We loved our stay in Serengeti villa, Frank was really nice and assisted us with everything we needed. We wanted to extend another day here but it was fully booked, so Frank helped us with another booking in a sister hotel and even arranged for our bags to be delivered there fuss free. He also arranged for our transport back to Nairobi at no extra cost. The rooms were clean and comfy too :)

Home away from home! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, clean, with very high pressured showers. Such a treat! The food is pretty good, nice variety of coffee drinks in the morning and a great space in the back with a clean swing outside and quiet very private yard. Also they organize us excursions to materuni waterfall and hot springs for half price than we got from many tour operators around there, they work Parfect and professional

Everything was perfect! The Serengeti Home is very clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, giving a real feeling of home away from home. The location is peaceful but still close to the city center. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. We especially loved the cozy atmosphere and the attention to detail in every corner. Staying here made our time in Arusha even more special – we truly felt like part of the family

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
