A very peaceful place, the hostel itself is surrounded by greenery and nature, located in a wonderful spot near a river. The rooms are tidy, cozy, and quiet. But the biggest praise goes to the chef. The food was amazing — we didn’t expect to eat so well. I would love to return again and again just because of the food.

It couldn't have been better value for money. The friendliness of the staff was unbeatable and the breakfast was excellent. A pity we only stayed one night.

It was an amazing stay from the start to the end. We booked the pick up from the airport to the hotel direct with Anton. Later we booked also the Safari and the climbing to moumt Meru with Anton. He offered us those activities for a very fair price and everything was perfect. We also had to move the dates for the stay for one day without any problems. Anton was very friendly and organized everything for us. He also went with us for dinner, showed us around and helped us with every question we had. We will for ever remember the stay in the Savannah House

Cozy, clean, and very friendly environment! Simplistic, but thoroughly detailed design, spacious soft beds, lovely staff (host Nam and guard Josi). The ratio price/quality is the best, the hostel is located not far from the city center, 10 min ride on motorbike. Beautiful landscape, nice weather. Everything is just perfect!

Everything was perfect! The Serengeti Home is very clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, giving a real feeling of home away from home. The location is peaceful but still close to the city center. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. We especially loved the cozy atmosphere and the attention to detail in every corner. Staying here made our time in Arusha even more special – we truly felt like part of the family

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
