Situated in Arusha and only 2.6 km from Uhuru monument, Mazzola Safari House & Backpacking features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. The guest house provides garden views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk. I stayed at Mazzola for 4 nights with my 8-year-old daughter. It was a lovely place with a spacious living room & dining room and well-equipped kitchen with basic food supplies in stock. A short 15-minute tuktuk ride to town and you can easily use Bolt to get around. The host, mr. Innocent, was always on standby to help us with literally anything we needed, from arranging tours to national parks at fair prices to recommending places to eat or visit in Arusha town. He has gone beyond and above to make our trip to Arusha as fun and meaningful as possible. His professionalism and genuine care for the guests truely shone through, and thanks to him, our trip to Arusha will remain as one of the most memorable trips in TZ.

The guest house consists of 2 bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, and 1 bathroom with a hot tub and slippers. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and linens for a supplement. The accommodation is non-smoking. We absolutely loved our stay with Hope in his beautiful apartment. It was a rainy morning, so we enjoyed the coziness of space, washed laundry, had breakfast and lunch that he prepared for us, and then did some exploring of the neighborhood in the afternoon. You have to fall in love in this part of Arusha with tall banana trees everywhere and incredibly friendly locals. Hope took us to the airport the next morning so that we could catch our flight. It was a wonderful experience to be able to stay with him and being treated like a guest and a friend, all in one.
