I try my best to keep this guide up to date and I last refreshed it in June 2026. Did I miss a luxury hotel that should be on this list? Send me an email and let me know!

Missing a hotel on our list?

Do you know of a really luxurious hotel in Tanzania that's missing from this list?

Let me know!

In order to support the sites I work together with booking.com. Whenever someone finds a nice hotel and makes a reservation through one of the links here I get a small commission. Thanks!
