Giraffe Beach Hotel

Giraffe Beach Hotel is a roughly 95-room three-star hotel at Plot 169 on Jangwani Beach, north of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, about a 3-minute drive from Mbezi Beach. The northern beach strip is a residential coastal district away from the city centre, and the hotel offers a beach setting with direct beach access, which suits visitors who want sea air and a quieter atmosphere than the central business district. The property has a mid-range character, aimed at families, groups and weekend visitors. Room types include Standard Rooms, Sea View Rooms and Suites, with rates of roughly 156,000-234,000 TZS ($60-90) per night. Amenities include an outdoor pool, beach access, a breakfast buffet, a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and free wifi. The restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks on site, and the breakfast buffet is the main morning meal. The pool and beach access give guests two options for relaxing, and Sea View Rooms add an ocean outlook. Service is straightforward and leisure-oriented, with a relaxed pace typical of the northern beach hotels. The city centre, ferry terminal and Msasani Peninsula are a long drive away in traffic, so the hotel suits visitors who prefer to spend time on the coast rather than sightsee each day. Neighbouring Mbezi Beach has additional restaurants and resorts reachable within minutes. As with other northern beaches, swimming depends on the tide, and the hotel pool is a dependable alternative. For visitors seeking a mid-priced beachside hotel on Jangwani Beach with a pool and breakfast buffet, Giraffe Beach Hotel is a practical option in Dar es Salaam.
