My Partner and I likes travelling and experiencing culture difference, see new places etc, while traveling locally and abroad, we came with an idea why shouldn't we do something for the people who visit Dar either for short stay or a long stay, who would wish to stay and experience and see typical Swahili life on how people they live, that's what drove us on finding this location and develop our Accommodation Facility
