Cottages in ArushaCottage

We spent three nighzts at Under the Shade as we began our 2026 12-day safari in Tanzania and this is our fourth or fifth time at this lodge. I have lost track.

The gardens and the forestry experience was amazing. The team is fantastic and very highly hospitable. Beautiful in every respect! The rooms are lovely; spacious, beautifully appointed and clean.

Room we had was clean and had air conditioning. Comfortable bed, only downside was the bed was against the wall, not great for a double.
Staff were lovely and very helpful.

My experience was very pleasant, tasty breakfast and friendly staff.

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. Fred, the owner, was very friendly and welcoming. He arranged our airport pickup and drop-off and was always happy to help with any questions we had.

I stayed at Didas Villa for around 2 weeks. Fred the owner is super reliable, kind, helpful, and trustworthy. He will help you with anything you need.

The hotel is in a good location, very safe, with convenient transportation, and a quiet environment. The room is large and clean. It also has a kitchen, living room, and balcony.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable.

Had the trip of a lifetime through Greg adventures! The villa poa staff were very accommodating too!

Greg and the Villa Poa crew are amazing for both a stay in Arusha as well as safari! Thank you so much! 10/10 recommend.

I had a very good experience at Tellamande Lodge. The staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment I arrived.

A beautiful discovery, a spacious and really cool setting. I recommend with your eyes closed.

Excellent care and attention from Jessica. The house was safe and clean with lots of room for 8 people. We highly recommend.
