"The property is an actual farm. Belinda was so friendly and accommodating. We needed a place to stay for just a few hours between flights. She gave us a tour, and even cooked us lunch before heading back to the airport. "
"The views of Mt Meru and the surrounding bush country were magnificent. The grounds include banana, papaya, mango, pineapple and avocado plants/trees, all of which enhance the experience.
The staff were extremely attentive and polite. All speak English. We loved the food so much my wife wanted to bring the chef home (joking of course, but high praise). The lodge staff were trained as part of a program to provide a good livelihood to local residents who otherwise would have limited...
"Not as shown in pictures.
Low key creepy… There was no free airport pickup (as suggested)—we had to pay. No running water, no toilet seat, bugs in the sink, no electrical outlets and very cold.
We were also asked to pay twice.
On the positive they fed us a nice breakfast. "

"I can't say enough good things about Kaswende Farm. The owner was the most remarkable host I've ever met. He arranged for a pick-up for me and treated me like family on my arrival.
It was my first day in Tanzania and in fact in Africa, and he did a remarkable job at getting me up to speed with what to be aware of while travelling through the country.
The farm was very relaxing and I'm not sure, but I'm suspicious that some of the food I ate while there was grown on the farm itself. The bananas I ate there had far more flavor than the ones I'm used to eating back in the States.
The next day, I asked about how far a nearby training center was (MSTCDC) and not only did he volunteer to drive me, he even took me to get a SIM card.
The dinner was $5 bucks and in my opinion, the value of the dinner was more than the stay itself, in other words, it was very filling and very delicious. His wife generously prepared the meal and it was enough for two people. I recommend you try the mango pilipili sauce if you stay.
In summary, please stay here. "
