Usa Riverの別荘

From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a magical place (and in a heartbeat decided to extend our stay). Not only does staying here impact the bottom line of the multiple ways the Africa Amini foundation supports local health and community projects, there’s so much on offer, all without any sense of urgency or push. The team were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, Pearl, Lucas, Malachi - all utterly brilliant with our kids. The food (oh my…) was seriously impeccable - truly the best we had in our whole Tanzanian trip - made with love and brought to a wonderfully laid table right outside our accommodation - with the bonus of waking to find an unexpected giraffe casually mooching through our garden one morn, then serenaded by the sound of bush babies as we ate in the evenings. The swimming pool, grounds, coffee bar and even the micro gift shop - all perfection. The story behind its inception and the progress they’ve built here in the area is truly inspirational. I visited the incredible Africa Amini Alama Clinic (about 10 mins drive away) for a booked massage which was wonderful, if a little selfish compared to all the excursions on offer to locally-founded schools and working co-operatives. You get a real sense of the good they do in one short visit so I’d recommend it highly. The property itself that we stayed in was unique - homely in style, thoughtfully rustic but with a wonderful attention to detail, brimming with a genuine warmth. We could have happily stayed a month or more in this hidden gem that we feel blessed to have discovered. Nashukuru to you all.
