Located within 4.8 km of Njiro Complex and 6.8 km of Old German Boma in Arusha, Safari villa provides accommodation with seating area. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and a sun terrace. The homestay features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We have just left Arusha after a short but extremely fulfilling stay at Safari Villa. Prior to our 36 hour visit we had great communication with George. We were met from our late night flight at the airport, warmly greeted at the Villa and shown to our immaculately clean room. Food was great and hospitality exceptional. Brian (brother of George) spent the day with us guiding us to various sites in Arusha. Following this we were invited to share in a Communion celebration for George’s daughter. Two of our group participated, dined on the rooftop of a lovely hotel with George’s family and friends, witnessed the love and affection shown toward the beautifully dressed daughter. Two of our group stayed back and enjoyed a home cooked Swahili meal and the warmth of an evening campfire. Arusha was great! The hospitality and experiences provided by the host family of the Safari Villa went above and beyond our expectations. It was a rich and rewarding experience.

He's great company. Thanks again. We had nice talk and laughs all together. The accommodation is really pleasant, the kitchen is continuously accessible. The dog is really kind. It feels like home.

There was everything we needed, tea/coffee set, delicious dinner a d breakfast, nice pool and wonderful staff. They have free transfer to the airport, it is around 7 mins by car

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Simba Villa is located in Arusha. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

The homestay is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The homestay offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

Guests at the homestay can enjoy a continental breakfast. The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.
