This is my first time writing a review even though we travel a lot. This is because when I was looking for information myself, it was not enough for me (I will try to describe my emotion and my personal opinion about the rest.

1) flydubai - never again and will be away from them for a long time...


2) Hotel - when we booked hotels in September, the desires were completely different, but unfortunately, all these hotels were already on the foot!! ! The beach was essential Nungwi, Kendwa already as a fallback. When we had already broken through all sorts of options, we stumbled upon Langi, there was no time to think much - we had already booked what was already ...Garden view category room. It takes about 1.5 hours to get to the hotel (I don’t know how the reviews wrote 30-40 minutes, even without traffic jams in the early morning we got to 1.20). We arrived at the beginning of the tenth, handed over gifts (chocolate - New Year's sweets), the room was still being prepared and we went to look for something to eat (note from 10.00 to 12-12.
30 you will not be fed anywhere - their kitchen is not working at this time).

The room was ready by 12...I was preparing for the worst, but it exceeded all our expectations, I am pt. I was worried not to be on the first floor, because I was not a fan of all the living creatures (rabbits, guinea fowl, antelopes and LIZARDS) that lived there))) And we got the second floor with a huge terrace in palm trees, where we could sit out in the cool the peak of the heat with a glass of chilled wine. The room is quite large (112), a huge four-poster bed, all kinds of couches, a cabinet for a suitcase, a dressing table with a mirror, a mini fridge - perfectly working, a sofa with a table on the terrace ...At the reception they gave out an adapter and a hairdryer on request ...

In general, the guys at the reception and in the restaurant are very good. great, always willing to help.
Then we went and looked at the hotels that were a priority for us, and we are glad that some did not work out) Breakfasts are basic on the menu - various omelettes and eggs, pancakes, fruits - there were no restrictions ...

3) Excursions - we booked a 2-day safari with Alice in advance, $ 800 per person - she had the most adequate price tag for the parks that we really wanted to get to ...Terengire is an elephant paradise))) Ngorongoro - it’s impossible to convey, not only for animals, but also for beauty - it's magical!! ! Photos are like pictures ...We saw the five ...Also, through Alice, we went to stone town, the disappearing island and the island of turtles ...I also liked everything - especially the picnic on the disappearing island - a lot of seafood)! Johnson is a super guide! ! ))

4) Nutrition - who are these people who advise Barakka? After reading the reviews on the second evening, we went there (the first was NG and we celebrated it in the hotel restaurant - we liked everything).

We waited for our dishes for 1 hour 40 minutes - and we were one of the first to come for dinner, while we were waiting - next to us there were at least 2 tables dissatisfied with what they brought - they swore ...Yes, and we didn’t really like it - and hunger didn't save))) Mama Mia - good pizza, but not always))) Coco boar - huge burgers. But we found the unsightly Blue Ocean for ourselves - in front of Coco Cabana. Everything is very tasty and very reasonably priced...Seafood mix is ​ ​ my favorite (squid, octopus and fish, you can choose different fish each time) - very tasty. Seafood soup - it's not on the menu - but it's there))) just great. We made friends with the waitress Zulfa (who will say hello from Alla and Andrey))) and we were ALWAYS waiting for a table in the evening on the first line without reservation, the portions were even larger and personal Wi-Fi)))

5) Souvenirs were bought in the village - cheaper than in stone town, you just need to bargain. Fruit how to get out of the hotel towards the square (not towards the beach).
You need to cross the square with a good exchange rate - it's better there than at the airport, don't change near the hotel - it's quite low there. Take dollars ONLY of a new sample - they do not take old ones (! ), or well, at a VERY small rate - the smaller the bill - the lower the rate ...The alcohol store behind Soso Сabana is the most expensive, go to the right from it and there will be two opposite each other with a lower price tag - haggle ...

Tried to convey as much information as possible...

Africa conquered me and I wish you the same)) Hakuna Matata! !
