Arusha General Sleeping

General Sleeping

Arusha has plentiful accommodation to cater to all ends of the scale. For budget travellers, many recommend the Maasai Camp (near the city centre) or the Snake Park (which is in a village called Meserani, about 10 miles out on the Dodoma Road). These are both lively locations with popular bars and good services at a very low price. There are many hotels in the centre of the town, including the international-grade Mount Meru hotel and the New Arusha. You won't get any surprises in this sort of accommodation. At the highest end of the scale there are numerous luxurious lodges in and around the city, some of which offer stunning scenery and the best standard of accommodation. Worth a mention is the Kigongoni Lodge which is run by an NGO. All the profits go to support a local school for mentally handicapped children so that you can stay in luxury while helping the nearby community
