Bomani House — Hotel in Arusha

My stay at Bomani House was truly amazing!! I stayed for more than two weeks in different rooms and they are all amazing! The house is cozy, comfortable, clean and surrounded by stunning nature, offering a peaceful escape from the city. Hosea is a kind host, always helping and trying his best. He speaks very good english and german. Every morning he prepared a great breakfast with eggs, chapati and fruits (see pictures). Somtimes I also asked him to cook dinner for me and it was always amazing, he even shared his recepies with me. Additionally, Hosea organized tours for me and my dad like safari, hot springs, walking tour in Mto wa mbu and a very unique trip with mororcycles! It was an amazing experience! Also he took me/us to several places aorund arusha (waterfall, arusha city, lake duluti, meru view point, panorama campground, arusha nightlife, mount meru motorcross). Also there are several things to do in and around the house like playing dart, making bracelets, relax in the beautfiul garden, have a bonfire at the fire place, cooking class with Hosea or do sports (local fitness studio haha)

If you have problems organizing the transport just ask Hosea, he will help you. What I really enjoyed is that you can walk around the neighbourhood safely, I even went for running on my own. The kids will wave at you or follow you. There is a tailor Hosea recommended to me, who made a beautiful skirt for me (local fabric,...

The lake is stunning and the guide made it really special with interesting insights and a calm, personal atmosphere.||The accommodation itself is cozy, with clean rooms, a lovely garden, and a shared kitchen.
