Read what guests think of their stay at Stasumo Safari & Lodge!
Cecile was very welcoming and chatty, Marley was friendly and an amazing cook! We requested dinner in the evening (which I would strongly recommend) and it was super tasty and they kindly catered for dietary needs (pescatarian). The breakfast was plentiful too, fresh fruit, bread with condemnation, hot drinks and we chose to have a spaniel omelette. The bed was comfy and the shower was powerful (ideal post safari dust). The garden is peaceful with plenty of seating areas to relax. We spent most of the following day laying on the day bed reading. They also offer an in-house taxi service which is super convenient and it is a short drive to Arusha airport.
We started our journey with Cecile and Marley and stayed here for 4 nights. From the beginning we felt more than welcome. A beautiful house with beautiful garden and lovely swing bed, sitting area and pool. Everything in the same style with beautiful accessories. Breakfast and dinner were delicious! They were tremendously helpful and nothing was too much to ask. Also nice that Arusha is a great place to go from here to e.g. Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro, Manyara or the hot springs of Moshi. And also these trips can be booked through Stasumo by Cecile and Marley, ideal. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and laughed insanely much! Therefore, exhausted after an 8-day safari, we settled here again for 2 nights. This guesthouse is highly recommended. Cecile and Marley, thanks for the kind care and cozy time with you xx
Everything was great! Excellent dinner and breakfast. Cecile and Marly are such great hosts, very polite which made you feel more than welcome. Great pool/bar and relaxing outdoor area. The cute dog Kilimanjaro made it even better. Thank you! We will come back.
Beautiful house with lovely garden and pool. Cozy and very helpful people. Fine location, outside the busy center, where you can relax. You can also do a safari with them. We had already arranged those. Delicious food and not expensive. Good breakfast! Delicious avocados from their own garden, lots of fresh fruit and eggs on request. In short, everything perfectly arranged!
What a wonderful place you have in Arusha. We enjoyed your hospitality and delicious food! Greetings Niek and Elske
It was a very nice stay with Cecile and Marley. Marley picked us up at Arusha airport, about 30 minutes by car. And we were warmly and hospitably received by Cecile. We had a nice beer under the veranda overlooking an attractively lit garden. Our son was able to relax in the hammock. Marley even drove with us to the ATM, nice service. Further clean rooms, with in the large room even a very large bed and spacious shower. Breakfast was delicious, even Dutch sprinkles 😉 and delicious avocado from their own garden.
The whole experience was great, from the pickup at the airport, to the breakfast, the relaxness of the people who work there (Michael, Marley and Cecile ( I could just talk Dutch in the heart of Arusha!), Kili and mzungu (2 dogs of the house, the hospitality, no question too much, the rooms, nice shower, garden and pool! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a well cared for, relaxed, affordable, private stay in Arusha!
Cecile and Marley are great hosts, and helped us get around Arusha. Homey atmosphere. Would recommend.
