📍 About the location

The project is located in Engosengiu street at Sinoni Ward; Arusha - Tanzania., Arusha is approximately 12 hours by bus from Dar es Salaam or 1 hours by flight. Arusha is located in the Northern of Tanzania, very closed to all the main National Parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara). The climate is much colder than Dar Es Salaam; the city is small, but always full of tourists as all Safaris start from Arusha.

There are plenty of western restaurants and cafes in the town.

Kilimanjaro Mountain, the tallest mountain in Africa, is also easily accessible from Arusha.
