Pembeni Rhotia — Hotel in Arusha

Design is brilliant, and pool is nice; the tents have a nice view on a farmers valley which is on the far edge of Ngorongoro conservation area, no wildlife to spot. Tents spacious with a good bathroom. Very helpful staff.|Breakfast decent; for those on FB they can compose their own lunchbox.

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...

We had a truly memorable stay for last night on our return from safari. We arrived in good time to be able to enjoy the view from our wonderful tent accommodation.||Our tent was comfortable and had everything we needed.|The infinity pool looked inviting but instead we chose to simply take in the surroundings. 2 nights would have been even better.||We had an opportunity to chat with very helpful pleasant staff members (cannot remember names and included assistant manager) at breakfast which is always a great part of the experience. ||The coffee, dinner, breakfast, and a box lunch provided were good.||We were well looked after and would definitely...
