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. Experience the calm African-Colonial setting, with tastefully decorated rooms with four poster beds, mosquito nets and en-suite bathrooms.
The outdoor Jacuzzi and private floodlit swimming pool with lawn bar are the perfect place to prepare or recover in style from your safari or mountain climbing adventure.
The new Machweo Wellness Retreat & Fine Dining offers the finest spa & wellness facilities including steam bath, sauna and additional separate swimming pool. The beautiful main building houses also 3 double honeymoon suites with luxury bathroom with both bathtub and walk in shower. The accommodation further consists of 6 cottage suites, lavishly furnished and ideally positioned for maximum privacy, featuring separate sitting and living area, each accommodating up to 3 guests. All 9 new rooms offer top class amenities and a private balcony and have amazing views on sunset (= machweo in Swahili) and Mount Meru.
Since the 1st of October 2011, the new restaurant offers more space and privacy and a separate entrance and parking for outside guests. Dining, lunch and breakfast areas are both inside and outside and away from the guest rooms. Next to the renown daily chef’s recommendations, there is a limited à la carte menu to fit every desire. Taste the freshly made brasserie dishes accompanied by the finest specially selected wines. Their Michelin experienced Belgian chef prepares a fusion of exquisite European and African delights based on seasonal specialties. Just call or email to book a table for brunch, lunch, evening with friends or that special candlelight dinner occasion.
Onsea House and Machweo are perched on a hill providing unparalleled panoramic views across the Maasai steppe, Monduli Mountains and unrivalled spectacle of Mt. Meru; thé place to relax and rejuvenate before or after a Tanzanian safari and/or a Kilimanjaro climb. Discover this idyllic setting for spectacular sundowners and a truly African rural feel only 7 minutes drive from Arusha town centre and 30 minutes from Kilimanjaro International Airport.
The Belgian owners are happy to share their in-depth local knowledge. They can provide tips on cultural visits around Arusha and community development projects, including the iThemba Baraa Primary School initiative with 1450 pupils which are supported in the neighborhood.

Ol Malo - Kenya
Situated on the northern edge of the Laikipia plateau, Ol Malo is
nestled into a rugged escarpment looking out across the time-honoured
lands of Kenya’s Northern Frontier District. Built, owned and managed by
the Francombe family, with the help of the Samburu people, Ol Malo has
established a reputation for first class service and tireless attention
to detail. Rocky and Colin have been welcoming guests into their home
for over 16 years.
Their son Andrew has joined them at the helm and is proving to be particularly popular with families as his sense of adventure and endless energy makes every guest’s experience unique. Every room in the intimate four bedroom lodge and beautiful 6 bedroom house is individually decorated, blending traditional local style with luxurious hand woven furnishings and thoughtful touches – a home away from home. Each spacious room has an ensuite bathroom and cascading shower, an oversize hot tub and private verandah There is no shortage of activities available at Ol Malo and each visit is tailor made to fit every guest.
The surrounding plains and valleys are teaming with game and provide regular sightings of wild dog and the elusive leopard is seen daily from the hide by the water hole. At Ol Malo, guests are encouraged to experience Kenya beyond the game viewing vehicle; walking and watching herds of elephant, riding with the rare grevy zebra and reticulated giraffe or trekking through the ancient Samburu lands with camels. Fly-camping on the shores of the river, listening to the Francombe’s stories of Kenya’s bygone age is an experience not to be missed.

Okavango Horse Safaris - Botswana
Founded by PJ and Barney Bestelink in 1986, this was the first riding
Safaris Company in Southern Africa. The focus is a journey through the
diverse landscape of the Okavango Delta and understanding of the
ecosystem in this truly incomparable area. In offering a riding safari
with OHS you are guaranteed a pristine wilderness with unique
landscapes.
The concept of riding this area is very special, as horses wade through the shallow waters, swim through rivers, placing guests in areas unspoilt by human footprint. On horseback the experience of approaching wildlife and exploring the Delta places the rider at one with nature. The interaction between wildlife and horses is a natural relationship and every encounter is unique. Cantering through the floodwaters alongside the elephant motion of a giraffe is an experience that will never be forgotten.
Our specialised team of horses are classed within the industry as the best safari horses in the world, care is taken to match horse and rider, with top quality tack, excellent standard of guiding, personal attention and high standards of accommodation. We use 3 camps, Kujwana, luxury en-suite tents raised on teak deckings under fabulous natural canopy, Mokolwane, 2 metre high treehouses along the edge of the Matsibe River and Qwaapo Camp overlooking a beautiful hippo lagoon.
The remote camps are accessed by helicopter, based in private concession areas of over 2500 sq. kilometres. Apart of the main attraction of exploring on horses, guests will also experience the delta from mokoro, on foot and game drives with night drives. We take a maximum of 8 guests on 5, 7 or 10 night safari options and non-riders can be accommodated. This company is committed to responsible tourism, staff development and the protection of the Okavango Delta.
