The Retreat Hotel
My Safari
The Retreat is a private boutique hotel situated away from the hubbub of the city, 10km north of Dar es Salaam and only half an hour’s drive from the city centre and the airport. It is furnished throughout with African art and Zanzibari antiques. This hotel blends the comfort of international style with the romance of colonial Africa.
The Retreat has 6 rooms facing the sea with 4-poster beds and bath tubs big enough for two.
Start your day with breakfast on the veranda overlooking the beautiful sparkling Indian Ocean. End your day with sumptuous romantic candlelit dinners in the evening including fine wines, fresh baked bread, fresh fish caught locally and vegetables from nearby gardens.
If you have a few days to spare here, take a trip to Bagamoyo, or a city tour of Dar es Salaam. You could opt for a sailing trip on a catamaran, dives on nearby islands or water-skiing behind the hotel’s own speedboat.
