On Arrival the lovely Elizabeth showed me to my Room, and after a long flight I was in need of a cold beer. She apologised they did not have any and walked me to buy a beer from Preeva's bar next door. Preeva's bar being nothing more than a small shop with sporadic seats and benches outside. I spent the afternoon there and got to know all the locals. Returning daily thereafter and was made to feel really welcome.
Then came Bob....
Bob arrived in his old but reliable 4x4. He checked I was ok, had a beer and told me to relax and let him know if need anything. The next day he took me to town for ATM and we went to locals restaurant for lunch where we ate typical Tanzanian food. And in the Evening he took me to Mimi's Bar around the corner. The next day once he had taken all his Chidren to school, he took me to Materuni waterfall where i got to see how they make, and then tasted mountain grown Chaga Coffee. After he he took me to see his family's Chaga farm, where there are historical caves used by his ancestors to defend themselves from other tribes. A truly unique experience which you can only get with Bob. On the way back we picked up all 5 of his young adorable children from their schools and invited me to eat home cooked traditional food with Him.
Later he took me out again to another great locals Bar called Amuzz, where a member of his Reggae band was playing a Gig. Naturally he got up to sing a few songs and he was awsome. Bob Chewa The Legend, You can see him on Youtube. He a famous in Moshi. This year Bob has been invited to perform by the organisers of Nottinghill Carnival. I really hope he makes it there.
The following day was a public holiday, and children were off school. I suggested we all go to Chemka Hot Springs with Children. We all had a great adventure and the Children loved it having never been before.
Bob made me feel like a local and part of the family and I will never forget my Stay

Laid back family Hotel in Safe leafy suburb. Exceptional value for money.

We stayed for 12 nights at Kitolie House in Shanty Town. The swanky area is far enough from the city to get some peace and close enough for daily visits to Moshi. The manager Bob is friendly and pleasant and joyfully sings to Marley's reggae songs for most of the day, sometimes inviting his musician friends, creating a great Jamaican atmosphere (literally and figuratively). Internet connection is up to Tanzanian standards: intermittent and desperately slow, which helps to ease you into the pole pole (slowly slowly) local lifestyle.

Nice and chilled and great prices

Kitolie is a simple friendly place to stay just outside the centre of Moshi. The rooms are spacious and clean. Bob and his family are very helpful. It’s a perfect base for KCMC hospital. Really nice to be able to use the kitchen if you don’t fancy one of the lovely nearby restaurants. Looking forward to returning next year. 

Great place to base yourself 

I stay at Kitolie every time I come to Moshi. It is a place I feel at home. The rooms are comfortable, the location is quiet, and there is plenty of room to relax. Since I usually arrive here after a long day of traveling it is much appreciated.

One of my homes in this world...

I stayed at Kitolie for 6 weeks. We were really well looked after by Bob and his family. They were very accommodating for our group coming and going and having breakfast at different times. My room was simple but clean, and I had a hot shower. It was very homely for a long stay in Moshi, and very easy to get a ride into town when required. Free wifi is available in the communal sitting room. Thank you for a great stay!

Homely base in Moshi

It was fine... the atmosphere was ok.... the room was about average just as you'd expect from any sort of hotel... the beds were not great.... they were very uncomfortable... the food though... it was really good.
