Arusha Villa Karamu Coffee Estate, hotel in Usa River

Located in Usa River, 11 miles from Old German Boma, Arusha Villa Karamu Coffee Estate has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

The site is beautiful, feels much farther from Arusha than it really is. It is a fairly new building, not truly a coffee estate, but built on the site of one. (You can see the grinder once in use near the pool, which itself is a nice feature.) Good food, excellent staff.

Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge, hotel in Usa River

With garden views, Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge is located in Usa River and has a restaurant, a shared kitchen, bar, garden and terrace.

We wanted a comfortable and budget-friendly place to stay after 16 hours of flying, before and after a birding tour of ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK, and prior to the start of a safari to the larger parks. Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge fit the bill perfectly. Edith, the owner and host, saw to our every comfort and need. Our rooms were well-appointed, clean, and spacious. Meals were served home style and delicious. We enjoyed having tea and soda in the outdoor bar each evening. Edith has literally built the property and gardens with her own two hands and her pride shows and it is well justified. The views of Mt. Meru are as memorable as the warm welcome you receive from Edith and her staff. Give Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge a try if you are staying near Arusha before or after a safari.

Shamba Hostel, hotel in Usa River

Located in Maji Ya Chai, 23 mi from Ngurdoto Crater National Park, Shamba Hostel features free bikes and rooms with free WiFi access. Among the various facilities are a garden and a shared lounge.

Food is ample/plentiful and quite good. If you let them know your preferences, they will do their best to cater to them. And the cook does wonderful local dishes (ugali; banana stew; curry with meat)...and the pineapple for desert is great. The hosts are superb people - speak 100% perfect English...work with laptop computers - and own this compound for many years. Their internet is first rate speed (Dad worked for a computer company for many years)...they are also kids of Maasai parents (Maasai are well known for being smart, honest/110%, fun, and a joy to be with). The owner and his wife (and his brother) live onsite and will solve any issues right away They also grew up in the immediate area (indeed their dad built this house/compound in the late 1990s) so know Arusha, tour guides and everything else quite well. Overall for about $45/night you get a great breakfast and dinner...24 hour hot water (and the water pressure is superb)...and grounds where (if you are a birder) you can see African Wood Owls (pair); Tropical Boubou (kind of shrike) and Puffbacks plus others. We've stayed in several places in Arusha while traveling - this one is best quality and great value - especially if you want to try all sorts of local food - the cook does everything well! Finally, if you are leaving Tanzania on an international flight at Kilimanjaro International Airport, this place is significantly closer to that airport than the hotels in Arusha - just off the main road. We can't say enough nice things and recommend this place highly enough - and we've traveled extensively in East and southern Africa.

Double Tent - Dolly Farm & River Camp, hotel in Usa River

Double Tent - Dolly Farm & River Camp is a recently renovated luxury tent in Usa River where guests can make the most of the garden and barbecue facilities.

Altogether a marvelous 'retreat' for a few days, in exceptionally large and comfortable queen-size bed tents, fully equipped with shower etc. And chef on site prepares breakfasts to die for, delicious lunches (on-site or take-out) and super tasteful wholesome dinners. Not a la carte but make your wishes known and she'll surprise you! Meals are taken under majestic trees and the open sky near an open campfire, an elegantly set table, country-style. A brook is running near, down below in the gorge. Its soft rushing sound soothes the soul and assures a restful sleep. No need to stay awake past 9:30, and while birds might try to awaken you at the crack of dawn, the comfort of your bed will lull you back to sleep. We stayed for 5 nights, there are only three tents, and they are spaced wide apart, so plenty privacy!

    Lovely setting. Farming is the main stay.

    Lovely setting. Farming is the main stay. Roads off the main roads maybe be terrible but that’s the same in most towns. Local food is nice and friendly people. I never had and sense of insecurity and always felt safe.
