Where to Stay in Arusha Before or After a Safari
If your safari begins or ends in Arusha, where you stay can make a big difference. After an early start, a long journey or several days in the bush, having a comfortable place to settle into is worth more than simply having somewhere to sleep.
Ndani House is a small collection of spacious two-bedroom apartments in Burka, Arusha, designed for guests who want the comfort and independence of a home while travelling in Tanzania.
A comfortable base for your safari
Arusha is a natural starting point for safaris to northern Tanzania, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire.
Many safari itineraries begin early in the morning, so staying in Arusha the night before can make the start of your trip easier and more relaxed. Staying an extra night after your safari can be just as worthwhile, giving you time to rest, unpack, do some laundry and enjoy a proper meal before continuing your journey.
At Ndani House, you have more space than you would typically have in a hotel room. Each apartment has two ensuite bedrooms, a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen and a private terrace, with access to the garden and swimming pool.
Why stay in an apartment before or after a safari?
Space to relax
Safari days can be long. Having a separate living area means you don’t have to spend your entire evening in your bedroom.
A proper kitchen
Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, giving you the freedom to prepare something yourself or simply make a cup of tea, coffee or a light meal whenever you like.
Two bedrooms
Two-bedroom apartments are particularly convenient for families, friends travelling together or two couples who want to stay together while still having their own private bedrooms and bathrooms.
A garden and swimming pool
There is space to slow down between adventures. Spend some time in the garden, take a swim or simply sit outside and enjoy the quiet.
Convenient for Arusha
Ndani House is in Burka, a peaceful part of Arusha surrounded by coffee farms. It is close to Arusha Airport and within easy reach of the city, shopping and local attractions.
What to do in Arusha between safaris
If you have a day or two before or after your safari, you don’t have to spend all of it indoors.
You can explore some of Arusha’s cultural and shopping areas, visit the Cultural Heritage Centre, discover local coffee, enjoy the city’s restaurants or simply take a slower day at Ndani House.
Arusha is also a good place to give yourself some breathing room between different parts of a longer Tanzania trip.
Staying before an early safari
If your safari pickup is early in the morning, staying in Arusha the night before means you can wake up close to where your journey begins rather than travelling into the city that morning.
We can also help make your stay more comfortable with services such as breakfast and laundry.
Staying after your safari
After several days of early mornings, dust, long drives and wildlife-filled days, it can be lovely to have a little time before your next flight or destination.
At Ndani House, you can unpack, freshen up, swim, rest, cook a meal and enjoy having your own space again.
A home between adventures
A safari is one of the highlights of a trip to Tanzania, but the time around it doesn’t have to feel like an inconvenience.
Sometimes the best part is having somewhere beautiful and comfortable to come back to.
Ndani House offers four two-bedroom apartments in peaceful Burka, Arusha, making it a comfortable base before or after your safari.
Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out. We’ve already recommended them to others.
