We came to climb Kilimanjaro MACHAME route in March n had really great holiday. I must say for African standards (as I travel lots around the world) it was fantastic. The hotel was very comfy n cosy n staff very attentive n helpful. Nice to relax before the hike and after. Our 6day tour up the Kili mountain was great... More

I did a safari with Zara and stayed 2 nights at Springlands. The safari was fantastic and the hotel a perfect launch pad. The staff was friendly and helpful and could speak English well, which is not the case at all hotels. The food was excellent. The only downside was how far away it was, and being on a really... More

I stayed here for a Kili climb in late January 2013 that was booked through Ultimate Kilimanjaro. They use Zara Tours as their in-country operator. The climb was really good. The hotel was less so. I think I got the worst room in the place - #75, which is right behind the bar. with only a hallway separating it, and... More

Since I can't review Zara tours separately, I have to give them a 5. My guides and porters were fantastic (Issa 1, Issa 2, Nuru, Salaman and others) and were the reason I made it to the the top of Kilimanjaro. Zara tours is run out of Springlands, so that if your option. The Springlands hotel itself is ok. I... More

Springlands is a little oasis in the outskirts of Moshi but close enough to town centre. You have do drive over a painful unpaved road to get there but that is only the last few minutes of the drive. There is nothing immediately around the hotel (you need to take a cab ride out of there). Fortunately, because they are... More

We arrived in Moshi and I was so happy to be at Springlands. The people, the food, the pool, the village and rice patty surrounding it. Management is so helpful and kind and really helped us with our plans while staying in and around Moshi. Beds are comfy too and they have a good amount of hot water, clean as... More

Springlands Hotel is situated in the outskirts of Moshi and is strongly fenced with a guarded gate. The hotel is more like a hostel than a hotel and almost everybody whos staying here are just using it as a starting point for either a Kilmanjaro Trekking or a Safari in the Serengeti area. The hotel is operated by Zara Tours,... More

Like the vast majority of people, we stayed here as part of our Kilimanjaro climb. On arrival the hotel looks great. It's a busy little place, more of a transit hotel than a relaxing oasis. Situated down the bumpiest road in the world, just outside Moshi centre The bedrooms are poor. No air conditioning, just a large, noisy fan, however... More

This is more of a hostel with very basic services. The buffet meals are good, adequate is more like it. Some of the rooms are better than others and some do not have a fan in rooms that approach 40C. Also be very careful what your trip voucher states. Mine clearly stated "own room", but they tried to bunk me... More
