Mambo Hideaway, a property with a bar, is situated in Arusha, 7.5 km from Old German Boma, 8 km from Uhuru monument, as well as 9.2 km from Njiro Complex. This guest house features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

Mambo Hideaway is a delightful oasis with an outdoor bar and lovely garden. I stayed in the bungalow and it was spacious, comfortable and clean with a good shower. Aziz and Glorie were terrific hosts. Glorie lives on site, takes care of everything, makes a delicious, abundant breakfast and will go out of her way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. She even bought more fuel for the generator so I could access some important messages on wifi. Mambo Hideaway is a great value, run by warm and caring people and I'm very glad I stayed there.

We bookt Arusha holiday safari and this start lead us to the best experience. This was our life time experience so was okay to pay more fore better experience for private safari. The owner Lazaro of the tour Operator based in Arushs is a very nice Guy who will go to great length to ensure you are having a good time. We Liked the fact that one can book there directly locally; so the Money stays in the country. We booked a private Safari for a Family of four and chose the three day Tour to Tangarire, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara, four nights included. We could book already from Germany and pay in advance. With Benson we had a great driver guide who seemed to know every corner in the parks, made us get up early to be there in time for the animals and a bit earlier than the crowds. He was not only very knowledable but great fun to be with. We enjoyed the three days safari a lot. The food prepared by a Cook was great too. WE Had the Option to choose vegetarian. Safari: Most impressed by the elephants in Tangarire, a Cheetah chasing antilopes, lions eating a zebra, young male lions playing and hunting, a black Cobra and a baboon eating a baby dikdik. The two nights inbetween the three safari days we spent in Manyara Tented Lodge with great view and pool. We felt we got great value for our money. Tour Operator Lazaro also spend a dinner with us after the Safari to find out how it was and offered to drive us to our next destination Moshi. I wi recommend if you book this property make sure you dont miss this safari experience.☺️

We stayed here prior to our safari and we will stay here after our safari. Great place to stay in Arusha. We got there early and we didn't feel like hanging around the room. The concierge immediately helped us get an afternoon safari drive in Arusha National Park. We got back to the hotel late and had a nice dinner. I'm one of these weirdos who for health reasons can't eat salt. They made a special meal just for me. Got a great night sleep. The room is good. Had a nice breakfast the next morning and off we went. Definitely a nice place to stay. Thanks for everything.

    Very communicative host Walter, comfortable room, bed and bathroom. Quiet neighborhood, not to far from city centre. Walter helped me out with a lot of things, really takes care a you a his guest. Try to be in touch with Walter before going there , the place is a bit hard to find using only navigation. By phone he can explain best way to get there. Good value for money!

    We slept a total of 3 nights at Utamanduni Hous and were very impressed with the accommodation. The accommodation has 4 very nicely furnished rooms, one common room and a big garden. Chris is a great host and the staff are incredibly helpful. Traditional cooking was done for us in the evening. The breakfast with fresh fruits as well as jam and pancakes is excellent. The property also has a beautifully landscaped garden with a seating area around a campfire pit and a small outdoor bar.

    Really nice hostel in the heart of the city but in a quiet street and nice neighbourhood. The place is simple but does the trick, it's clean, free breakfast (eggs toast and fruits), comfortable and welcoming and cheap. The staff was very kind, Ibrahim the owner is very friendly and helping and also organises tours at the best prices in town making it an excellent base for many activities in the region!

    The place is perfect if you look for a quiet and relaxing stay in Arusha that you can spend in the very nice garden in the back yard. The hosts are very friendly and supportive with everything you need. Bus station and city center are in 5- to 10-minutes driving distance, a local street kitchen with nice food for little money is within 3 minutes walking distance. All in all highly recommended!

    Had a great time at Wakawaka. Room was awesome, very clean, comfy bed & good wifi over the property. Very secure and good location close to the clock tower but away from the main road so quiet at night. David was a great host sorting out airport pickup for me (recommend) and then info for my onward travels and making sure I was ok. The ladies serving breakfast were great as well and always so happy. Would recommend when staying in Arusha!

    I like to think of this place as a bed and breakfast or boutique hotel. It is a small cute hotel located off a dirt road about 15 - 20mins from Arusha Airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was cheap and nice. Location was in the middle of town with so many businesses nearby.

    Great location close to the city centre (the Booking.com location is accurate; Google Maps is outdated). Quiet area, comfortable flat with own kitchen, bathroom and living room. Swahiba is a great host, we are glad for having got to know him and supporting his business. Bed was comfortable and the fruit juice maker in the kitchen was a bonus! :)
