Description

Ujamaa Hostel is for volunteers and travellers and is located in Arusha, Tanzania. We provide fun, safe, affordable accommodation where you can meet like-minded people, check out the Tanzanian culture and spend time volunteering in the local community. We welcome short-term visitors and travellers to the hostel for 1 night or more.

Ujamaa is the Swahili word for "extended family" or "family hood" which in Africa means that every individual is in service of the community. It is the belief that a community should be based on cooperation and that the advancement of the whole is the foundation for each individual's existence. This ideal is the basis for the "Ujamaa Hostel" where people can come together to share their skills, expertise and enthusiasm with those in need in the local community and have a whole lot of fun while doing it!
