Jambo Lodge and Campsite — Hotel in Arusha

Stayed as part of a safari. The campsite and it's facilities were fine and exactly as expected. However, we let our guard down for half an hour with our bags while we were packing up our tent (Our bags were still near us) and 300,000 TSH (140 USD) was stolen from one of our bags.||||Guides called the camp after we realised (We had just left and were on the road to Ngorongoro) and staff assured that when we returned as we drove back to Arusha the money would be given back.

I was based here with friends for several weeks as a result of doing some volunteer work. This is unusual as most guests stay a night or two when on safari. My room was clean and well equipped (although I never tried the TV) and the shower worked well. Although right next to the pool I was never disturbed by noise. The grounds are quite beautiful and serene and the pool kept clean. The meals (breakfast and dinner) were varied and fresh. Hosts Johnny and Christina were delightful people who went out of their way to be helpful, and happily dealt with all sorts of requests from guests. I would not hesitate to stay here again and am looking forward...
