I reviewed this hostel after staying there last summer, I just wanted to update that the showers in the main building were fixed, so staying in either building is fine. We returned to Arusha this April to do a safari in the Serengeti, and we were so happy to stay at Sakina Campsite again before and after safari. Our now... More

I stayed one night with the intention of staying two more when I returned from safari. However, I changed my mind mostly due to the lack of a/c. It was OK with the windows open, but there were no screens so it was either mosquitos or heat. However, the owner, Robert, actually walked me to a neighboring hotel (4Js) and... More

Sakina Campsite must be the best place to stay in Arusha. Nice rooms, nice garden, nice breakfast and the nicest people running the place. Robert will help you with everything you might need: airport pick-up, getting the Daladala into town, finding a place for dinner and so much more. The most wonderful place where you will feel just like at... More

Roberts prepared a good big breakfast... More

We stayed at Sakina Campsite for 8 nights. Actually, we planned to stay here for 3 nights, but because of the very friendly staff, Robert and Jennifer, we decided to stay longer. On our first day Robert gave us a very warm welcome, including a lunch and a lot of information about Tanzania. He also arranged a 5-day safari for... More

I highly recommend planning your safari ahead of time with Robert Lawrence and staying at Sakina campsite hostel. The safari Robert arranged for me was excellent with a good driver and guide who knew all the wildlife, birds, and trees, and a good cook. Robert made sure I got the trip I wanted at a price I could afford. Some... More
