The best accommodations Arusha

Amani Villa is nestled in the Kilimanjaro Golf and Wildlife Estate, a property planted with acacia trees and surrounded by sumptuous mountains and Maasai steppe. Decorated in safari style, the villa boasts 4 double rooms and 3 twin rooms overlooking the garden or pool, as well as a dining room. The villa is ideal for families or groups of friends, with a wide range of services for guests. In addition to 18-hole golf, the villa offers horseback riding, hiking in Arusha National Park, cycling and kayaking on Lake Duluti.

This hostel is close to the center of town, yet surrounded by greenery and calm. Its charm lies in its setting of lawns and fruit trees. The best deal is to sleep in a heavy safari tent, on cots with a comfortable mattress, at a low price, with shared showers (hot water). Other hard-standing options: dormitories with 4 to 8 beds (mixed) or double rooms with private bathrooms. Acceptable cleanliness, restaurant under a makuti shelter, chill-out areas under the trees. Great welcome from Simba and good breakfast. Wifi.

Simple, efficient and more than affordable, the Bright Star Hotel is the perfect address for those on a budget. A pretty, friendly pink house run by the warm-hearted Veronica. The rooms are pleasant and bright, with soft four-poster beds and mosquito netting, and clean en-suite bathrooms with hot water. What more could you ask for at this price? We appreciate the location in Sakina, very close to the center (5 minutes by dala dala from the road), the warm welcome from the staff and the excellent breakfast. Wifi.

This house converted into a youth hostel is very central without being in the middle of honking horns. The garden is very green and the space like an oasis of serenity in the city. Everything is beautiful and clean: the beds in the dormitories (mixed) are made of logs, the bedding is impeccably clean and really cosy, and the prices are really reasonable. The whole place is new and well kept. The breakfast restaurant is outside, facing the vegetation, which is very pleasant. An excellent address for small budgets. Wifi.

A beautiful house not too far from the center of town, carefully decorated and with a friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Ideal for chatting over a meal, or around the campfire. Small garden with swings, communal lounge, outdoor terrace for meals. The double rooms (with or without bathroom), family rooms and bandas bungalows have been designed with upcycling in mind, with pallet bed bases, local sisal carpets and a pleasantly studied decor. Small structure, excellent breakfast. Wifi. Bicycle rental.
