Nomads nest safari house

We spent only one day at nomads nest, our first day in Tanzania and the next morning we went on safari. But it was enough to understand how welcoming, caring and sincere Martin and his mother Veronica were. After 2 weeks, we returned for our things as if to old friends.
The accommodation itself is comfortable, clean and quiet. The location is convenient – ​​between the city center and the local airport. For us – a family of 4, it was very convenient to have the entire premises at our disposal – 2 bedrooms and a dining room. In addition to an excellent breakfast, we also ordered dinner from Veronica, our first acquaintance with the local cuisine turned out to be very successful – the food was very tasty.
Martin took care of all the transfers, and this was not an easy task, since we had a lot of luggage. He also called a taxi and explained to the driver what we were interested in in the city. This was important, since the driver did not speak English.
The price for everything was more than reasonable.

Das Frühstück und die Pancakes

Das nomads nest safari house ist eine wirklich wunderschön gestaltete Unterkunft. Alles ist dort wirklich sehr, sehr sauber. Veronica und ihr Sohn Martin sind außergewöhnlich nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber:innen. Veronica ist sehr herzlich. Martin fuhr mit mir sogar zum Markt, um mit mir Kleidung zu kaufen, die ich für eine Camping Safari benötigte. Das Frühstück war super lecker.
Ich habe mich in der Unterkunft sehr wohl gefühlt und würde sie wirklich sehr empfehlen.

We had a lovely stay at Nomads Nest Safari house. The room was spacious and clean with a mosquito net. Veronica and Martin were excellent hosts and really went the extra mile to help out and make us feel comfortable. Veronica even came to the market to help us buy a warm blanket for safari.
Highly recommend this lovely place. Veronica's breakfasts were really delicious and we had the best pineapple we've ever eaten!

Very nice bedrooms, breakfast is amazing

The young host and his mother had wonderful personality and hospitality.

We shared stories about each other's countries, and as our schedules happened to coincide, he showed me around Arusha.

I was also very satisfied with the breakfast, which included delicious omelets, pancakes, and a wide variety of fruits.

Staying at this hotel made my trip to Tanzania better and more memorable.

Very nice hostess, clean and comfortable room, close to airport, a good place to stay

Great house very clean and great hosts

Really great lodging, clean and comfortable room, hostess Veronica and boy Martin and really nice, they helped a lot, it’s just like staying at your own home

I stayed with Gerald for only a couple nights but managed to do a lot in a short time and get to know him a bit! He kindly picked me up from the airport at 2am and we drove to the house. It was in a fairly quiet area - even as a light sleeper I had no troubles. The bedroom was decently sized and comfy. The toilet was fine and the shower was hot, although maybe not a high pressure jet you might find in a fancy hotel, for the price I really cannot complain. I had asked if he would drive me to the local lake called Duluti, so we went in the afternoon. He also helped me get a sim card and currency on the way. (Be prepared to have street sellers approach you as soon as you enter the town!) The lake was lovely - recommend it as a chill day if you have a late flight or are tired from travel - you can canoe or walk around and there are restaurants. Gerald spent the day with me for this and was knowledgeable about the bird life. I got some great pictures of kingfishers and an eagle! He has his own company so is experienced with the area and Safari/Kilimanjaro.

I departed the next morning for a 3 day safari, and then returned for a final day before heading off to Moshi for Kilimanjaro. Gerald looked after my luggage whilst I was away and also exchanged some more currency for me. I should also mention he grabbed some fruit and eggs from the market to make breakfast on my request which was very kind. I left a proportionate tip!

Overall a wonderful stay, and if you need help getting around he is certainly a great chap to ask for help.

The property was clean and modern and had everything you could need. Veronika and Gerald were amazing hosts and a real bonus for us was the amazing breakfasts prepared by Veronika!
Gerald run various tours and excursions, we went on the coffee tour and it was good!

The property exceeded my expectation. Being very clean, maintained and furnished well. The host Gerald was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. Would recommend anyone passing through for safari or hiking excursions. It's also very close to Arusha airport.

It was a very nice stay. The house is quite central and a very homy get away in the middle of town. Gerald is a very friendly and uncomplicated host with a great taste of indoor design! The breakfast was great, lots of fruit, fresh juice and eggs. Loved it!

Just a home away from home. Gerald provides a clean and cosy accommodation with well equipped kitchen and free drinking water. Toilet (good flush) & Shower are in seperate rooms. The livingroom has a lot of cosy details. The bedroom has a comfortable bed with soft pillows. Wifi was working well.
Gerald is a very friendly, open minded person and he also assists for instant accompany to market. I felt very welcome and it was also no problem to be visited by friends and having Dinner all together. I really had a great time and will book again if staying in Arusha next time. Thanks, Gerald!

Everything was very clean and stylish. Close to the airport. The staff is very nice.

Great breakfast, and Gerald is a very friendly and helpful host.

We were the first guests of 2025 after a long renovation break! We absolutely loved the freshly renovated accommodation – we received a warm welcome and prepared a delicious dinner, which we enjoyed together. The place is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail, and everything you need is available.

Breakfast is freshly prepared and served with delicious juices and fruits. The location is central, making it easy to visit the Cultural Heritage Center on foot, while still being quiet enough to relax and unwind.

We felt completely at home and truly appreciated the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I would love to return on our next visit to Arusha!
