About This Accommodation

Banana Farm Eco Hostel offers a peaceful farm stay in Arusha, surrounded by banana plants, greenery and a river running through the property.

Whether you are preparing for a Tanzania safari or unwinding after your wildlife adventure, the hostel provides a relaxed setting to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. Its character comes from the farm itself: fresh produce, homemade breakfasts and opportunities to learn about local life.

A Peaceful Farm Stay in Arusha

The setting is one of the main attractions of Banana Farm Eco Hostel. Nestled within a banana plantation, the property brings guests close to the everyday sights and sounds of a working farm. Green surroundings and the river create an inviting environment for travellers who enjoy spending time outdoors.

A stay here offers more than somewhere to sleep. It is an opportunity to step away from a busy travel schedule, enjoy the natural surroundings and gain an insight into Tanzanian traditions and the local way of life.

For visitors looking for an eco-friendly hostel in Arusha, Banana Farm combines a farm setting with a warm, informal atmosphere.

Fresh Farm Breakfasts and Flexible Meal Plans

Breakfast is a memorable part of the Banana Farm experience. Mornings begin with a selection of farm products and homemade dishes, which may include eggs, fresh milk, jams, pancakes, sweet potatoes, samosas and fruit, accompanied by tea or coffee from the farm.

It is a pleasant way to start the day, whether you are heading out to explore Arusha or enjoying a slower morning at the property.

The hostel offers three meal-plan options:

  • Bed and breakfast: accommodation with breakfast.
  • Half board: accommodation with breakfast and one additional main meal.
  • Full board: accommodation with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

These options allow you to choose a stay that fits your travel plans. Confirm the selected meal plan and any dietary requirements when booking.

Experience Local Life and Tanzanian Hospitality

Banana Farm Eco Hostel invites guests to discover the local way of life through its farm environment and welcoming atmosphere. For travellers interested in culture as well as wildlife, this adds another dimension to a Tanzania holiday.

The property’s appeal lies in everyday experiences: enjoying fresh farm food, spending time among the banana plants and learning more about the community and traditions around you.

Couples, families, friends and independent travellers who enjoy informal accommodation and natural surroundings may find this a rewarding addition to their itinerary.

Staying Before or After Your Tanzania Safari

A stay at Banana Farm Eco Hostel can form part of an Arusha stop before or after your safari. Time here gives you an opportunity to rest after travelling, settle into your holiday or reflect on your wildlife experiences before continuing your journey.

Tanzania Safari Experience can help incorporate the property into your travel plans and arrange the necessary transfers. Your arrival time, onward journey and safari departure schedule will help determine how many nights work best.

    Great Tanzanian vacation

    We toured with Tanzania Safari Experience for an eight day trip to Tanzania. Five days of safari and then three days of beach vacation in Zanzibar. They were great to work with and customized everything exactly the way we wanted it. The lodges we were booked in were all incredible, particularly the Lahia Tented Lodge in the Serengeti. Our driver, Jay, seemed to know every road in every national park and as a result the wildlife viewing was unparalleled. There were times where we were the only vehicle seeing lions or hippos. The owner, Laurent, was extremely responsive and any issues we had in-country with our logistics were immediately sorted by him. He genuinely wanted us to have a first-rate experience. The only thing we were unprepared for is that some of the days in the safari vehicle were very long (10+ hours) and the roads can be really rough. But there were plenty of cold drinks in the car and it was worth it to see the wildlife. The safari/beach split was a great way to do the vacation and the beaches of Zanzibar were beautiful with clear blue water.

    Safari May 2026

    This company exceeded everything we’d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered — a detailed itinerary laid out well in advance, quick responses to any questions, and a genuine attentiveness that made the whole thing feel effortless. The accommodation was seriously impressive. Not what I was expecting at all — comfortable, well-appointed, and luxurious. We also spent time right in the heart of the bush. A proper treat. The two people who really made this trip were our guide Mariki and photographer Agnes. Mariki’s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else — he always seemed to know exactly where to go, and his instincts paid off every single time. Agnes has a brilliant eye and captured shots we could never have got ourselves. As for the wildlife — we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos — the lot. As a first safari, I couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation.

    Great Experience with Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Safari Experience, and honestly the whole trip was put together really well by Laurent and his team. From our first message to the last day, they were easy to reach, quick to reply, and clear about everything. The plan made sense, the timing was smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about anything. Uncle J was a big part of what made it special. He knows the parks incredibly well and seems to notice things before anyone else. He’d position the vehicle perfectly for photos and often got us to sightings before the crowds built up. We were lucky to see [your highlights: migration / lions / cheetahs / elephants / a crossing], and every drive felt exciting and different. The vehicle was comfortable and in good shape, and everything ran on schedule. If you’re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, I’d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.
