We stayed here on an overland tour and we camped. The campsite was tiny. Showers were just a dirty concrete stall with a trickle of water but at least it was warm. My biggest complaint was that it was so close to the highway that you could hear the highway traffic all night long, along with music from a club... More

If you are on a budget and want to visit Mikumi then this is the place to stay. Not much works but there is a bed and helpful staff and a restaurant! Situated right in the middle of town means that you can easily get here with public transport.

We stayed here in July 2012 for two nights. The hotel then was very empty with not many guests staying. Rooms are large and comfortable, good mosquito nets. Next door rooms can be heard easily, can be quite noisy. The hot water didn't work that well for us. But it is more than comfortable. The staff are excellent, helpful and... More

Genesis offers a fair price/performance ratio. The rooms are compareably clean and the mosquito nets are in order. The location to the Mikumi national park is perfect, so to the town, where the main bus station is. The staff is helpful, also in arranging private safaris. They offer half day for approx $130 per car! Accomodation is approx $30 per... More

Genesis Motel was a great place to stay in the late 1990's when Tanzania didn't have anything better. Nowadays, however, it compares badly with what is n offer elsewhere- even in MIkumi itself, both against the budget tourist offer (Tanswiss, Halfway Hotel) and the run of the mill self contained guesthouse rooms available in town for less then ten thousand...

I arrived in Mikumi without anything arranged, they offered affordable accomodation, good food, and arranged a tour for us to the national park. Really nice at an incredible low-cost
