Mazzola Safari House & Backpacking

The home felt secure and welcoming. The bed was comfortable.

Be mindful that some drivers will not drop you as the road is bumpy and tricky but it is worth it.

I had an amazing time during my stay with Innocent and his helper Batistar. They were both incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make me feel at home. Breakfast was perfectly arranged every morning. The place is a kind of guesthouse where other bikepackers stay as well, offering a unique opportunity to meet new people and share stories. Innocent even took me on a tour around Arusha, giving me a chance to experience the city from a local perspective.

Beautiful property! Super clean with the loveliest garden with a nice, warm camp fire at night. Innocent and Batiste who run the house are awesome and will go out of their way to help you with everything! I got help with my safari in Ngorongoro and bus to moshi! I loved meeting the other travelers there too. The house fosters a great community!

the location can be a bit of a hassle but i didn’t mind since the house was so nice, I had no reason to leave 😅 plus the hosts will help with delibering food and easily finding cheap transport to town

I stayed at Mazzola for 4 nights with my 8-year-old daughter. It was a lovely place with a spacious living room & dining room and well-equipped kitchen with basic food supplies in stock. A short 15-minute tuktuk ride to town and you can easily use Bolt to get around. The host, mr. Innocent, was always on standby to help us with literally anything we needed, from arranging tours to national parks at fair prices to recommending places to eat or visit in Arusha town. He has gone beyond and above to make our trip to Arusha as fun and meaningful as possible. His professionalism and genuine care for the guests truely shone through, and thanks to him, our trip to Arusha will remain as one of the most memorable trips in TZ.

The host was very hospitable, helped us with all our questions and gave additional tips. He also helped with transport to Arusha center. The rooms were fine. The common room very pleasant. The breakfast was super tasty.

I enjoyed everything about my stay!

Nice place and the owners very helpful

The accommodation is a quiet & green oasis, with a lovely footpath lined with lush greenery. The guesthouse is lovingly & tastefully decorated. The rooms are large, spacious and very clean. A lovely, big garden to relax in. A washing machine for washing. For breakfast, there is a selection of food items that guests may use and a refrigerator stocked with drinks. Innocent is a very attentive host, very well connected and can give excellent advice. He and Battista are such warm hosts. It was clear that they put their heart and soul into their work. A wonderful place, highly recommended. I'll be back 🌞.

Clean

They charged and extra fee without previous notice. You can have a nicer breakfast in any restaurant for less or same amount of money
