Vacation rentals with breakfast in Shanty Town

Perfect place to stay before our kilimanjaro hike. Walkabale to downtown Arusha (20-30 min) to explore local shops and also walking distance (5-10 min) to various restaurants. The weekend we stayed, there was a huge festival for a local marathon. There was live music and celebration all weekend just down the block. It was a great time! Ruth and Sabby were always responsive and helpful. We felt very welcomed and at home.

What a magical location! All requests were promptly met with warmth and genuine hospitality. I would return for the kind family, proximity to town and the view.

We had a wonderful stay at Salome's place. So far, airbnb has not yet been able to correct the exact location. The place is at Kidia, with a good car, just a 20-30 minute drive to the centre of Arusha. Salome and her family are very caring and lovely and they made us feel at home very quickly. They have delicious food right from their gardens, the place is very beautiful and cool. We felt very spoiled while we stayed there and hope to meet agian.

Jenipher is a wonderful resource and the stay was great. Beautiful home outside patio.

Very nice private compound. Super helpful on-site staff, with a very nice outside sitting area. I would definitely recommend!

During our visit to Tanzania, we traveled the entire length of Zanzibar; spent weeks on the shores of Dar Es Salam (haven of peace) exploring it''s offerings. But then we came to Mama Simba and Upendo's place. This was our haven of peace. Upendo coordinated just the right activities for both our fifty something year old selves and our family in their early to mid twenties. This was more than a place to stay. They helped to shape an experience. We explored caves and learned local history. We trekked down into a valley to stand beneath the largest waterfall in the region. We picked, shelled, roasted and grinded our own coffee right from a farm. And of course there was "Kili". Each morning we would be greeted with the same warm smiles and a different delicious breakfast. When we scheduled to dine-in they prepared wonderful meals. We were also directed to some great local spots for both casual and fine dining. Inside the villa, the garden was peaceful and beautiful. The weather and the layout combined to have us relaxing outside in the common spaces each evening rather than just rushing into our separate rooms. Family members shared how they were able to read, relax, write, meditate and receive inspiration. The showers were hot. The staff was friendly and helpful. What a great escape. What beautiful people. Thank you Upendo. Thank you Momma Simba and team. We're grateful for how you blessed our family.

Miriam’s place is the serenity itself. Beautiful garden, comfortable bed(!), flexible and hospitable staff. Enjoyed chilling by the pool! Would return and recommend!

This was a last minute booking but if it was possible we would have stayed longer! Such a nice host extremely accommodating and helpful with whatever we needed. I appreciate how we were treated made us feel at home instantly. I would recommend this for sure ! The location is perfect and the room is clean and comfortable as well

When I am in Moshi, I look forward to the peace and community and comfort here. It’s walkable to downtown and you can feel Kili peering down at you. Staff is responsive and supportive. Stay here!…unless I want to book a room. 😊

We loved staying here! The accommodations are comfortable, peaceful and great for the price! The food is delicious and you’ll be stuffed full the entire time! I’ve been traveling and living around Tanzania for almost 8 years. I can say this is some of the best home cooked food I’ve ever had! If you are needing to stay near the airport, this is the best option!

My second stay at Mama Simba’s. It is like a homestay. So friendly and helpful. Mama Simba is an engaging and interesting woman, and very involved with her community. I like being in Rau, a little outside of Moshi town.

Sophie's place was great. It was peaceful and quiet, yet very convenient to the busy town of Moshi. She and her family were wonderful, we felt right at home. The meals were very good. I would definitely stay there again.

Catherine went above and beyond! We stayed for a night during our flight layover. She picked us up and dropped us off from the airport. She allowed us to stayed later than regular check-out until time for our flight. She even taught how to cook a local dish and gave me some spice to take home and try cooking it! I would absolutely recommend staying here!
