Guesthouse Mazzola Safari House & Backpacking
12673 Arusha, Arusha, Tanzania – Great location - show map
The house is super cute with a garden and a dog. The owner is so nice he helped me order food. this place is super clean even with the shared bathrooms no problem. Rooms are quite comfortable.

The hosts were so welcoming when I arrived. They assisted me with everything. From where to go, prices, and transportation. Thus far on my excursion here in Tanzania I have stayed at four different locations. From high end to mediocre, and Mazzola Safari house takes the cake. Prior to coming here I felt like a chicken with it's head cut off. Not knowing who to ask about this or that or who to trust. Man, but these guys are Angels (for real) I booked for one night and I am still here several days later and probably more. At the moment I am camping overnight in their beautiful garden with their awesome, cool and very playful dog Castro who is keeping me company. Seriously, I can go on and on and on. You just have to come and see for yourself. Trust me you won't regret it. Peace and blessings

Its a local guesthouse, so if you a traveller, i would recommend you to stay in Mazzola! The property is Nice and clean. The location is a bit hard to reach if you do it alone, but just text to Innocent and he will explain it good to you/your driver or he could also pick you up!

The atmosphere and the good ambiance. We spent one night before going to our safari and we really liked it. So we came back after the safari for another night to rest before heading to Zanzibar

Innocent and Steve are very good and welcoming hosts. The property is very well located for safari departures.

Highly recommended place on the edge of Arusha with a green and spacious garden. Host is always willing to assist with whatever you need (advice on Safari, SIM cards, local restaurants and more). I just sent this message to the host: "Thanks for everything bro, really love your place! Will definitely be back (around the 20th probably)". Need I say more...

The staff are too notch, Steve the chef cooks delicious & lovely dishes; Gerry is so kind and engaging in conversation; Innocent (the owner & manager) truly has made the place very much a home feel. The artwork supporting local artists, the garden with separate covered lounge space, the colorful decor, the common area/ living room with music playing (or if anyone is interested in watching t.v. all add to the chillax ambiance. Castro, the adorable German Shepard is the sweetest of k9 😉

Although we did not have breakfast we were in a hurry the following morning but looking at the facilities they have the breakfast must be great.

The facility was really good and the place is super comfortable with cute dog too! They also can offer you good price for safari tour!

Innocent and his dog Castro are awesome. I spent time with him just about every day going into town for dinner and shopping. He was awesome to hang out with and full of knowledge. I used his safari recommendations etc and it saved me a lot of time and the safari was excellent. I also booked my kilaminjaro trip through him as well.
