We began our safari trip by spending a few nights in Tent With a View to recover from the journey and rest up before the real safari began. It was an excellent idea. The accommodation is really luxurious and the setting is remote and so very beautiful. One of our happiest memories is of walking back to our tent after... More

What a holiday. Jules Verne have found a treasure here. Wonderful location fabulous food and helpful friendly staff. We were looked after so well, nothing was too much trouble. How the staff managed to serve 5 tasty courses every dinner time amazes me. The safaries were great and Kita our guide managed to track all the animals that we wanted... More

This is great. Hats off to David Guthrie who operates this beautiful glamping experience by the sea. He's obviously an animal nut who loves his elephants. Saw plenty of those as well as giraffe. its not exactly teeming but probably comparable with the numbers I once saw in the Kruger. 5 days here good for anybody's soul. Lovely atmosphere. Book...

We stayed here for 4 days as part of a VJV Safari and it certainly did not disappoint. The accommodation in individual elevated bandas was very comfortable and spacious with a verandah overlooking a white soft sandy beach and the beautiful Indian Ocean with verandah furniture and hammock. The food served at the steps away restaurant was lovely but the... More

The lodge rooms are superb and very private with wonderful forest views. The food is first class, the guides excellent. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, waterhogs, zebras, wilderbeast, the countryside has some wonderful trees and savannah. The staff were simply excellent.

We stayed at Tent with a View as part of a VJV safari holiday. The setting and accommodation were superb. The "hotel" is a series of individual bandas on stilts strung along a white sand beach with a stilted large bar/restaurant where all meals are taken. The food was exceptional. We were served a delicious 5 course meal every evening,... More

I like to go on holiday alone sometimes and that can be easier at some places than others. This place was/is amazing..I was picked up from Saadani airstrip and driven the 45 mins-ish ride to Tent With A View. I had picked what seemed to be low season as there was one family but otherwise just me. This meant I... More

I agree with all the wonderful comments about this place and the fantastic staff but would go even further. We came as a small group of 12 people, and were the only people there. On arrival we were met by the staff and allocated our rooms. At the same time our diet needs were noted (two of us are vegetarian... More

We were in the same group as "Bob Croydon" and cannot add very much to his accurate review of our holiday. Saadani was magical - to be right on the beach and walk for your evening meal was a lovely experience. The accommodation was great, the food excellent and the staff became our friends for the time we stayed. Our... More

Our four-night stay here was part of a longer safari-holiday in Tanzania & Zanzibar. From the UK end, we had booked through the super-efficient people at Voyages Jules Verne - to be looked after, with meticulous care, by a top-notch company going by the memorably catchy name of Tent with a View (check out thier website). From the word go,... More
