It was very easy to communicate with Nitimana, the host of Shamba. He welcomed us warmly on arrival day. All the meals were wholesome and abundant, the most delicious we had in East Africa. 6 of us occupied 3 private ensuite rooms and all 3 rooms were well maintained and very clean. & comfortable. Showers were hot and have good water pressure. We like the green spaces around us - Nitimana's garden was such a grear place to chill l & observe some wildlife as it is near the river.. We engaged a walking tour through Nitiama and had a great time with Rugati, our walking guide. It was very interesting & enjoyable to experience Arusha's local atmosphere with Rugati by walking and taking a public bus to local markets. We bought delicious local fruits at the market. Shamba hostel provides a very authentic interaction with local Tanzanians & insight into their lives. We highly recommend at least a couple of nights at Shamba hostel when l you come to Arusha.

This is our second review as we stayed at the property two times. We loved our stay and wish we had an extra day or two to explore the farm and village more!

We had a great time at Savannah House!
We arrived in the late evening after landing at JRO. We spent there just one night before embarking on a safari in Serengeti.
We were given two beautiful rooms - they were of great size and very comfortable. The rooms had a universal power plug --- a very thoughtful for international travelers.
The bathroom was sizeable, the internet worked very well.
The owners prepared a REALLY delicious dinner for us. The dining room was very stylish, and the meal was awesome! Breakfast was really good as well.

We really liked Serengeti Villa, it is a great alternative to staying (too) close to the city center. The villa is very self-contained so you don't need to get out often if you don't want to and it is very safari-oriented as people often depart for safari from there, and come back. The Swahili food they serve is absolutely amazing and the staff very kind! The rooms are well furnished and decorated in the Maasai style, the bedding is also great and extra blankets are provided just in case.

The hospitality and kindness of the staff makes you feel at home right away. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. It's like finding a little special oasis. Anthony went beyond all our expectations to make us feel like home and help us organize our safari and Mt. Meru trip. The Serengeti villa is gorgeous too!

Ligia and Joshua were wonderful hosts. It was like staying with friends. The house was clean; bedroom spacious and comfortable; breakfast of fresh fruits, toast with fresh tomatoes, hard boiled eggs and onions was good; great pets - two lovely African village dogs, Kes and Kira; within 1 km of downtown Arusha. I would be glad to stay here again.

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
Very nice hostel. Located in a nice village very close to kilimanjaro airport. Staff was lovely and dinner was included and it was very good.
Thank you!
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.
