Wild Fig Tree Luxury Villa on a wildlife golf
Beautiful house, very pleasant to stay in thanks to its large spaces and brightness. You feel like you're in harmony with nature. Everything is in place for an idyllic stay in Arusha. You can alternate peaceful and literary days by the pool or discover the surrounding places. Excellent starting point for activities: Arusha park, Chemka hot spring, local markets… The staff is caring and attentive to needs. Excellent!

Forest Cottage by the water
Forest, nature, a place built by hand with love and wisdom... Two different species of monkeys foraging in the tress above on the same tree as Hornbills.. this place is piece of magic. The perfect spot for meditation, writing, relaxing... letting nature heal you. One of my favorite Airbnb's of all time!

Sayari Villas
Frank & Veronica's place definitely deserves a 10 stars rating!! We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay at the property. It has all the amenities listed; it is so peaceful; clean and beautiful. The cherry on top was how responsive and amazing the hosts were. 10/10 would recommend.

Serene Cabin
Glory was so lovely and friendly. We stayed here for a little work staycation and it was looooovely. I didn’t want to leave. Glory made us feel like family and took excellent care of us. Highly recommend. It was amazing. Can’t wait to come back to Arusha just to stay here again. Don’t hesitate- book!

Cozy house - walk to city 2/3
The place is clean and very homely as always, easy check-in and safe location with ease of access to the city centre as well outskirts of Kijenge, Moshono and Njiro. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Arusha.

The River Villa | Situated In A Lush Garden
This is the second time we have stayed at Adam’s place and it definitely won’t be the last. It’s a beautiful home with incredible views or Mt. Meru on a clear day. Adam and Haruna are always there when needed but give you privacy at the same time. Thanks again and see you again soon.

Amora Villa
Amora Villa was the best experience for me and my family. The house is so cozy and clean with good envirnment to stay with kids. Everything you see in the pictures is everything you will see in reality. Evalune & Cedric are so welcoming, They gave us the best hospitality that felt like we are exactly at home. Also you notice the home smells so great as soon as you walk in😍 and the kitchen was stocked up with all important amenities making it so easy to prepare meals for my family. I highly recomend this home and i cant wait to stay here everytime i visit Arusha. This yet our best Air bnb Experience🥰🙏🏽

Wildlife House, 3 bedroom house, amazing design
We've just spent 3 nights at Wildlife House and had a wonderful experience. From the minute we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Evaresti, the manager, and Sospeter, the caretaker. Sospeter was especially helpful in getting us situated, and ready to help with all our needs. We hired Chef Arnold for two days and enjoyed the wonderful meals prepared in the traditional Swahili way. The setting is perfect, with an equestrian facility located 5 minutes walking distance away. We rode horses throughout the property and rode among the herds of wildebeest, zebras, elands, impalas and gazelles. It was magical. The pool was so refreshing after the ride and walking around the property was great and very safe. It's a unique place to be and we had a 5 star experience.
Other great vacation rentals in Arusha

Masi Hill Villa
This house and the whole compound is big and made of high grade wood (maybe mahogany). There are hardly any mosquitoes or flies. The owner did a great job on that. The house and entire compound are very clean. My kids loved it. Cons: the owner needs to improve on communication, including about Wi-Fi usage, etc. The owner left his family photos in the house, which kind of ruined the vacation mood everyday we had to look at that reminder we are in someone else’s home. Also, the master bath is ok, but not big enough, especially the very small vanity/sink, to match the beauty of the house. The time of the year we were there was very cold and no good heating options in the house. Overall: the stay was worth it. I highly recommend this place.

City Retreat Njiro Round About
Place looked like the pics we saw online. host was responsive and reachable.

Siday Residence
Norberts place is at a perfect location, very easy to get around with public transportation and walking distance to awesome bars and restaurants. His place is great, very clean and has everything you need. Norbert was also very helpful since the beginning, available at all times whenever I had any questions. Totally recommend it.

Apartment in a Gated Community
We had a lovely short stay at Ammar's place. The apartment was spacious and had a nice view and Ammar was very helpful with checking in to see if we needed anything. The area is peaceful and nice but not too far away from Arusha city centre. It might be slightly hard to find the first time around. Only downside was that the mentioned pool and gym were not in as nice condition as we had hoped. Would still stay again if in need of a spacious good place. Thanks Ammar!

Sunbird-Cottage-Mt. Meru
What a fantastic place nestled on the foothills of Mount Meru, perched on a hilltop, and surrounded by lush vegetation. Julian was a great and welcoming host. The fireplace made the place extra cozy.

Spacious Getaway: 4 BR, 5 Baths
We had a lovely time! Karo's place is great for a family trip to Arusha. Cosy private neighborhood, close to all the important places and amenities. Convenient access to the Airport through multiple routes. Close to several Supermarkets, Malls, cultural centre, national park and restaurants. We loved the in house chef, she made amazing local delicacies! My favourite restaurant was the Arusha Coffee Lounge! Lovley ambience with great coffee and meals, tucked right in the middle of a coffee plantation. Thanks Karo, you were a superhost and we will definitely visit Arusha again!

WeHomes Appartment
The best stay I've had in Arusha. It is so homey it feels like you are right in your mother's house. We felt right at home. It was peaceful, quaint and beautiful (I mean complete luxury). The house and the compound were so clean, and the beds were ultra comfortable. All amenities were working properly, and they were more than we expected. The location is also perfect. It is in a quiet residential area, so rest assured there is no unwanted noise. The Host (Wema) was just lovely. She responded promptly after booking, and as we were planning our residence. While there, she made sure we were sorted and ensured all our needs were catered to. Plus, Wema was so thoughtful, and her staff were really helpful. A Special Thank You to Wema and Maurice for a perfect experience. Definitely a place I must return to and recommend to others
