Daniel's family was lovely and very kind. They helped us a lot in everithing we needed. Mamadani's cooks are amazing and the room is comfortable. Organazing the safari through Daniel's friend was also a good experience.
A good option to experience the real life in Tanzania, not from inside a hotel.
