Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Small jungle in Arusha 🌴

Safariland Cottages impressed me with its stunning garden and jungly-vibe. The rooms had comfortable beds, hot water, and mosquito nets. The central building served a fantastic breakfast and had Wi-Fi access. The location on Old Radio Road was convenient, with nearby dining and entertainment options. Host Rohima provided excellent hospitality and was very helpful with ordering of takeaway and other questions. I can't wait to return to this hidden gem for a peaceful retreat in lush surroundings.

Comfortable, Wonderful.

I've now stayed at Safariland for several nights on two occasions-- once in 2019 and recently in June, 2022. It is the perfect place to rest/relax/reenergize whether one has business in Arusha or is carrying on to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, hot water, and mosquito nets. There is a shared, central building where breakfast is served (including fantastic coffee and fresh fruit!) which also is the hotspot for Wi-Fi. Located on Old Radio Road, Safariland is within walking distance (~1.5 miles) to a Cinema complex where there are an assortment of restaurants. Rohima is the perfect host and I look forward to my next trip there!

Best deal I have found in Arusha

The people here are so nice. The room is comfortable and clean and the price is reasonable. I have been using this place as a base while I travel around Tanzania. I have lived in Arusha and travelled here often. Have not found a better deal.

Wonderful, tranquil

A group of us stayed at Safariland before and after our journey west to Ngorongoro and beyond. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are attentive and thoughtful. The food (breakfast especially) was amazing. It is within a walk (1.5 miles) to a grocery store, cafe, and cinema. I highly recommend safariland. Wifi was available in a central location where there is cold beer and coffee (but not in the rooms).

Comfortable and friendly accommodations in a beautiful spot!

This was a lovely place to stay! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous - it feels like you're in your own little jungle in the best way! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating! Breakfast was included, with flexible meal times which was great. I would definitely recommend staying at Safariland!

Such a nice lodge with amazing management

The lodge management and girls who work there were so nice and accommodating! They were able to give us different breakfast times and were very sweet. The rooms all have their own bathrooms and the entire lodge looks like it’s surrounded by a lush jungle.

Hidden gem

It was like being in a jungle hideaway. The garden surrounding the cottages is beautiful. Very comfortable beds, clean room. The owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. They went the extra mile to help us. We had excellent breakfast with them with good conversations. I am sure we will come back here. It is not in the city centre, but not far from it either. Very nice, calm rural area.

Best place in Arusha !

I spent a whole week at Safariland Cottages for a business trip. I never had such a good experience in Arusha : everything is clean, organized, the food is amazing and - most of all - Rehema and her mother do everything in their control to make you feel at home. I highly recommend this place for business trips, holidays, family trips, etc.

I keep coming back to Safariland

The first time I stayed in Safariland Cottages was in 2015. Since then my work brought me back to Arusha multiple times. And whenever I am in Arusha, I don't consider any better place for me to stay than Safariland. This is the 2nd review I write for this place (first in 2015), but that one review is not enough after all the times I came back to it since then. Nowadays I recommend the place to all friends and colleagues who are going to Arusha for a while. None of those who took my recommendation regretted it, and even they became frequent guests at Safariland if they travel to Arusha again. That must speak for something. I recently had a long stay in Arusha, so I thought it's time to right another review. What I said earlier "pleasant place, very pleasant people" is still the best summary. One thing I will emphasize however: this is a cottage environment, not a regular hotel. It is a peaceful, comfortable atmosphere with minimum hi-tech. Wifi is available in common areas and arrangements can be made for guests who want constant wifi at their rooms. There is a lounge area with a bar and TV, but the most beautiful thing about this place is the green and serene atmosphere with all the main amenities needed: nice rooms, hot water, nice food and drinks, electricity, accessibility, and friendly service.…
