"Great Location!"
1 night Arrived 12 Jun 2022
"Only a short drive from Arusha Airport. We stayed one night on the final day of our trip and enjoyed the calm atmosphere of Katambuga House before heading out.
It was nice of them to let us stay in the room additional time as we had a late flight, and we even tried out the pool despite the cool temperature." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Located off the beaten track but only 10 minutes drive from Arusha airport.
Staff really friendly and helpful. We arrived after 10pm from Kilimanjaro and there was a lovely vegetarian meal waiting for us.
Great for the start or end of a safari." See all these reviews: 16n in Tanzania

"Excellent Arusha base"
1 night Arrived 16 Feb 2020
"Katambuga House is a stone's throw from Arusha airport, so an ideal place to overnight before an early flight.
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
