Arusha moves at a slower pace than larger East African cities, though its streets stay busy with local businesses, safari operators, cafés, and transportation activity throughout the day. The surrounding neighborhood feels urban but approachable.
The area stays active during the day with local traffic, tour vehicles, and travelers moving between safari bookings and city errands. Evenings generally feel calmer, especially around residential streets.

Comfort of the bed, Location
I had a good time at Wakawaka, especially in connection with the friendliness of the staff and owner here. The ambiance was very personal and familial, they were very supportive in recommending things to do and to help with things I needed done.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was just right for me and my husband to stay a few nights and explore the city. The rooms were clean and simple but all we needed!
Such a warm welcoming from David in his house! He made us fell at home and part of his family straight away! We had some bad luck but he was here to help and support us.We'll be back without any hesitation if we have the chance to come back.Thanks again for welcoming as you did in your family!
