Arusha Holiday Safari

Pros: Quiet place, great food, good price! Hope is a great host

A good way to experience local culture

Pros: A super friendly host, he cooks nice local cuisine!

The hospitality exceeded my expectaion. We were sharing the house with Lazaro who cooked tasty meals

Pros: Great hospitality, quiet areas, and very affordable.

Cons: The location is a bit far from downtown area.

Great Homestay with very welcoming hosts

Pros: Very personal experience, my mom and I really felt at home. The location is beautiful and quiet, in the middle of Avocado and Banana trees while Arusha is still easily reachable within approx 15min by TukTuk. It’s not the typical hotel experience - you‘ll stay in the same house with Hope which naturally is his home and not a hotel but we highly appreciated exactly that. The food was good as well and we had a room with two single beds but he also has another one with a double bed available. Very comfy beds. Would definitely recommend for a more local and authentic experience!

Pros: Nowhere else like here, I felt part of a big Tanzanian family even for just a few days: everyone was incredibly welcoming and my stay was absolutely pleasant! Thank you, Arusha holiday safari, I will miss you all!!!

Amazing stay

Pros: Hope’s home is one of the best places I stayed trough out my traveling. Hope is a great host that makes sure all your needs are met. Beautiful quiet place that exceeded expectations.

Best of Arusha.

Pros: Hope and his co-hosts were absolutely amazing. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was the best I ate during my entire trip. It tasted better than some high priced hotels I stayed in. I will stay here again in future.

Incredible!

Pros: Lozaro, Hope and Robert were all incredible, the most hospitable people ever. They made us feel so welcomed and cooked incredible local food for us, we throughly enjoyed our stay and couldn’t recommend it enough! We look forward to coming back in the future!

Cons: .

Superb home stay experience and tour around the Arusha area

Pros: This is an authentic home stay experience and highly recommended. The house is very comfortable. It is set amongst banana and avocado trees, and you can wander down the little paths and find more houses, as part of the local community. Chickens wander around and the neighbours come to visit. Hope is a wonderful host. He cooked us local food and showed us how it was made. He took us to the local pre school, where we donated some books and pencils. We booked through Arusha holiday safaris. Lazaro has been wonderful helping construct a four day itinerary in Arusha and surrounds. Our guide was David who was similarly great. Very accommodating; very knowledgeable about the local area. He took us through markers, to local pubs, a Maasai village etc I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Cons: I was expecting a more urban setting but I am so glad Hope’s house was where it was. Far better than being in the centre of Arusha. Nothing not to like. Just be aware that the roads in are really bad and so take time to navigate. I was glad David did all the driving!!

Lovely home stay.

Pros: It was so lovely staying with Hope. His home is lovely and he is very welcoming. We met some of his family and explored his village whilst we were there. The location is nice and quiet.
