The room was super cozy and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a long day of adventure. I loved the seating area where I could relax and catch up on my favorite TV shows. The private bathroom was a great bonus, and the shower was refreshing.
The soundproofing wasn't the best, so I could hear some noise from outside. But hey, it's just my personal preference, and others might not mind.

The staff at this hidden gem were absolutely incredible, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness during our stay. They were super friendly and genuine, treating us like family. The location was jaw-dropping, offering easy access to the main road while still providing a secluded and tranquil atmosphere. The place was immaculately clean, a true testament to the hardworking staff. The food was mind-blowing, with a variety of delicious local African dishes to sample. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. this place exceeded all our expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and remarkable experience.

The free Wi-Fi was great, I could post all my safari pictures without any interruptions. The outdoor pool was a nice touch, I felt very posh lounging by the pool with a cocktail in hand. The shared lounge was a great place to meet other pretentious travelers.
The gift shop was a bit disappointing, I couldn't find any diamond-encrusted safari hats. Such a shame.

I recently stayed at Vijiji Center Lodge & Safari for a week and it was absolutely amazing! Mr. Suma, our safari guide, did a fantastic job throughout the entire safari. The camp inside Ngorongoro Park was well-organized and the staff were excellent. The friendly and attentive staff made our stay even better, and the food was delicious. The resort has a great relaxing vibe and the surrounding greenery is truly beautiful. Plus, the pool, restaurant, and their own safari tours added to the whole experience. Highly recommended!
Can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

We had a fantastic stay at this lodge and safari. The location was beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and a jungle-like atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even before our stay, assisting us in organizing our trip. The hotel facilities were good, with no TV or A/C, which added to the natural and relaxing experience. The meals were delicious, and the soup was a real belly buster. We also appreciated the convenient location, as it was central to everything we wanted to do, including a safari and climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. The local people were friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Hard to think of anything.

Limited time to fully enjoy the lodge and its amenities due to early departure and late arrival.

We especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast and found the staff to be eager to assist us. the well-maintained gardens and peaceful surroundings added to the overall tranquility of the place. The drink prices were also reasonable compared to other venues. Cons: Can't fault the property in any way! 😊.

The staff were phenomenal! So friendly and genuine, so concerned with not only our comfort in our rooms but how we were doing with everything; from food to the pool, etc! ! They keep everything very very clean. Location is incredible, with easy access to the main road and yet you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. I would HIGHLY recommend this place.
Felt like they were family, no complaints at all.

Friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The bungalow we stayed in was very comfortable with a spacious and clean room. The meals served were delicious and offered a wide variety of local African dishes. The lodge organized affordable and high-quality safaris and local trips, providing us with unique experiences. The location in a rural area added to the authentic and local feel of our stay.
