We spent only one day at nomads nest, our first day in Tanzania and the next morning we went on safari. But it was enough to understand how welcoming, caring and sincere Martin and his mother Veronica were. After 2 weeks, we returned for our things as if to old friends. The accommodation itself is comfortable, clean and quiet. The location is convenient – ​​between the city center and the local airport. For us – a family of 4, it was very convenient to have the entire premises at our disposal – 2 bedrooms and a dining room. In addition to an excellent breakfast, we also ordered dinner from Veronica, our first acquaintance with the local cuisine turned out to be very successful – the food was very tasty. Martin took care of all the transfers, and this was not an easy task, since we had a lot of luggage. He also called a taxi and explained to the driver what we were interested in in the city. This was important, since the driver did not speak English. The price for everything was more than reasonable.

The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.

Really nice, calm and clean room. Breakfast was amazing. They make whatever you like. Seems a bit outside center, but you can take the “badjadji”(tuk tuk) or taxi and you’re there in a minute. It is also ideally located if you want to visit a coffeefarm or one of the waterfalls. You can go for an organised trip or hike yourself like we did. Tip: negotiate the price for the taxi to citycenter and airport.

    I really loved my stay here - Innocent is a great host, always going an extra mile to help or accommodate his guests. As it was my first time in Tanzania, he made it much easier for me to get used to it, helped arrange transportation, order food from delicious local restaurant etc. Also breakfast served was delicious!
