Entry for Tanzania: Citizens of East African Community partner states receive an entry pass free of charge on arrival, for a stay of up to six months.

The villas, in order for this stay
Villas ranked by their pool setting, Urugwiro first: the water, the terrace and the garden around it set the order.
First on this page, Urugwiro, a Kacyiru villa with terraces over the city, a pool and a barbecue in the gardens. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it. Urugwiro has a barbecue in the gardens of its 2,000 m² grounds.
Then Irebero: a hillside villa in the Rebero Hills with a pool and hot tub, a spa room, a private gym and a wine bar. At Irebero the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit beside the terrace dining area, on top of two full kitchens indoors. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it.
Then Amahoro: a gated villa in Kibagabaga with a private pool, the Red Room cinema and terraces that look across the hills. Amahoro's fire pit sits in a sunken lounge by the pool, lit after dark. At Amahoro the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit close to the fire pit, so dinner and the evening happen in one place. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it.
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
“We will be back, that is for sure. Rare to find a property that meets all your requirement but this is a pristine development with a lovely pool.”
