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. With simple rooms, eco cabins and a welcoming atmosphere, it is a charming choice for travellers who want to enjoy nature and experience a quieter side of Tanzania.

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.

Accommodation at Banana Farm Eco Hostel

Banana Farm Eco Hostel offers simple, comfortable rooms and eco cabins suited to different types of travellers. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with friends or with your family, there are several room configurations to consider:

  • Single rooms for solo travellers.
  • Double rooms for two guests.
  • Triple rooms for groups of three.
  • Quad rooms for four guests.

When planning your stay, Tanzania Safari Experience can help you request a room arrangement that matches your group, subject to availability.

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.

Tanzania - Safari - Experience

An unforgettable safari – thank you, Laurent and Praygod! We booked a nine-day private safari with Tanzania Safari Experience and could not have been happier. From the very first message to the end of our trip, we felt incredibly well looked after. Planning everything with Laurent was a pleasure. We had plenty of questions, and he always replied so quickly, with friendly, detailed and helpful answers. He listened to our wishes and made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. Our guide, Praygod, made the experience truly special. He was such a pleasant person to spend our days with: knowledgeable, well organised and always happy to share insights about the animals and the Serengeti. We could really tell how much effort he put into making every day memorable. Laurent’s recommendation to spend an extra night in the northern Serengeti also worked out wonderfully for us. We enjoyed so many amazing wildlife sightings, and on our final safari day we experienced the most emotional highlight of all: a river crossing at the Mara River! It was an extraordinary moment and the perfect finale to our safari. Our camps and lodges deserve a special mention as well. All the places we stayed were excellent, with lovely rooms / tents and very comfortable beds. The food was delicious throughout the trip and even the packed lunches on our game drives were great. We felt very well looked after at every stop. Thank you, Laurent and Praygod, for the wonderful memories. For us, this safari was perfect, and we would happily book with Tanzania Safari Experience again!

We had Kunda as a guide and what can I say? He was so devoted to his job, we loved every second, he has such big knowledge of the wilderness in Tanzania and beyond and he always added the right touch of irony to keep us laughing during the 5 day safari with him! Totally recommend, thanks a million Kunda 🙏 Also, during our planning and booking we asked sooooo many questions to Laurent and he was always there to support us with our interrogations and make the best to make our dream vacation as true as it could be. Thank you for everything guys! You did really an awesome job and we will remember this trip for a lifetime 🤗
