Frequently asked questions about Arusha

When is the best time to visit Arusha?

The best time to visit Arusha is from June to October, when rain is scarce and days are mild, with highs around 21-27°C. September and October are the driest months, with only 7 rain days each. The long rains from April to May are the wettest stretch, with April seeing 25 rain days and high humidity. The short rains in November and December are lighter but still bring frequent showers. For the most comfortable weather, aim for the dry season between June and October.

Which area should I stay in in Arusha?

Stay in the central Uzunguni area for easy access to the Clock Tower and restaurants; the Gran Melia Arusha and Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha are there. The Sekei area, near the Arusha-Taveta Road, suits those wanting a quieter base, with the Mount Meru Hotel. For a greener stay, the Tengeru Road area offers lodges like Arusha Serena Hotel and Lake Duluti Lodge, close to the national park. Kaloleni, around Somali Road, is a practical choice with the seven skies hotel.

What are the must-see attractions in Arusha?

Arusha Clock Tower marks the city center and is a handy landmark for orientation. Cultural Heritage Centre offers a look at local art, crafts, and history. Arusha National Park is a short drive away, with wildlife, forests, and views of Mount Meru. Meserani Snake Park is a good stop to see reptiles and learn about them.

What day trips can I take from Arusha?

Day trips from Arusha go to Ngorongoro Crater for its wildlife and scenery, Tarangire National Park for elephants and baobabs, and Materuni Waterfalls with a coffee tour and Kikuletwa Hot Springs. A Kilimanjaro day hike offers mountain views, while Serval Wildlife Sanctuary and a Maasai village tour combine wildlife and culture.

How many days do I need in Arusha?

Plan 3 to 4 days. In 2 days you can see the Arusha Clock Tower, Cultural Heritage Centre, and Arusha National Park. Add a third day for a full-day trip to Ngorongoro Crater or Tarangire National Park. If you also want a Kilimanjaro day hike, add a fourth day.

Hi, me and some other volunteers came to Arusha to join a 2-day safari. The night before and after the safari we were able to stay at the White House hostel and were very pleased. We enjoyed the food, wifi, bar and hospitality! The last evening before we left the staff even arranged to watch a movie in the theater room and prepared pop-corn. I had a very good time and would like to stay here again! With kind regards Tille

Overall, maybe during busy season when there are a lot of people, this would be a cool spot but it was dead empty around New Years and I felt uncomfortable and dirty that we left to another place within 2 hours of arriving. After talking with others, it sounds like this hostel is usually an awesome place to stay but maybe the recent civil unrest has scared away a lot of visitors so the vibe is different. If there were a lot of other people I could have gotten past the problems below and stayed. Service: After booking, I got a “reservation received but not confirmed” email. A few days before my trip I noticed I never got the confirmation so I had to reach out directly. They said no problem I can just pay when I get there. My brother also had the same problem but never was able to get a reply from them. We show up and there are no other guests and the two workers seemed to not be expecting us. Communicating with them in English was a little difficult but not unexpected. Eventually they show us our rooms and the manager arrives about an hour later. Location: Our safari guide specifically pointed in one direction of the hostel and said “don’t go that way, it’s not safe. Go the other direction, it’s safe.” Which made us not feel comfortable walking outside. The location is kind of on the outskirts of the main part of the city. Rooms: See photos of my bathroom. No shower curtain and there was mold or something on the shower. The door to my room constantly got stuck and was difficult to open. Common Areas: the space outside looked really cool and welcoming. However, it felt abandoned and weird with no one there.

My time at the White House, Arusha was incredible from start to finish! - I was staying here while on a volunteer project with Boresha Maisha Projects. The host Jonas was amazing and very knowledgeable of the area and Tanzania. All the staff were extremely friendly and the chef Pauline made my stay that extra bit better with her amazing food! Also the fire pit each night was a magical touch. Would HIGHLY recommend the White House to stay at if you are in Arusha , or doing Kilimanjaro or a safari! Mark

We have mixed feelings about our stay at this hostel. On the positive side, for the price, the accommodation was quite nice, and the food was really good. The safari they organized for us was excellent and well worth it! However, we were disappointed with a few things. Despite the sign advertising happy hour prices, we weren’t given the discount, which felt misleading. Additionally, we were told in advance that the taxi transfer was included, but when we arrived, they asked for $50 per direction. After some discussion, we managed to make a deal where one transfer was included.

The White House Tanzania is fantastic! Jonas and his staff made sure every detail was looked after. We felt like royalty staying there! The food was as amazing, the service was spectacular and the actual rooms and Bomas themselves are beautiful!

Very nice staff and place. Relaxing and tranquil. Bed and room (private which they upgraded me free of charge) were really nice. Warmish water in shower. Great breakfast for $5 and they also sent someone to get food for me at dinner time. Overall was a nice stay.
