Msitu Hut

Quiet and peaceful with beautiful views, the accommodation was very comfortable and brand new.

Just the coordination, the link for the map sent us the wrong way so took a bit longer than expected. Just timewise we weren't able to do a couple of things but it also wasn't very good weather which can't be helped.

The property is amazing and very well maintained, with a charming rustic vibe. It's the perfect place to connect with nature. We truly enjoyed every moment! The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances, and towels and linens are provided. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming, always available with prompt and helpful assistance. They recommended great restaurants and offered guidance for booking various activities. Upon our arrival, the host kindly offered us fresh eggs from his chickens, and we made a delicious omelet! It was a thoughtful gesture, especially since we arrived late and didn’t have the energy to go out for dinner. We also appreciated the flexibility of late check-in and early check-out—thank you! A heads-up for future guests: the road leading to the property is quite bumpy, so an SUV is highly recommended. We rented a reliable car from our host, which we used for getting around town. Asante sana!

Just a small note for future guests: the property isn’t heated, and during our stay, the indoor temperature dipped to around 17°C. However, there were plenty of cozy blankets provided, and with our warm clothes, we stayed perfectly comfortable. It actually added to the rustic charm and made for a snug, peaceful experience.

The setting is gorgeous! Beautiful garden & (sometimes) views of Mts. Meru & Kili. Cleanliness is amazing! Brother of owner is mine host and very attentive.

Access road is grim! But it’s Tanzania… Electricity a little dodgy. Late night water supply a little unreliable.

The house is beatifully made with good craftsmanship and superb aestethics. Keeping with the beatiful nature surrounding it. A lot of attention has been made to details like the hemmed mosquitonets and the frosting on the bedroom door with the silhuette of Mt.Meru and little Meru. The garden is just as exquisite as the house, and besides enjoying relaxing on the deck, which on clear days has views of Kilimanjaro, you also have the option to let the chickens roam the garden. They are quite friendly if you let them, but they wont bother you. I am sure if you ask nicely, you can also buy fresh eggs every day. You can drive up to the house in a normal car if you take the last bit pole pole. If you arrive by bus Sunday can take you. He can also help with shopping or organising any tours you would want. He is very kind, serviceminded and very proffesionel! You will be in the best hands!! As well as northerns circuit, Kilimanjaro etc. he can also organise a tour to Arusha nat. Park which I higly recommend! The walking safari is not to be missed! The owners, brothers and Sunday was so nice to me and always checking in to see if I was ok or needed anything. I felt quite spoiled 😁 My best recommendations for this place. It is not to be missed! Asante Sana - till we meet again.

Loved everything

Nice place, hard to find. Well equipped, close to the gate of Atosha NP. Quit and friendly.

Ask for detailed directions and a working contact number. This will avoid adventure and frustration. A car with a lot of ground clearance is needed to get there. We had a Landcruiser, this was OK. With a normal car its very risky.
