Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Tanzania

My family had a wonderful 4 nights staying at Margo’s property - very private, very large functional bedrooms with fans, air conditioning and private ensuites, plus a separate fully self contained 3rd bedroom. A beautiful pool, 24 hour security onsite, daily house cleaning by Ester. And the dogs were super friendly and great company. If you like football, pack your boots and enjoy a game with the locals on the pitch next door. If you like tapas or just really good food - recommend having dinner at “ To Be” which is approx 1km from Margo’s. Couldn’t find fault with the accommodation or the lovely Margo as a wonderful host, who was available, responsive but also gave us total privacy.

The house was beautiful and modern (with fresh fruit on arrival), Rainer is readily available for any queries, Paolo was an incredible help and 15 minutes from the beach. However, this is in a rural part of Zanzibar but all in all our stay was fantastic in Rainer's home.

My stay was simply great! The place was spotlessly clean and just as beautiful as in the photos – you immediately felt comfortable. I would particularly like to highlight Emmanuel and Kamada, the hostess and our favorite Massai. They were incredibly friendly, reliable and always available when I had any questions. Her warm nature made the stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend their place to everyone and would come back anytime!

Judith was very responsive, helpful and accommodating. Her assistant, Neema, was gracious and available for any request we had. The house is beautiful and the grounds are even more incredible with the covered porch and pool area, large yard with the sounds of a nearby river. The kitchen is well stocked. The master bedroom has a nice deck. It is a little ways out of Arusha but is gated and very quiet and private. The photos are great but don't do justice for how nice this place really is when you are walking around the grounds.

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay! The accommodation was clean, modern, and had all the appliances we needed. We were looking for a quiet place and this was it. We basically had the pool to ourselves and Julie was on hand to answer our many questions at the onset. She even provided the first breakfast as well as a huge watermelon and bananas, which was much appreciated. The guards made us feel extra safe, even though it's a very safe area already, and sometimes we got a visit at the pool from the nearby cat or dog, which as animal people we loved. We will most certainly be returning! What a little paradise. (PS Being able to arrange a lift from and to the airport was also really handy.) Thank you so much for a beautiful work-cation/holiday!

Big Thanks to Samwel for his help and kindness.

I absolutely loved my stay at the Cozy Bungalows. It's in a serene environment and I immediately felt at home once I arrived. The beach is just a five-minute walk away—just as stunning as Paje Beach, but peaceful and free from crowds. There are plenty of cozy spots to lounge around, and a delicious beachfront restaurant to get food at. Ijob was a welcoming host - great energy, helpful, and laid back. If the opportunity presents itself - I'll definitely be back.

Maia, was super helpful and friendly!! Me and my girlfriend are originally from Chicago, we decided to celebrate her in Nungwi Zanzibar and we found Maia’s beautiful home located right in front of the beach/Indian ocean. Maia helped us to get a cake, flowers and champagne, something that I wouldn’t have been able to arrange without Maia’s help. Im extremely grateful for Maia, helping us to create memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to booking her beautiful home again in the near future!!

Many thanks to Ms. Jing for her hospitality, availability and especially her kindness. I highly recommend and I'd love to stay again if I go back. Thanks

**An Unforgettable Stay with Exceptional Hospitality!** From the moment we arrived, Veronica made us feel right at home. Her warmth and attention to detail truly set this Airbnb experience apart. The house itself is even more charming in person, spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The little touches, like indoor grown plants, a welcome note, made us feel so valued as guests.

This was my second stay at Judith Place in Dar, and it was just as great as the first time. The space is clean, comfortable, and peaceful — perfect for relaxing or getting work done. The host is responsive and welcoming. Definitely a place I’ll return to again!

I had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The rooms were spotless, and the entire house had a welcoming, well-kept feel. Everything was well-organized, and it made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. One of the best things about this place is its location. It’s right at the center of everything, so it’s super easy to access shops, restaurants, and other amenities (just a short cab ride away). Lillian was a great host, friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free experience. I’definately would love to come back again!

We enjoyed our stay. his home is lovely. it's very clean and Morgan modern, with all of the amenities you need. we were convenient to town, and being next to the water with a lovely breeze when you open the windows. we'll be back

This was our second stay with Stephanie after returning from Mikumi, and it was just as lovely as the first. She was very considerate and even offered us an early check-in if needed. We really enjoyed relaxing in the cosy living room, watching Netflix, and enjoying the breeze. Shops are within walking distance if you like to explore, but I especially appreciated having a peaceful space to rest, a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, and convenient laundry facilities before heading off to work in another region. Stephanie even kindly offered to send us anything we might need from Dar while we were away for work. There were also books available — I just wish I had time to finish the one I started! She was always responsive and full of great recommendations.

Beautiful place to stay! Very accommodating and friendly staff! Loved the outdoor bar, pool and oceanfront view!

Prashila’s place was beautiful. Amazing furniture, nicely designed, great amenities, washing machine. She was a fantastic host, super responsive, very helpful, flexible, and offered us a late check out. Would highly recommend. The location is convenient for downtown, it is a 4 flight walk up, but Prashila has people to help with the luggage. As it is downtown, it is noisy but this is expected for booking a place in town. Overall, very comfortable stay and look forward to staying again in the future. Thank you

Leah’s place was great. Clean and safe . I stayed 1 night here. Leah was very responsive. I arrived after midnight and she still answered her phone when I arrived . I would stay here again

Stunning property, very modern and chic. Check in was a breeze as there were staff on property 24/7 ready to accommodate your needs. The day housekeeper- Esther was really lovely and welcoming. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. I would highly recommend.

Had a nice stay. This is a perfect place for relaxation. I will definitely come again.

We had a lovely stay. Check in and out were seamless, and the area was peaceful. It was the perfect distance from Stonetown, and it had all the amenities we needed. We had a few questions regarding the apartment and appliances. The team was very responsive and resolved the inquiries we had in a timely fashion. Thank you for everything!
