Onsea House - Tanzania

Onsea House is awarded the best place to stay in Arusha * and recommended by several experts** as boutique hotel and hip hideaway in the Arusha/Kilimanjaro region. Enjoy greater comfort and better food than any other guesthouse or restaurant, with more personalized service than in a hotel and more privacy than a lodge resort. Onsea House can be your home base for safaris across northern Tanzania.

The adjacent self contained Guest Cottage, each room with private wooden balconies, can easily accommodate 6 people.

Meru; thé place to relax and rejuvenate before or after a Tanzanian safari and/or a Kilimanjaro climb.
