Lots of little details taken care of. Food was incredible (both the included breakfast and the supplemental dinner). A real communal atmosphere, and very close to the center of town (quick Bolt ride of 5-10 min). Everything was beyond my expectations!

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.
