Wild Fig Tree Luxury Villa on a wildlife golf
Beautiful house, very pleasant to stay in thanks to its large spaces and brightness. You feel like you're in harmony with nature. Everything is in place for an idyllic stay in Arusha. You can alternate peaceful and literary days by the pool or discover the surrounding places. Excellent starting point for activities: Arusha park, Chemka hot spring, local markets… The staff is caring and attentive to needs. Excellent!

Tiny house with amazing view
We loved everything about Tiny Home. The house even exceeded our expectations! The location was so serene and peaceful. The house was clean and very cozy. The view of Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro made it even better for us. The weather was perfect! Our main highlight was Daniella who was very friendly and helpful! She was always helping us with any queries and quick actions that we needed. The house is close to Arusha town where we enjoyed very nice restaurants and lovely ambience. Highly recommend butter and scotch at Sable Square. We will definitely be back to enjoy the house again. We even extended our stay by a day. Thanks Sarah for being a responsive host!

Forest Cottage by the water
Forest, nature, a place built by hand with love and wisdom... Two different species of monkeys foraging in the tress above on the same tree as Hornbills.. this place is piece of magic. The perfect spot for meditation, writing, relaxing... letting nature heal you. One of my favorite Airbnb's of all time!

Sunbird-Cottage-Mt. Meru
What a fantastic place nestled on the foothills of Mount Meru, perched on a hilltop, and surrounded by lush vegetation. Julian was a great and welcoming host. The fireplace made the place extra cozy.

The Garden Home
My stay at The Garden Home in Arusha was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, Beryl the super host made me feel so welcome. She was always just a message away, giving directions and checking in to make sure I was comfortable. That kind of genuine care isn’t easy to find. The home itself was peaceful and calming, surrounded by birdsong, fresh air, and the scent of herbs from the garden. I found myself making tea every morning with lemongrass and rosemary I picked myself. Little rituals like that made this place feel so special. The room was exactly as shown in the photos. Clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. No filters needed. And let me not forget Sophy, the housekeeper, who made me the best pilau I’ve ever had. Truly unforgettable. If you’re ever in Arusha and looking for a place that feels warm, grounding, and real this is it. I can’t wait to come back.

The River Villa | Situated In A Lush Garden
Thank you so much, Petronila and Adam, for welcoming us so warmly. The house is lovely—comfortable, spacious, and beautifully furnished. The garden is large and lush, which we enjoyed to the fullest around the bonfire, BBQ, and Easter egg hunt, much to the delight of the kids (who also loved the big trampoline!). We truly appreciated your availability and, above all, your great advice for outings. Un grand merci 🙏🏼

Sayari Villas
**An Unforgettable Stay with Exceptional Hospitality!** From the moment we arrived, Veronica made us feel right at home. Her warmth and attention to detail truly set this Airbnb experience apart. The house itself is even more charming in person, spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The little touches, like indoor grown plants, a welcome note, made us feel so valued as guests.

Get Close to Nature - Bushbaby Cottage
Bushbaby Cottage is the ideal place if you're looking for peace and quiet after visiting busy Arusha and going on safari. The beautiful garden is perfect for relaxing with a book. You can easily take a walk around the property and spot zebras, elands, and wildebeest. And there are also various activities that can be arranged directly from Bushbaby Cottage. Thank you, Lesley!

Serene Cabin
Glory was very responsive, kind and helpful in every regard. Her place was perfect for our family and the location was ideal for our flight from Arusha the following morning.

Amora Villa
We were initially worried because the house is a bit far from the city center, but we’re so glad we chose this place. It’s truly a luxurious and clean neighborhood, full of greenery! We felt just like we were in our own home. Check-in was very easy. The house was clean. There were bicycles available, and there was a large supermarket within walking distance. If I ever come back to Arusha, I would definitely stay in this house again. Thank you!

olive Town Apartment
Careens place was perfect for our late night stay! Our flight was significantly delayed and she still worked with us to allow us into the building in the middle of the night. It’s in the perfect location of Arusha and is next to a great coffee shop.

Stylish private wildlife retreat | Mountain View’s
We've just spent 3 nights at Wildlife House and had a wonderful experience. From the minute we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Evaresti, the manager, and Sospeter, the caretaker. Sospeter was especially helpful in getting us situated, and ready to help with all our needs. We hired Chef Arnold for two days and enjoyed the wonderful meals prepared in the traditional Swahili way. The setting is perfect, with an equestrian facility located 5 minutes walking distance away. We rode horses throughout the property and rode among the herds of wildebeest, zebras, elands, impalas and gazelles. It was magical. The pool was so refreshing after the ride and walking around the property was great and very safe. It's a unique place to be and we had a 5 star experience.

Serenita Homes Arusha City Centre
Very nice, clean, modern and cozy apartment. Looks just like the pictures. Secure & Safe area - you have your own private gate/entrance into a private courtyard. Walking distance to cafes, KFC & restaurants (literally a 3-5 min walk). Irene was very friendly and responsive - lovely host! She responded to our needs and requests promptly. I would recommend this place and I’d stay here again.
