“Recommendation: Astonishing alternative green style”
I like the style with rooms constructed out of wood and aöö the plants everywhere on the premises very much. Also the Bar and the fireplace are amazing. Incredible food they have too. Everything was very clean and the stuff so lovely. The matraces were really good so I could sleep well. Everything is like the photos are showing.

“Amazing experience”
Amazing! This place is managed by Frank and his sister, which is well decorated by various plants and wooden furnitures. Full of African elements. All the staff are very friendly and optimistic. They provide delicious traditional Swahili meals for clients. The last day I left early for my international flight, they also offer me a breakfast box. Certainly I have fantastic experience in Serengeti Villa. Good choose for travelers coming to Arusha.

Cozy oasis of calmness in an otherwise busy city. Frank and his family are amazing hosts, very friendly and always willing to help.

“A peaceful oasis!”
Would highly recommend Serengeti Villa, it’s a little peaceful oasis in Arusha! The atmosphere is very friendly, staff are great, rooms were comfortable, there were even some very cute and friendly cats. Each night they have a bonfire and there’s a small bar. We joined for one dinner there which was delicious and vegetarian friendly. The accommodation is a bit of a walk to the centre of town, but it’s incredibly cheap and easy to get a Tuktuk in.
