Victoria&Alex Vaknin- welcome to Tanzania !
Our cozy 2-storey house by the river in a beautiful quiet village near the city of Arusha. There are localy shops and stalls nearby where you can buy food if you wish and visit a coffee plantation. What to do in area- visit our web Arushadaytours At any time, our assistant will bring everything you want from the city and fulfill any of your requests. The house has 2 floors, on each floor there is an independent loft suite, with an equipped kitchen, a dressing room, a bathroom with a shower, a dining and sitting area, a large bed and a bathtub, a terrace with garden furniture - everything you need for a quiet holiday amid the noise of small waterfalls, surrounded by a garden and colorful birds.You can go down the path 20 meters to the river and take a walk along the river bottom surrounded by tropical trees. There is the possibility of an extra bed. There is also a washing machine. Our restaurant on the lake is located 10 minutes' drive from the house, where you can have a great lunch, go boating on the lake, walk through the forest around the lake or take a bike ride to the waterfalls of Mount Meru.
We are a loving couple who moved to Tanzania because we really love the nature and animals of Africa! We built this house in a picturesque and quiet location, which is just 10 minutes drive from Arusha. The house is located in a village, nearby there are shops and restaurants, lodges and hotels. The house is surrounded by a garden of avocado, banana, papaya, guava and many different flowers. Birds sing here all day long and sometimes monkeys come. The sound of the river can be heard in the house all day long. That's why we chose this place. You can walk along the shallow river, surrounded by tropical trees and vines. Just 6 km from the house is the volcanic lake Dulyuti, on the shore of which we built a small outdoor restaurant. There you can take a boat ride, ride a bike or walk through the forest and meet many birds and even monkeys. In the restaurant we prepare a variety of international cuisine, many vegetarian dishes, grilled meat, etc., which you can order for dinner if you wish and it will be delivered to your home. We adore Africa, the animals and people here - that’s why we chose to live here. We know everything here and can help you organize many different excursions - both day trips in the Arusha area and safari tours in the famous reserves of Tanzania.
The house is located in one of the most picturesque places near the city of Arusha. In a quiet village, the house is surrounded by a garden of tropical trees and many birds living here. A river rumbles 20 meters away, and monkeys live on the opposite bank. Shops and various shops are within walking distance, restaurants and local pubs, vegetable fields and coffee plantations, churches and schools - all this will help you penetrate into the very heart of Tanzania - experience the life of its local residents and, if desired, even visit all these places. Just a 5-minute drive is already on the main highways - the city of Arusha, the city of Moshe and you can get to Arusha in just 10 minutes.
