Shimbwe Meadows Home

We had a great stay at this B&B-style hotel about 30 minutes outside Moshi. The rooms are fairly basic, but clean and comfortable, and the setting is really nice with views of the forest and Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days. The rooftop viewing platform is a nice touch. Beatus, the host, was welcoming and very helpful, especially with planning a safari and suggesting local hikes. The food was very good and reasonably priced, and Janet did a great job preparing and serving our meals. Cell service was also reliable, and there's a pool on-site that looked nice, although we didn't use it.We had a great stay at this B&B-style hotel about 30 minutes outside Moshi.

The main downside is the location-it's a bit remote, which makes getting to and from town (about 20-30 minutes) less convenient. The WiFi was also hit or miss at times, though that's somewhat expected given the location.

Beautiful view and the most helpful owner/operator and staff

A breakfast menu didn't exist, we had to tell thm what we wanred for breakfast everyday but I couldn't remember the options

The location is absolutely amazing with views of the Kilimanjaro! Our bedroom had views of the mountain and also the outdoor porch area where you have your breakfast has this stunning view. They also offer lunch and dinner for 10$ per meal per person. Also they offer pick up from and to the airport. We did a hike with them to the Materuni waterfalls which was a great experience. You walk from the hotel to the waterfall and back and it takes about 4 hours. Definitely recommend this hike!

The credit card payment machine was broken so we had to pay in cash so be aware of this.

Great location to close to the mountain and nature Good meals Family run with hearts

There is no hook to hang in anything in the bathroom. No cabinet or table to place the clothes and towel if you go for a shower
