We had such a wonderful time at Safari villa home, what an authentic and special place.They literally had me in tears as they embraced us with such a welcome.The story time in the evening while sharing meat. An unforgettable experience with a great Tanzanian history & culture This was an amazing visit. The location is phenomenal as it is settled in view of mount meru. The food was outstanding. Let’s not even talk about the room was magnificent and the relaxation that comes with it. The hospitality was great, this is a must come back place for me. Thank you

We had a fantastic time. The family were very welcoming. The location is an oasis amongst the noise and it had all the creature comforts we wanted. We came back three times as we loved it so much. The garden is a joy to walk around and the pool is a good size. Myself and my daughter were very happy with are stay and have recommended it to our family for future visits.

It was a great stay at this homestay/hostel. We had a comfortable room and everything was clean. We had transport organized for us smoothly and a great breakfast served in the morning. I recommend staying here if you’re staying in Arusha.

The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.

From

Germany

Emma is a lovely host, who does everything for you. Warm lunch, dinner if you want, she drove me in the city to buy a lot of stuff for the Kilimanjaro-Trek since my backpack was lost, so that I could still do it. The house is very clean, good shower with warm water, and it has a nice living room too if you want to relax a little bit. Really good beds, quiet area so you can sleep very good at night. Just a little bit outside for walking by foot in the town, but that is no problem since Emma is so friendly and will for sure arrange everything that you could go and come back there.

We definitely recommend OYA Guest House and can’t wait to come back on our next mission! The rooms were impeccably clean, the bed was the most comfortable of our entire journey, and the homemade food prepared by Jacky was exceptional. Most importantly, Jacky herself is the sweetest and most thoughtful host we encountered!
