    The patio for the tea
    by SirRichard
    A dream cozy hotel, really a background for the "1001 Nights". All the rooms are different, each one has its own name and personality (have a look at the web page). They have a swimming pool for clients but is 30 minutes outside Marrakesh (free shuttle).

    I didn't sleep there, but passed by and entered to have anafter lunch tea... wonderful!

    Ngorongoro Park Camping (Tanzania)

    In the morning
    by SirRichard
    Of all the lodgings I have had in Africa, the camping at the Ngorongoro crater is one of my dearest.
    We hired a safari in the town of Arusha, not far from the Park. It included a jeep, a guide, a cooker and the tents. So we left Arusha and visited a few parks. The Ngorongoro is a huge volcanic crater and all the accomodations (3 lodges and a camping) are on the edge of the crater.
    As is considerably high, nights at the the campground are cold, much colder than I could expect in Africa. I wasn't prepared, I admit. My previous nights in Africa had been mild, if not hot. But up there was more than chilly, it was really freezing! We started the night with a fire camp, but when going into the tent, you began to feel the cold. I put on gradually ALL the clothes I had, 3 socks, the swimming suit + long sleeves pants + jeans and 2 T-Shirts, a long sleeve shirt, a sweater and a polartec jacket!!

    But what I remember most of that night was the wild animals yawnings, the roars, the bellows, the hawlings. I imagined monkeys, lions, wildebeets, elephants, leopards... And I say "imagined" as I didn't dare to peak out and see... not even to go to the toilets!

    ... and the following morning we saw footsteps all around the tents!!

    Leaving for the safari
    by SirRichard
    This hotel in Arusha is one of those typical medium range african hotels, all built in concrete, hardly painted, with huge empty corridors and very simple amenities.
    One of those in which you find african businessmen drinking alone at the bar, the staff watching TV all day and plastic curtains everywhere...

    Anyway, it was not bad, we spent there one night, coming from the border and previous to a safari to the Parks.
    The place was clean though very basic.

    From 33 to 76 USD.

    Me at the Spice Inn
    by SirRichard
    The Spice Inn is one of the classical local pensions in Stone Town (Zanzibar). It has a wide and long reputation among travellers, but is a bit old fashiones, hasn't been refurbished in many many years and right now is a bit uncomfortable and overpriced (25 USD the room).

    But is still a classic and retains some of its faded elegance. My favourite part was the magnificent veranda where you have the breakfast, on a 1st floor, from where you can observe the bustling activity of early morning in the old Stone Town...

    The lodge
    by SirRichard
    This tiny wonderful pension is a hidden secret in the Wasini Marine Park, near to Shimoni, in the South Coast of Kenya. It's got several independent bungalows, very simple but clean. No electric light, No running water, showers "african style". Good home-made food (usually the fish is caught the same day by local fishermen). About 18 USD.

    We arrived to the coast looking for the marine park, but had no idea of where were we gonna sleep. Then suddenly 3 kids appeared and started talking to us, offering us accomodation. Our first reaction was ignoring them, but after 30-40 minutes of wandering around the village, we hadn't found any place to stay so we jast gave up and accepted what the boys were offering.
    It turned out to be a wonderul paradise by the coast, with basic but clean rooms and wonderful cuisine. The place is surrounded by gardens and they organize diving trips to the Marine park.
    The showers are common, and consist on a big barrel of water on top of you, from where you open a tap and get the water (cold, of course!).

    Hey friends, this is the best Hotel I've ever been to,
    You'll see lots of tips with great photos and details about it, it was sure because of the dental week we spent in Morocco, but could never think it would be such great as this one!
    this is the only page where I am giving you details about every photo instead of gathering all the photos in one tip, because I know it will be much better to give my impressions as a comment with each of the tips of this hotel as I lived it, because for sure it is the best hotel I've ever been too till now...


    5 stars... I'd give 7
    there is a golfing yard too there!!!

    I had an attraction to fill the bath with warm water and to sit with a cold drink and relax my muscles, it was really the beautiful sort of life, and after taking a great shower, wowie
    Yay! ;-P never you could have more relaxing better than a five star luxury hotel, by the way there are rooms outside for the sauna and also massage...don't forget to cuddle yourself and enjoy them once you are there...

    If you just want to enjoy the place, and many Dentists with me from France just passed the whole 10 days in the Hotel all the time, so it is possible, sure I profited from both the Hotel and discovering the cities, I didn't want to stay passive, I'm so active always :-)
    But I understand the old people that just want to enjoy the beautiful life in tranquility!
