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
