But apart from all that, the reason I had a great time here is because the people were very friendly and willing to help you out or show you around: they' can also help arrange your adventures safari through their safari company! The property is close to Ngorongoro its easy and cheap to get joining safari! I highly recommend Jambo Rooms Cheers, Jacoby ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pearl Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pearl-Beach-Resort-Zanzibar.h39193618.Hotel-Information) > > [Kia Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Kia-Lodge.h1849013.Hotel-Information) > > [Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Melia-Serengeti-Lodge.h18410258.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Lions Paw](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Lions-Paw.h31668051.Hotel-Information) > > [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Neptune-Ngorongoro-Luxury-Lodge.h5026066.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > > [Maharaja Boutique Hotel Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Maharaja-Boutique-Hotel-Zanzibar.h106507120.Hotel-Information) > > [Sensations Eco-Chic Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Pwani-Mchangani.h95985922.Hotel-Information) > > [Manyara Lake View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Manyara-National-Park-Hotels-Manyara-Wildlife-Safari-Camp.h4857406.Hotel-Information) > > [Africana Grand Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Africana-Grand-Hotel-Arusha.h18589271.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [PILI PILI UHURU](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-PILI-PILI-UHURU.h76785042.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Arusha Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Arusha-Safari-Lodge.h10018115.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Bamboo Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Bamboo-Zanzibar.h103409507.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Lake Natron Camping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Natron-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Lake-Natron-Camping.h71677276.Hotel-Information) > > [Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Amani-Boutique-Hotel.h45431049.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantya Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Anantya.h95540769.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Uroa Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Uroa-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5448275.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > > [Antares Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Mani-Hotels-Antares-Villa.h95147597.Hotel-Information) ---
