the best way possible. The room was lovely with a massive bathroom and large shower. I enjoyed coffees out on the porch in the mornings.

“Probably the best hotel to stay around Moshi at a reasonable price - some things to improve though!”
Nice hotel near Moshi in a lush garden, very nice rooms with super clean bathroom and AC. The personnel including Mister James was very helpful, helping with our requests and handling our luggage when needed the most. Swift payment by PayPal, nice menu at the restaurant.

“Disappointing experience that should have been much better!”
The staff were very friendly - we booked 2 rooms which were decent size and beds were comfortable. Last minute booking that was handled well initially.

“Fantastic property and staff”
The room was amazing and it had AC which was a plus, especially after hiking Kilimanjaro as we needed some rest. The common areas are also very beautiful and the garden is impressive. The staff was also fantastic, always with a smile and the food was really good. Highly recommend staying here!

“We are very happy to meet such wonderful people and stay in such amazing place.”
The Best what You can do being in Tanzania, stay at Tulivu Kilimanjaro Retreat. It’s really the ideal place for Retreat with an amazing staff and really friendly people. The Victoria and Emmanuel manage all processes in the Hotel. I with my husband went to Kilimanjaro and decided before climbing stay at this wonderful place and we were met by Victoria and girls (unfortunately did not remember the names, sorry) on arrival who were very hospitable. Food was excellent, room was perfect (very clean) and people just amazing. We booked the excursion through the hotel and it was very well organized. It`s not just the “place”, you can really feel the soul of Tanzanian people through staying in this place. When I had some health problems after climbing Kilimanjaro, Emmanuel took me with my husband to hospital to find the doctor I need, that helped me a lot. We are very happy to meet such wonderful people and stay in such amazing place. Keep going and we are sure that having such team all projects will be realized at their best.

“A+++”
The breakfast was incredible, a choice or cooked sausages or samosas with eggs, toast, fruit, fresh juice and tea, coffee and milo. Well cooked for your chosen time and served in beautiful surroundings. Victoria, Emmanual and MJ were friendly, helpful and ensured my stay was A+. The day trips they offer were fabulous, with the Maasai village and Moshi market being my favourite. This really is the place to stay pre and post Kilimanjaro climb. It is quiet, relaxing, stunning surroundings and i had a thoroughyl enjoyable stay.
