Me and my family stayed at Vijiji for 4 nights and had a great time. The rooms are clean with all the basic amenities and with comfortable beds. There is a beautiful garden and big swimming pool, and the staff is always friendly and ready to help. The food was truly delicious. I can definitely recommend this place!

The place was such a beautiful one with lots of beautiful areas but there were very few children facilities compared to what was promised in the posters very few games and no children instructers the place proved to be more of adult use since the music was perfect the BBQ was excelent and the F&B service was great.

Service was great! The rooms are ordinary. The area didn't feel safe, we did not venture out of the gates. Remind them to start the water heater (manually) for a hot shower. Wifi wasn't working properly, buy one staff member was kind enough to open his hotspot for us. The pool doesn't seem to be treated. Nice gardens. Thank you for the laundry. Great staff on place.

I bought a package: airport pickup, B&B, half day safari and drop off at the airport. The pickup was perfect. So did the hotel staff. But the room, and the bathroom in particular, look like they have been used for 20 years with no renovation. Either the hotel does not use an iron or does not change sheets after changing guests. Wifi is decent. Safari fantastic. Special thanks to Suma.

Stayed for 4 days (3 nights) at The Vijiji, and it wasn't enough. I want to come back. The staff is amazing, the food is good, the small cottages.... omg! i loved it there. it is an incredible place where you get a lot of value for your money. The garden is also amazing, the pool, and all the small and cozy places round the garden where you can find peace and enjoy life. I was staying here, before my climb up the Mount Kilimanjaro, and i really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. I can really recommend a stay at this place.
