Arusha Villa Karamu Coffee Estate

Fantastic place with everything you could want or need. After ten hours of travel we arrived rather late to a warm welcome by the wonderful staff. Beautiful setting with a fire burning in the lounge area and a welcome drink and snacks. They have fabulous food, the room was huge, clean and comfortable with a view of the monkeys that run through the trees daily around 5 pm. We really appreciated the staff and the gracious hospitality. A perfect place to stay on every level.

We stayed here at the end of our safari trip before travelling home and it was the perfect stop off to unwind and relax after a busy couple of days. Friendly staff, great facilities and a beautiful big room with comfortable beds. Food choice was limited for dinner but the local and eco friendly ingredients made up for it. I would certainly stay again!

Arusha villa was perfect after a 10 day on safari. The location on a coffee estate is gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful and the swimming pool a perfect way to relax and unwind. We enjoyed the food and found the staff friendly and attentive. A pleasant stay

Thank you @arusha_villa for the wonderful stay at your beautiful property. The airy bright rooms were delightful…bed was so cozy… food was delicious… and the conversation was inspiring🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The White-tailed Colobus was a special bonus as the proprietor was so gracious to invite me along on a walking tour of the surrounding area.

Very nice lodge with swimming pool, located at site former coffee plantage and large rooms. What strikes is the kindness and flexibility of the staff. Furthermore, the food is good. High light of the day is the show of the blue monkey’s, which are jumping from three to three. Finally, my family enjoyed the guided tour over the coffe plantage, with a focus on birds and plants.

My friend and I stayed here while awaiting to start our safari. It was gorgeous and the people were so kind. We love the food. Our room was very airy and full of natural light. Gorgeous bathrooms. The staff was always helpful with any request. Also, all of the monkeys at the swimming pool were amazing. Barrack and Rachel were wonderful. Many other wonderful staff members who I cannot remember their names. Kathryn and Sandra

Perfect start of our Safari holiday in Tanzania. We arrived at 10:30 pm, but the restaurant was still open and prepared some lovely snacks for us. There is also an exterior sitting area with a fire place. The family room was very spacious, super cosy and clean. We did not use the pool but it looked great.

Arusha Villa was a great place to start our safari trip in Tanzania (family of five). After 15 hours travelling it was a relief to only have a 50 minute drive to Arusha villa from Kilimanjaro airport and we had a fantastic welcome when we arrived. The rooms were very spacious (we had a double and a triple for our kids) with great beds and bathrooms. The whole hotel is probably only around 10 bedrooms or so so not very busy. We took our first day to relax and stayed at the hotel to recover from the travelling. The staff were incredibly helpful, a great breakfast, lunch and dinner and the service overall was first rate. On our second day we visited Arusha national park which was a fantastic small park to start our safari and the hotel provided a great packed lunch. On checkout everything went smoothly, the extra drinks we had bought were the best value we had in Tanzania and the staff kindly changed some large dollar notes we had into smaller denominations to help with the rest of our trip. The only criticism I would have of the hotel is that there aren't many sun beds so if you want to relax by the pool for a while there isn't much room. Everything else was great and a perfect place to stay for your first night/nights visiting Tanzania

Arusha Villa is the best place to start your holiday in Tanzania. It has very greens surrounding so a lot (animals, plants, trees) can be seen from your room. Even blue monkeys are a common site in the garden of Arusha Villa! The food is good and the staff is very friendly. The room was amazing. Felt like a 5 star hotel. I highly recommend to book a nature walk with Abdul Jumanne. He has a lot of knowledge about the surroundings and is a professional birdwatcher.
