I stayed here for two nights while travelling solo in Tanzania and felt super safe and comfortable the whole time. You can tell right away that this is a very new hostel – everything is freshly renovated, clean, and not worn out at all, which makes it easy to feel at home. The location is great too: not far from the main road, so it’s quick and easy to get around with boda-bodas, the local motorbike taxis, or tuk tuks. Communication with the team was smooth and uncomplicated, and everything worked out perfectly. I would definitely come back and can highly recommend this place to other travellers!

Everything was perfect! The Serengeti Home is very clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, giving a real feeling of home away from home. The location is peaceful but still close to the city center. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. We especially loved the cozy atmosphere and the attention to detail in every corner. Staying here made our time in Arusha even more special – we truly felt like part of the family

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.
