Located within 6.4 km of Old German Boma and 6.9 km of Uhuru monument in Arusha, Blue elephant villas provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Agnes is an excellent host, she will do her best to solve any problems you might have and give advices. She even allowed me to stay in the room after checkout for free since the room was available and I needed to rest. Breakfast and dinner were really tasty, also it feels like being in a family rather than in a guest house, especially when we all had dinner together in the evenings! I recommend this place! Thanks again

Serengeti Villa has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Arusha. Offering a bar, the property is located within 2.7 km of Old German Boma. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

Everything 😍 Anthony is professional and manages the accommodation like a 5 star resort. So much thought was put into place to make every guest feel comfortable. Beautiful landscaped gardens. Chill outside areas. Breakfast lapa and bonfire pit completes the outside area. The bedroom is spacious, good beds, good pillows and great linen. The furniture is made from crates but is so tastefully done and the traditional décor adds to the finishing touches. I took a video of the bedroom and bathroom. It was much better than the pictures on the booking site.

With garden views, Kutoka Lodge is located in Arusha and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, terrace and children's playground. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

A unique, quiet and cozy hotel surrounded by a beautiful garden. I recommend to all those who have an Arusha - Serengeti route. 20min to the airport in Aruszy and the comfort of relaxation much larger than in hotels in the city. Beautiful climatic rooms and a restaurant. And the food really high class. At this price, this was an improving hotel in which we were in this area.

We also loved meeting Simba and Zazu, the sweet dogs they have at the house. Many nice touches and beautiful decor.
