As far as Africa is concerned, I have stayed in worse, and I have stayed in far better. Like the other reviews, the towels are tiny. We had electricity 75% of the time, water 65% of the time, and hot water 45% of the time. Forget the wireless. It will be fixed tomorrow, if you know what I mean. The food is edible, unless you eat at the Green Bamboo, in which case the BBQ is excellent.

I have stayed at Uhuru during two visits to Moshi. Last time my comfortable room had a veranda with a fabulous view of Kilimanjaro. The compound is secure, the food is very good, especially at the new "Green Bamboo Barbecue". Breakfast is a basic buffet with eggs to order. The staff is very warm and friendly. New last year was wireless internet.

I will definitely stay here again.

They also arrange great safari adventures at a very reasonable cost. I have participated twice in Serengeti/Ngorongoro safaris arranged by Uhuru - both went great.

The renovations to Lutheran Uhuru Hotel have really enhanced Uhuru's already wonderful service and charm!

I moved here after 2 nights at the Kindoroko hotel in town which was in itself fine but had miniature rooms and was generally noisy. The Uhuru is about 1.5miles out of town which is a steady incline but perfectly mangeable. There have been some new rooms built within the last few years which are a very decent standard. The older rooms are still available and cheaper but certainly not as nice. The new building provides a balcony or terrace which looks over fields and Kili in the distance and is very relaxing. The grounds generally are very extensive and relaxing.

There has also been a new green bamboo barbecue restaurant built which attracts some of the more well heeled locals and various business types. It was a very pleasant place to eat being like a typical safari lodge. They do a vegetarian option too which was pleasant. Only down side would be the policy of no alcohol.

I expect I will return to Moshi in the future and I will plan to stay here.
