The accommodation was very good for our long-term stay at Arusha. George and the staff were absolutely supportive and friendly. The service was perfect and the food also very local, fresh and delicious. Even when we had health problems George was available anytime and was driving us even to the hospital and managed everything. Without him it would have been very difficult. He also arranged our trips for sightseeing and the safari. To conclude it was a beautiful experience to stay at the Safari Villa and we will miss George and the staff.

I had an amazing time during my stay with Innocent and his helper Batistar. They were both incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make me feel at home. Breakfast was perfectly arranged every morning. The place is a kind of guesthouse where other bikepackers stay as well, offering a unique opportunity to meet new people and share stories. Innocent even took me on a tour around Arusha, giving me a chance to experience the city from a local perspective.

We had a fantastic time. The family were very welcoming. The location is an oasis amongst the noise and it had all the creature comforts we wanted. We came back three times as we loved it so much. The garden is a joy to walk around and the pool is a good size. Myself and my daughter were very happy with are stay and have recommended it to our family for future visits.

This place is yet to be discovered and get the recognition it deserves. The location is not very great, but you forget that fact soon as you enter the compound because it is quite beautiful, with amazing customer service. The design of the property is simple, modern and elegant with a mini-pool to boot. I loved the mezzanine design (which reminds me of Heritage Collection Skylight in Singapore :) and the well thought out interior, including a mini-bar fashioned dining area, well furnished kitchen, a huge smart tv infront of a comfortable couch. The staff were also super helpful and went out of their way to make you comfortable.

It was a very nice stay. The house is quite central and a very homy get away in the middle of town. Gerald is a very friendly and uncomplicated host with a great taste of indoor design! The breakfast was great, lots of fruit, fresh juice and eggs. Loved it!

The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.
