“Don't miss this place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at Boundary for 2 nights during a 6 day safari arranged by EASTCO.
This place was an absolute dream. We had a fabulous room with almost 180 degree view over the conservation area. The terrace was vast with the obligatory outside bathtub….even a loo with a view.
The dining terrace was charming, the guys lit a fire in the evenings to add to the ambience and all the staff were wonderful once they relaxed into our style of travelling.
Tangire is a wonderful park and a completely different experence to other parks that we visited.
This is one of the most wonderful places that I have ever stayed. Go there!

“More than Excellent Boundary Hill and Naitolia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

These two lodges and camps were excellent places to visit, stay and relax at, after our safari.
The rooms at Boundary Hill are world class, spaced apart for privacy and well designed with the best views from a lodge I have stayed in.
Some of the rooms have downstairs toilets and showers with gigantic windows overlooking Tarangire.
Fantastic.
The food was tasty and plenty, the staff friendly and helpful.Moses was a great friend as were all the staff all in all a firstt class experience. The road to Boundary Hill is a little rough but so are many others in Tanzania.
I wouldn't let a rough road put you off what is really 5 star and more accomodation.
Naitolia also owned by the same company East African Safari and Touring Company is also well worth a visit with Thatch roofs and canvas walls.
Really large beds and the staff and food excellent.
The ambience of both these places, mainly because of their size (small) are really something.On any visit to Tarangire I would suggest you stay at both these places. Walk to the sand river and see the elephants, amazing.
These two properties are 5 star and well worth staying at.

Room Tip: All the rooms are great. If you have a family try the family room with enormous verandah.

“An Excellent Logde for many reasons”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

people found this review helpful

While on safari recently I stayed at this lodge for three nights. I found the views to die for, the food more than excellent and the staff and Maasai watchman friendly and everybody was sooo willing to please.
If you are on safari and are visiting Tarangire this is an exellent stop. We travelled with Eastco who were excellent in the extreme and deserve 5 stars. You should do the night game drive, visit the local Maasai village definately worth it not a tourist trap in any way and go on a morning walk. All these activities were no extra charge. All in all a great well run lodge with excellent views.

“Depends what you're after - and what room you get”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for two nights after reading good reviews here. We can see why it gets such praise but it wasn't quite what my wife was after. As has been said, the views are stunning, it's ultra peaceful with less than a dozen rooms and it is a partnership with the local Maasai people. However, the rooms are powered by solar power, meaning that we had no hot water (only lukewarm showers) and no battery charging during the cloudy days we were there. This is fatal for photographers like us unless you are packing serious backup batteries. People say the rooms are well equipped but ours seemed a little sparse, with an un-closable bathroom window, not enough artificial light for night time, no tissue box and nowhere to hang clothes. Our roof made loud noises whenever there was a gust of wind, which was quite often given that the lodge is on the top of a hill.

The food was decent, and nice that they catered to personal needs.

The road to the lodge is long, bumpy and not well signposted (our experienced driver missed it and we arrived late as a result).

It's nice if you like seclusion, eco-friendly living and a personal touch. If you're particular about creature comforts and functionality you'd be better off somewhere else.

“Boundary Hill and Naitolia the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

As the previous reviewer said Boundary Hill is indeed located in a beautiful setting with views to die for.We stayed in room 2 and couldnt have been more satisfied. It was spotless, with a giant bed, giant room and the bathroom downstairs had beautiful views over the plains. You could actually see animals while showering. The rooms are spaced apart for privacy and this enhanced the experience,epecially after staying at the Crater.
I would forget the road. This is Africa afterall and I didnt come for the tarmac. The road wasnt all that bad but the lodge and staff more than make up for it.The lodge is owned half by the Maasai community and is a great initiative for Tanzanian tourism.
Naitolia its sister camp was also fantastic Grass roofed bandas, animals everywhere.
In both camps we had excellent food and the service was above and beyond. Everybody so nice.
These two camps we visited while on Safari with East African Safari and Touring Company and I would higjly suggest you contact Simon for a great trip and stay at these two camps at Tarangire for an unforgettable experience. Don't forget the walks and night game drives. This is the place to have them.

Room Tip: Room 2 bath on the verandah, fantastic view and everything else.
