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

Sakina Campsite is a small lovely place. It is placed outside of Arusha but the town is easily reachable. The couple at the place are very lovely and helpful with whatever problem you might have. There are different kinds of room, all of them are really nice (I tried three differents). It is a great and trusthworthy place. If you... More

We stayed at Sakina for 3 nights. Room was nice and clean and the staff is excellent and helpful. Jennifer washed our laundry and Robert helped us a lot! He arranged a 3 days safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro and a one day trip to Kilimanjaro for us. I most definitely recommend Sakina Campsite for anyone whose visiting Arusha (and... More

We also booked 2-days safari through Robert and that was fantastic. Rooms were basic with mosquito-nets and comfy beds. Easy to take cheap dalla dalla to citycenter. 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
