The neighbourhood is a really great experience. Lovely community and people. The food and hot water were great. Managed to do my laundry for me. When I said I wanted a hair cut, a young man walked me to a local barber which was very kind.

Humphrey, the manager, was wonderful. He picked me up from Arusha airport. He purchased my shuttle bus ticket to Nairobi and he dropped me off for the bus. The room was clean and neat

“Budget friendly, Lovely hosts”
Budget friendly accommodation at Arusha . Host Humphrey and Chef Rajabu were very accommodating and kind to us. Humphrey personally came to drop us at the Arusha airport for our early morning flight and also arranged few local transfers . Chef Rajabu was kind enough to take note of my kid's eating preferences.

“Great value for money!”
Great hotel, amazing value for money. The staff was very friendly and willing to accommodate us. I had a problem with my backpack and they immediately helped me. I thank them for that so much! The breakfast was very nice, simple but we were very full after. The room was clean and the bathroom quite spacious. The mattress was comfortable and there were no mosquitoes in the room. The driver took us to the airport and was very nice along the way.

“Great breakfast, comfortable room, perfect host”
The host is a perfect gentleman and couldn’t do enough to help. The breakfast was lovely and the room comfortable. The drive off the main road has you wondering about your choice, but fear not, Giraffe Lodge is an oasis. The local sounds around of kids playing, leaves you feeling like you are part of the village.

“It's not bad, but there's room for potential”
Although we called at the last minute, a driver came to take us from Arusha Airport. The cost is very low, and not far from the airport. All the staff was kind and smiley. The food is delicious!!
