Most of my guests are short-term guests since they start safari and hiking trips from here. My accommodation is located in the north of Arusha city, at the slopes of beautiful Mt. Meru.
Additionally to my villa and the tour operator I founded an NGO to support local projects with volunteers and interns from abroad. They also stay at my villa, so it's always busy at my place!

The tasks ranged from working on the Website and Social Media channels, taking photos and visiting the various social and environmental projects of the organization.

Boss lady!
We stayed with Tizia for 10 weeks, and what a time we had!
Far from being your typical work environment, we shared many a laugh and soon became good friends. Tizia, her husband Tini and their son Taras made our stay not only interesting but also super fun and productive too.

We loved hosting Nicole and her boyfriend!
They were a great help in our NGO and fun people to be around. Both are very skilled and put 100% into their work, we learnt a lot from them.
If you ever get the chance of hosting them, do you - you won't regret!

I stayed with Tizia and the gang for two months and I have to say that they are all so lovely and welcoming. I instantly felt at home with Tizia and was able to immediately feel comfortable in such new and different surroundings. I stayed in "the treehouse" which is a very comfortable and spacious room with a private bathroom.

Along with the volunteer projects where I went to film for the Youtube page, I also got to visit the Hot Springs and Maasai Village which I'll remember forever. The work itself was super flexible… read more

Having Jen was an amazing experience.
She is a very skilled film maker and helped us getting awesome videos of the hostel and our projects.
She truly became a friend and it's sad that she has to leave us.
We wish her all the best for her on going travels! <3

It was a pleasure working with Janina.
She helped us doing fundraising for a pre-school which we plan to build.
Furthermore she corrected texts for a website, and since she studied English that was very helpful as well.
We wish her all the best for her future!
