Dar es Salaam
Triniti offers informal lodge-like accommodation in detached wooden bungalows set in a mature garden. While rooms are small, they are painted spotlessly white and are decorated with local artworks and colourful furnishings. Breakfast is a communal affair with homebaked doughnuts, fruit and eggs to order. On Friday night the bar hosts a live band and DJ.
The same management also offers long-term accommodation (from US$900 per month for a room with small kitchen).
