Ukarimu Hosts is managed by East Africa Safari Guides, a renowned luxury safari company based in Arusha. While our sister company was established five years ago with a stellar reputation for crafting unforgettable wildlife experiences, Ukarimu Hosts was founded in 2025 with a dedicated mission: to provide the same standard of excellence, but within the walls of your home away from home. Our foundation is built upon the expertise and values of our parent company. This unique heritage means we are not just property managers; we are hospitality professionals with a deep, innate understanding of what travelers to Tanzania truly seek: authenticity, comfort, and seamless service. Our highly trained personnel are not only experts in accommodation logistics but are also ambassadors of East African hospitality, ensuring we provide the best possible service from the moment you inquire until long after you've departed. Our management by East Africa Safari Guides is our greatest differentiator. We understand the rhythm of a safari holiday. We know you might need an early breakfast before a dawn game drive, a perfectly chilled drink upon return from the dust, or a supremely comfortable bed to collapse into after a day of adventure. We anticipate needs you haven't even thought of yet. Our team can provide invaluable local insights, from the best cultural restaurants in Arusha to the most scenic routes for your self-drive, blurring the lines between your accommodation and your overall experience. We pride ourselves on moving beyond transactional stays to create relational experiences. Our commitment to "Ukarimu" (Swahili for hospitality, generosity, and kindness) is woven into every interaction. From arranging a private chef to cook a traditional Swahili meal to organizing a surprise birthday celebration or ensuring a travel cot and highchair are set up before a family's arrival, our team is empowered to go the extra mile.

Our intimate property in peaceful Mianzini offers emperor-sized beds (7ft x 6ft), solar-powered comfort, and chef-prepared meals with local flavors - all while supporting community development through SDG-aligned practices. Perfect for families, couples and safari-goers, we provide modern comforts like laundry service and universal charging stations in a culturally immersive setting just minutes from Arusha's city center. We redefine affordable luxury with personalized service and meaningful experiences. Our prime location gives easy access to hidden gems like Napuru Waterfall and Tengeru Market, while our local experts can arrange everything from Mount Meru hikes to cultural visits. With health-certified cleanliness, 24/7 security and fire safety systems, your wellbeing is guaranteed.
