Serengeti Villa, hotel in Usa River

Frank was a great host, the outdoor area with the dining table, fire pit and double bed swings were an awesome touch. Felt properly like a hostel but for people who want to have their own bedroom and en suite. The evening meal and breakfast were terrific too

Enjivai Hostel, hotel in Usa River

Situated in Arusha, 8.2 km from Old German Boma, Enjivai Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

I found the hostel via the price / map function since it was never actively using booking to get customers. This is really sad, because the house is worth to be found and I hope I can help others to find it. Relevant for me is the location (bus is close, in the green, no noise, here I have an amazing mountain-view), a breakfast that I can discuss how I want to have it and when I have a problem than I know they will help me. Since the building is as good as new (build not yet two years ago) and the wonderful woodwork is above from what I usually get in a hostel, the location is special and the people are friendly and help me with there connections whatever I desire I can live with a perfect rating what I normally never give .....

The place was fantastic, the staff and owner were really friendly, the attention was perfect, also they helped us a lot finding a bus heading to tanga at 6 am, which in the Arusha station could be really difficult for tourists at that time in the morning.

The staff was pleasant and helpful. Joseph has access to a broad network of local guides which is helpful especially if you’re on a budget. Do double check the travel information you get from him though like distances between villages and rural bus schedules. All in all lovely stay. The rooms are clean and shower is hot and decent.

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.

    My brother and I had perfect 2 days in Shamba Hostel. We were the only guest in the entire Hostel but breakfast and dinner were prepared with so much love and it was very tasty...thank you for these perfect dinners. Rooms were very clean with clean bathrooms on suite. No luxury at all, but everything there what you need. The host, his wife and the rest of the staff were very kind and friendly. They also took us for a short stroll through the nearby village. If I ever come to Arusha again, I will stay here. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

    Great location and sets you up well if you are going on safari. There are multiple types of birds everywhere and saw giraffes in the distance. Lucas and team were great.

    The food was well cooked and was near what we normally eat. Food was served on time. The lodging was modest and aged but clean. Owners were very pleasant and accommodating. Owners speak good English.. This Hostel should be visited when in that area of Tanzania.

    The hostel arranged the airport pick up which was great. Nice spacious rooms, hot water and wonderful food provided for dinner and breakfast. Lovely garden. Friendly staff. The hostel is also used for voluntary projects focusing on local development activities. Lovely walk nearby in the countryside and by the river.

    The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. No request is too little or too large. The lodge is very tastefully designed and the food is great. Great location just next to Arusha National Park.
