Amazing place, location, staff, food... everything! We spent 4 magical days immersed in nature, cuddled by the very professional staff and enjoying the quiet and slow rhythm of the forest around us. Beautiful safari tours to the local village of Gongo and to Saadani National Park are a plus. Absolutely recommended!

Friendliness of the staff. Catering for individual needs regarding dietary needs. The location was superb. Very restful and an air of tranquility. The place ws very eco friendly and interested in working with the community to help them save the forests while making profit from the land.

The water pressure made it a challenge to wash as well as we would like.and no hot water. But a minor issue and understandable considering the wonderful situation.

The bandas were very eco friendly and jungle nature made it awesome

The distance from main place to lodge bandas was quite far

The accomondation and the nature around. Perfect for hiking...Also the stuff was extremely friendly and service minded.

The location was calm and peaceful.

It was a bit far from the reception. Had walk a bit and with kids it becomes a bit difficult.

a very nice place to stay ! all the staff is kind. we’ve applied for the Safari + the boat safari combined. it was amazing; a lot of elephants and hyppos and far from the crowdy other places. thanks a lot To everyone and a special mention to Salim.

Well managed retreat located in bush. Very helpful staff, good meals and accommodation. Excellent tour guide. Eco based with strong links to local community. Quiet and restful.

A little difficult to get to but worth the trip.

beautiful location, charming, well informed and service minded staff. The interesting and inspirational tourism concept meant that we were well received by residents of the beautiful village of Gongo, and our walks in the surrounding areas were peaceful and informative.

Very bad roads and poor signing to get to the location, as well as poor directions

The chef’s meals were some of the best in Tanzania.

The walk from reception to the loge was quite long.

Miseni Retreat is certainly not a 5-star luxurious hotel; it is so much more. Miseni is a mission-driven experience that provides fabulous creature comforts like a comfortable bed and wonderfully prepared food in a natural environment. The staff show personal attention to guests’ needs at all times of the day or night and have incredible local knowledge about roads, wildlife and Saadani National Park. We wanted to stay in the tents. They had a proper bed with comfortable mattresses and they were cleaned every day. We imagined relaxing on the porch but the lodge and other lookouts were so inviting we spent very little time in our tent. I definitely this experience for people who appreciate being outdoors.

We were not prepared for the drive to get there. If you make your own arrangements, contact the site first. The drive through the forest to get there is a better drive for the day time.
