Chris (host/owner) and the two housekeeper girls made my stay very pleasant. Breakfast was always ready early in the mornings with fresh fruit, coffee, pancakes, granola and yogurt, and omelette. The host also helped me by coordinating and helping me to join a safari (“joiner -group” version) with his associate. The experience with the safari went beyond my expectations too. The house was very clean (inside and outside) and had a nice warm decor. I love the fact you can cook your own food or have the girls cook you a lunch/dinner. The two dogs were also fun, playful and sweet too. I will miss the staff and the dogs at Utamaduni House. If I come back to Arusha to do another safari, i’m definitely coming back to Utamaduni House. We liked them so much, that we actually cooked a Filipino dish for them the day we left.

We love staying at Utamaduni. Staff was super friendly. Rooms were spectular. Definitely come back again. Thank you for making it great

I stayed there in July and I cannot recommend them enough! You get 10 times what you pay for! The owner were extremely kind and helpful, the dog they have is the sweetest thing ever and the place is surrounded by beautiful nature. Although it is slightly located further away from the center of Arusha they can easily arrange a cheap taxi or boda boda ride for you. Its a peaceful getaway from the bustling city, so you can sleep in Peace and wake up with the sounds of the Birds chirping. The breakfast was enormous and SO delicious. The owner even went out of her way to get me a plant based meal so I can enjoy eating cereals in the morning. It honestly felt like a family and I trully believe that this is the best place to stay to start your Tanzanian Adventure. Do not hesitate and just book your stay in this beautiful gem!!

Let me put it that way – it felt like home. I had a very warm welcome by the owners and really enjoyed staying with them. The House is nicely furnished, I love the mix of Scandinavian- and African styles. The two lovely Tanzanian girls, working in the house, will also serve you a super nice breakfast and dinner. Dinner can be booked separately for about 8-9 dollars. In case you need a transport, the owners will arange one for you. Also the wifi is working well in comparison to other Tanzanian places. Don’t start comparing western standards to the one of Africa. In case you also will need a Covid Test, you can do it in MT Meru Hospital (24h).

Really great accomodation. We enjoyed our stay in the best site of the town very much. Very nice owners and we especially appreciated the Company of their dogs zazu and simba :)Owners are really helpful with everything. Very safe as well.

The place is quiet and secure. Simone and Chris are really welcoming and friendly and they helped us a lot with organising our tours.You will have nice and clean rooms and a extraordinary good breakfast. You can also eat dinner and lunch there and its also really good. We enjoyed it so much that we came back 2 times after leaving. 5 stars for sure

Wonderful stay, very clean beautiful and spacieux rooms! The owners were very helpful. The place is just like the pictures and even better!

It is a wonderful home away from home. We enjoyed our stay at lovely Simones and Chris house very much. They did everything to accommodate a perfect stay. Their funny dog Simba is just adorable and is friends with every visitor. The garden is a perfect place to unwind and relax. also dont miss out on Simones cooking skills, we were treated with delicious dishes at night and with an amazing breakfast every morning. We will definitely come back once we are back in Tansania!

Stayed twice at Utamaduni House, and I was very pleased with both the place, the rooms, the service, the staff and the food.

Great place, I loved it! Excellent rooms and breakfast, and super kind hosts. Chris and Simone and very friendly, attentive and careful. Recommended!

If you are looking for a home away from home then this is the place to be. Simone and Christopher are amazing hosts and super welcoming.Disclaimer though, the place is a bit off Arusha town.

The place is so nice,it feels like homePeople are so kind and friendlyI enjoyed the nature around of it and the scent inside the house......

Very nice place to stay in Arusha. Nice rooms and very nice garden and very good service.

Just amazing all around. This place was super homey, had lovely decor, smelled amazing and the food was divine.
