Hondo Hondo Tented Camp offers six Forest ensuite tented rooms situated along or overlooking the forest boundary and providing a comfortable accommodation experience. With these rooms offering good facilities and great forest views, you can be sure of getting a good nights sleep and enjoying the relaxation of your stay in the surrounding shambaland and forest.
Each is well equipped, with all furniture made from locally available renewable sources such as coconut wood and bamboo.
All beds boast comfortable spring mattresses and feather pillows, and the soft throws over the beds are made by the local Ifakara Women Weavers group, who are one of the lodge's community support projects.
The open-air bathrooms and secluded verandas offer views up into the nearby forest canopy while you shower, and are equipped with western-style flush toilets. huge solar hot water "rain" showers, sink and shaver socket.
All our hot water is heated using solar energy alone, and as a back up (in case of heavy rains and little sun) we use elevated bucket showers. Electric lighting is provided through the camp with low-energy LED bulbs, and each tent is equipped with lighting, personal solar reading lights and a socket for charging phones, cameras and so on.
These comfortable and well appointed canvas rooms make an excellent change from the usual range of places to stay, and as you fall asleep you can listen to the sound of elephants passing by in the night, or bushbabies calling in the trees.
