"Excellent Arusha base"
But it's more than just convenient: it's in a lovely, quiet spot; the rooms are spacious and spotless, and the bathroom boasts an impressive shower; and there's an elegant swimming pool to while away an afternoon after a superb lunch on the patio.
Service was warm and friendly. Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania
