A gateway to Tanzania
November 17, 2022by: Seth Payne - United StatesLike many travelers, my flight arrived in Tanzania late at night. Edward of Amani Hostel was a great help to organize airport transportation, the hostel, and further transportation. Amani hostel is simply what is needed as a traveler or volunteer and the other guest are from all over the world. The guest is often starting or ending their adventures and have advice to give. A great place to spend a few days during your adventures.
My stay in Arusha and unforgettable safari
November 18, 2022by: EMMANUEL MROKI - TanzaniaProgram: 5 Days Camping Safari Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
The hotel is beautiful just a few km from Arusha town Center . The staff are incredibly kind and helpful and were lovely to speak with - giving some insights into the Tanzanian culture and Safari as they also specialise in Safari and Volunteering programs lastly we decided to visit Ngorongoro and Serengeti NP. I cannot review the hotel without mentioning the food. All meals were simply amazing. The kitchen served us many local dishes ( with optional spiciness) and every meal was delicious. I loved learning about the food when I spokes with the waiters who explained everything. The food was so good that I was devastated to leave. I would highly recommend staying here....

What inspired you to travel abroad?
I come from a developing country and my goal was to create or provide something good that can help my fellow Africans. When I joined the team at Amani Hostel, I liked the ideas and goals they set because it was my vision to help others in my country and continent be known by others, through traveling and volunteering.

Meeting new people and building communities has always been in my blood. Becoming aware of the Amani Hostel was awesome and an opportunity for me to accomplish my mission and vision. Before choosing Amani, I worked with many other organizations, but Amani Hostel was the one that aligns with my personal codes and ethics.
