Struttura in posizione strategica per l'aeroporto
Pros:

Struttura letteralmente a 5 minuti di auto dall'aeroporto Kilimanjaro, ideale per chi ha partenze ad orari proibitivi.
La struttura offre inoltre la navetta per arrivarci.
L'aeroporto inoltre non ha un traffico aereo così elevato, per cui nonostante la vicinanza, abbiamo dormito tranquillamente senza nemmeno aver bisogno dei tappi o altro.
Inoltre hanno anche un buon ristorante, una piscina ed un piccolo negozietto per poter passare il tempo senza dover uscire dall'hotel

Cons:

Migliorerei solamente la pulizia, però comunque siamo già ad un bun livello

Smooth airport transfer, but poor cleanliness and a possible bed bug risk make it difficult to recommend.
Pros:

We stayed for just a couple of hours after our safari to catch an early morning flight. The airport transfer was smooth and convenient.
