Let me just start this review by mentioning the avocados. They're delicious, so tasty and soft. You should definitely try them. The tree is discreetly standing in the neatly arranged garden, so close you might feel the desire to steal them. But don't, or Andy won't let you have all the other delicious comfort food he and his wife have to offer. Tumaini Cottage was a restful haven pre- and post-safari, a place where we could stop and take in the warmth of Tanzania, a great deal of it provided not only by the effervescent sun but also by Andy and his lovely wife, who run Tumaini with great care and attention. The rooms are spacious, equipped with comfortable beds and a good bathroom, all very clean. The food, as mentioned before, was deliciously homemade, and gave one a sense of coziness and spicy memories (masala tea!). Although not within walking distance of Arusha (unless you want to roast under the African sun), trips can be arranged, and you'll have the pleasure of sharing some time with Steve, a quietly charming taxi driver/guide who will take you to and fro without worries. As for Andy and wife, and Tumaini Cottage itself, we can only be thankful they are there, ready to greet the next traveler, and we can be sure they will give them as much joy and comfort (both physical and mental) as they have kindly given us. Thank you Andy, and good luck!
