Sleeping with us will help our community
Thanks to generous donations from Europe, but especially from Switzerland, we were able to complete the upper floor of the orphanage in 2019.
Four small double rooms have been available there since December 2019. Our hostel is small but fine. We do not want mass tourism and we want to take care of our guests and volunteers individually.
100% of the hostel’s income goes to the orphanage
The current monthly costs in the orphanage consist of the purchase of food, the cost of water and electricity and the wages of the employees in the orphanage and hostel. We don’t just want to help the children and their families. We also have a responsibility towards the employees. They support their own families with their wages, which they receive from us. Money is also needed for hygiene products and repairs.
You can see here other ways to help us grow and get strong for the future.
The rooms
4 bright and friendly rooms with 2 beds each. Two of the rooms have their own bathroom. For the 3rd and 4rd room there is a bathroom on the floor.
The rooms are rented for individual nights, or longer. For longer stays we offer discounts on room rates. This is especially appropriate if you are committed to our project, the orphanage or another social project in the area.
From the terrace you can enjoy an indescribably magnificent view of Mount Meru. This is the second highest mountain in Tanzania with a proud 4800 meters above sea level. If you walk a little bit and the weather suits, you can even see the Kilimanjaro.

Activities and services around Arusha
The city can be reached by car in about 10 minutes. If you decide to stay longer, it makes sense to accept our offer of a guided tour on the first day. In the process, you get to know Arusha. We like to show where the local shops are, the markets with their diverse offer of all kinds of fresh foods such as vegetables, salads and fruits.
Also exciting is the large supermarket «Shoppers» in which you can even find European food. Of course, we travel to the city by local transport, so that everyone can find their way around later and explore the city alone. There are also some cafes and good restaurants of European standard. Those who love to taste local food will also get their money’s worth here.
We are happy to organize excursions in the surrounding area on weekends. On site we have a wide selection of bathing areas to waterfall viewing or culture. Just like it’s popular.
If you want to experience the nightlife in Africa, we are happy to accompany you to the trendy dance clubs of Arusha. There are various restaurants, most of which are open-air restaurants where you can have fun to your heart’s content. It is always fascinating how the Africans like to dance and you get really infected by it. You can’t help it.
