Katambuga House lies on the edge of Mringa Coffee Estate in Arusha, Tanzania, with gorgeous, panoramic views of Mount Meru. It opened its doors in 2017, positioned as the perfect 'home-away-from-home' for weary travellers. A destination in its own right, and a springboard for an epic North Tanzanian safari. Bring your family and your friends as the main house has four spacious ensuite bedrooms, and a nearby family cottage features an additional two ensuite rooms. Marvel at the intriguing African photography and art that adorns the walls or take a dip in the large pool surrounded by wide open spaces.
Wake up to the gentle glow of morning sun on the covers that cocoon you on the large, comfortable beds. All six of the spacious and airy bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms, modern amenities and a ceiling fan for hot days and nights. Understated, neutral decor is punctuated with original African photographs and art, showcasing the 'wild side' of Tanzania and its neighbouring countries - and, depending on your itinerary, offering a glimpse of sites to come.
Katambuga House is owned by Entara which is dedicated to conserving wilderness and wildlife through intimate safari experiences with a light ecological footprint. Drawn from marginalised communities, their guides enrich guest experiences with local knowledge. Entara challenges industry norms by offering internships to women and indigenous community members. With a commitment to local empowerment and fair business practices, Entara strives to positively impact both conservation efforts and grassroots economies.
