Enjoy a massage
Feeling tired? Or a bit lazy?
Time for a massage to relax and restore. Massage therapists Saada and Mami come to your room so you can enjoy the massage in a tranquil environment. Both massage therapists have had their training in Zanzibar, where they grew up.
Getting a massage when tired is common in our culture. The oil used by women, sourced from Zanzibar, is coconut oil with a fragrance of diwa and kifumbashi grass, smelling wonderful. Saada or Mami provide head and full-body massages.

Basecamp Changani in Tanzania is child-friendly, but it’s more of a relaxed beach and eco-resort rather than a kids’ entertainment-focused property. Children of all ages are welcome, and family rooms are available. The resort offers an outdoor pool, private beach access, and a children’s menu in the restaurant, which are convenient for families.
The property is not well equipped for visitors with mobility impairments or wheelchair users.
RECOMMENDED SAFARI
Saadani National Park is a unique safari park where wildlife meets the Indian Ocean.
The park lies north of Dar es Salaam, a 3-4-hour drive from the city, making it one of the most accessible wildlife experiences from the coast. Game drives take you through coastal savannah, riverine forest, and open woodland, home to lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos, and a wide variety of birdlife.
