Pembeni Rhotia

Location is beautiful. Staff very corteous. Sunset at the pool amazing views. Food is crafted good. Tents well furnished, bed is very comfortable. Decor is accordingly to the rustic theme. Bath sink and toilet are clean. Hot water works nicely. Poor lighting specially at the bathroom. Need a flashlight or something like it. Overall great stay !

You would not expect this nice camp on your way to it since the street is currently not existing but when you are or have a great driver this is not a problem at all. It will just add to all the adventures you are experiencing. The tents are fully ok, beds are comfortable. Baths do not have doors, only loose tent canvas but all tents have own bathrooms, which is impressive by itself. We stayed 2 nights, and dinner was good and fresh, but the same both nights. Staff was friendly but not as warm hearted as we experienced it in other camps. Breakfast was good and lunchboxes were also good and sufficient.

We stayed at Pembeni Inn for just a night during our Tanzania safari. It is well located in Rhotia town between Arusha and Ngorongoro Crater, serving as a perfect stop in between. The property itself is very beautiful, well kept and managed. It is also quite secluded, making it quiet and relaxing. The rooms were glamping style tents with an attached bathroom, equipped with hot water and all basic amenities. They also have a decently priced bar and a swimming pool overlooking the mountains. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Food was very well prepared and sumptuous for all the meals we had. Highly recommend!!

In the middle of nowhere up on a mountain we stayed at this tent lodge for one night during our safari trip to Ngorongo and Serengeti. Family of four had two tents with an amazing view.. Friendly staff, a swimming pool to cool down in and full food service. Maybe not my type of food but a buffet to choose from. Clean tents (and I’m picky) nice beds so we slept well :-) Thanks for a nice stay!!

I stayed here on the last night of a 2 week safari tour with G adventures and unfortunately this was the worst accommodations of the whole trip - my entire tour group agreed. None of us were able to get much sleep at all, the tents were very close together so you could hear people snoring, flushing toilets, and a particularly noisy threesome next door speaking very loudly and having sex! And the dogs..the call and response of wild dogs (one sounded like it was parked next to my tent) kept us all up until about 3 am. The tents were not as nicely constructed as other camps we went to and there wasn't the personal services we had like at other camps such as putting down the mosquito nets and closing the tents (I can't speak to the cost/level of service comparisons between accommodations because I didn't book but the costs of the different hotels booked by the tour company were comparable).

Family stay over for one night before travelling to Ngorongoro. The welcome party is very friendly and settle you into your rooms. The tents are clean and have good facilities including hot shower, sockets, mosquito nets and given it can be quite cold in the nights some thick blankets. The chef and supporting team are efficient, kind and best of all make tasty food. We stayed when they had a barbecue and the pork ribs were really tender. Breakfast has plenty of choice. One minor improvement would be stronger lighting in the tents. Not sure why Tripadvisor says there are children’s activities as there aren’t (not that this was important).
