    What a fantastic location! And fantastic staff. We had dinner here on both nights and both were exceptionally good. Compliments to the chefs. During our stay we explored Arusha NP (only a 30mins drive and did a walking safari.

Stay in luxurious tents overlooking the Usa river. The 3-tent camp is set on a stunning riverfront full of large fig trees frequently visited by monkeys. The area is home to over 400 species of birds. Mount Meru looms large in the background on cloudless days. The camp can be booked as a whole or each tent can be booked separately. You will find here a perfect place to wind down in the midst of nature.
We're excited to offer you an escape from the hustle-and-bustle of city life and to help you immerse yourself in nature. Our location is developed by nature-lovers, for those nature-lovers. The hosts are passionate about everything sustainable and harmonious, about local culture, arts & crafts and about hospitality - both long-standing best practices and current trends. Our team loves to share knowledge, create memorable experiences for our guests and build relationships. At our camp, we strive for a professional, collaborative and supportive environment. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay – we're here to make sure you have an unforgettable trip!
The camp is located on Dolly, a large residential estate located a 10-minute drive from the village of Usa River, between Arusha Airport and Kilimanjaro Airport). The estate houses abundant small game, such a gazelle, antelope, zebra, wildebeest, monitor lizards and monkeys. Next door, our organic farm produces sustainable vegetables, fruit and herbs and houses animals such as friendly dogs, long horn cows, horses, chickens and turkeys. There is a polo club close by, horseback riding can be arranged and Kiligolf (18 hole-course) is located in the vicinity. Dolly Estate is a great starting point for safaris, hikes, farmwalks, cultural daytrips and mountain climbing.
