Springlands Hotel

Springlands Hotel in Moshi is the perfect spot to kick off a safari adventure! Located in a charming town with lively markets and amazing views of Kilimanjaro, it’s got everything to make you feel right at home. I love starting her, the poolside is super relaxing, massage services are a treat, and the food schedule is set up to fit all kinds of arrivals. Plus, it’s a convenient distance from the airport, so you can settle in comfortably before the safari fun begins. It’s the ultimate starting point for an unforgettable journey!

This is a very comfortable hotel, with a decent buffet, bar, pool and gift shop. Lots of staff to help with all needs, either before or after your hike of Kilimanjaro, or safari. We spent a night before and after our hike and we’re well served staying here

Massive scammers paid $80 USD per night, I was put in a room to share with 3 others. No room for your bag shower didn’t work just had to was under a tap, no hot water. Room for $320 per night was appalling more like a hostel. To share with people I don’t know just from the group. Left one morning to go out for breakfast found out at end of my stay breakfast was included but no one told me. Was told one dinner was included as the others in my room didn’t pay but they made me pay and said it wasn’t yet we all paid the same. Tried to got to town one evening for a coffee the guard wouldn’t let us leave I had to speak to reception to tell them finally agreed to let me out. They said you are not going into town for dinner are you? They did not want you to leave as dinner outside was a choice off a menu and less than half the price of the dinner provided ( without choice) in the hotel When hiring gear they tried to charge you for a black plastic bag to line your duffle bag you already paid for which was supposed to be waterproof, equipment was broken

I stayed at Springlands for 5 days total before and after my Kilimanjaro hike and safari. It was the perfect home base! The staff is incredible and consistently went above & beyond. It was a community feel where they quickly learn your name and make sure you are having the best possible experience. When I had free days, they booked me fantastic last minute day tours. They also extended my checkout on my last day to accommodate my late flight. The premises are beautiful with well kept gardens, a coffee bar, a bar, and a cool pool that is perfect for relaxation between activities. The restaurant was a buffet-style cafeteria. The food was a little repetitive from day to day, but tasty and had good variety. They also would seat travelers together, so it was a great space to meet other travelers and trade stories/ tips about travel activities. The rooms are very simple. It reminded me more of a private room at a hostel than a hotel. So if you were looking for a luxurious hotel holiday feel, this may not be the best fit. But it was clean, spacious enough for all of my luggage, had hot water, and the bed was very comfortable. The room has G type electrical sockets. There is no wifi in most of the rooms, but it's widely available in all of the common areas (with decent speed to both upload and download videos/ music). As a solo female traveler, safety was a primary concern for me. This hotel is fully secured. It is fenced in and has guards 24/7. The staff also went out of their way to ensure safety. They kept track of when I left for tours or went into the city and when I returned, which made me feel extra safe. The town of Moshi itself also felt very safe. It's a 20 minute walk or the hotel will arrange a shuttle. The first time I went, the hotel arranged for a guide, which I highly recommend. It was a great way to learn about the city and get my bearings. The second time I went, I walked into town alone in the middle of the day. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. You don't see many tourists around so I did stand out and got quite a bit of attention. But everyone was happy to say hello and welcome me to their beautiful country. The town is bustling and busy at all times of the day. There is no ATM at the hotel, so do your research about what cash you will need before coming to Tanzania (especially how much you will likely need to tip for Kili/ safaries/ hotels). If you need money, one of the hotel drivers can bring you to a bank in town. The hotel itself accepts credit card for all services. The hotel also offers laundry services, using per-item pricing. So you can wash clothes between tours (it took only a few hours). Very grateful that I stayed at Springlands. 10/10 would recommend.

I arranged a Kilimanjaro trek and safari with Zara Tanzania Adventure and stayed for 4 nights at Springlands. My stay was very satisfying. The food was tasty and plentiful, with buffet options for breakfast and dinner, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, spacious, and perfect for resting before and after the climb. The facilities also included a small shop, equipment rental, and a large swimming pool. I highly recommend Zara Tanzania Adventure and Springlands Hotel to anyone planning a Kilimanjaro climb
