About The Accommodations

1. Haradali Home – Arusha

Experience Tanzania Beyond the Role of a Visitor

A homestay offers something a conventional hotel often cannot: the opportunity to experience everyday life alongside a local family. Shared dinners, conversations with the people who make the home run, and food connected to the farm-to-table philosophy bring guests closer to the people and practices behind Tanzanian hospitality.

Staying here is an invitation to begin your safari through human connection — to learn, share and feel welcomed into a home rather than simply checking into a room.

2. Ngorongoro Haradali, Karatu

Discover What It Means to Be Rooted in a Place

Here, the farm-to- table experience connects the food guests enjoy with the land on which it grows. The property’s development also reflects the involvement of people from the surrounding community, making local participation part of its story.

Choosing to stay here means experiencing hospitality that values more than comfort: it recognises the importance of local people, locally grown food and a relationship with the surrounding community.

3. Queens Serengeti

Be Part of a Safari Story Led by Women

Queens Serengeti brings a women-in-business story into the heart of the wilderness. The experience highlights women’s participation and leadership in safari hospitality, giving guests another way to connect their journey with the people behind the destination.

Alongside the extraordinary wildlife of the Serengeti, staying here invites guests to recognise and support women’s roles in the tourism industry.

4. Ngorongoro Uzuri Hideaway, Karatu

Let Your Stay Contribute to a Greener Landscape

At Uzuri Hideaway, the connection between hospitality and the surrounding community extends to the land itself. The property embraces a farm-to-table approach and local participation, bringing together food production, community collaboration and environmental care.

Staying here offers a chance to experience the beauty of the highlands while connecting with a hospitality approach that values local involvement and care for the surrounding landscape.
