"Moshi is a small town, and this tucked away Airbnb looks exactly as listed. Doricass, a lovely staff member, was there to greet us at the door. She also showed us to local restaurants and took us to a local primary school to donate school supplies and meet the kids. The host is super responsive and even arranged to have Doricass cook us a Tanzanian breakfast in our home. Awesome place!!"

"John was a fantastic host, even past our checkout. During our time in Moshi, John was always a phone call away, sorting out any inconvenience that occurred. A job well done by John, going above and beyond what was required."
