Safari Junction Backpackers hostel

Early check in is possible, the owner and his family are very nice, location is good not so far away from town, in a quiet area.

Nothing.

A small family owned hostel run by a cool laid back guy that also has a safari touring company, for its price quality and location are unmatched

I had an exceptional stay at this wonderful place in Iringa! The location is perfect – it's close to the city but still maintains a peaceful atmosphere with stunning mountain views in the background. The breakfast each morning was great and everything was kept very clean. One of the highlights is the spacious kitchen, fully equipped with all the tools you need to cook your own meals. There's also a small bar where you can buy soda, water, or beer at a very affordable price. The staff here are simply exceptional, especially the owner, Enock, who is always making sure you have everything you need and more. Husna, a very sweet woman who cleans there, offers laundry services for a small fee. The WiFi connection is good, and there is hot water available. The outdoor area is continually improving, and it's noticeable how much effort Enock is putting in. During my stay, the staff even helped me set up everything so I could watch the Euros and cheer for my country – truly above and beyond service! I initially planned to stay for just a little over a week, but I was so impressed that I extended my stay for my entire six-month internship. It doesn’t matter if you are a single traveler, a pair, more people or even a family, they fill the requirements for all. I highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Iringa.

Everything was good!

My husband and I stayed six nights in the hostel, although we originally only planned for two. The hostel just opened and its owner Enok works hard to make it an even more beautiful place. Although some things like wifi and sometimes warm water did not work yet, it was the welcoming atmosphere and great support from Enok and his lovely family as well as the location, that made us extend our stay. The Hostels location is only about 500m from the city's bustling center but it still feels like you are out of town. Vervet Monkeys are roaming the trees and a chamaleon crossed our path. Enoks dog is also very friendly. The rooms were clean, breakfast was plenty with fresh fruits from the garden and the employee Husna even washed our clothes for a small fee. We had a great time and hope to be back one day!

The rooms were comfy and spacious, they offer a kitchen to cook your own food and the host is very helpful and kind. He tried so hard to get me on a safari with his company within my budget in low season!

I was the first guest here! The owner had just taken over so there were a few things that he was still getting put into place (wifi being one of them). But it sounds like most of these kinks will be worked out soon; I can even see changes in the three days I stayed here!
