White House of Tanzania

The White House of Tanzania is Arusha’s social basecamp for safari, Kilimanjaro and adventure. Meet fellow travelers, find your safari or hiking crew, enjoy our lively restaurant and bar, and make White House your home before and after exploring Tanzania. Solo travelers welcome – come for the adventure, stay for the people.

Whether you arrive solo, with friends or as a couple, this is a place designed to make meeting people easy. Travelers come here before and after their safaris and mountain climbs, share plans, exchange stories and often find new friends to continue their journey with. If you’re traveling solo, don’t worry about arriving without a group – this is exactly the kind of place where groups naturally form.

Your Basecamp for Safari & the Mountains
Planning a safari? Climbing Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru? Looking for a day trip around Arusha? Our team can help you plan your adventure, arrange transport and connect you with safari and trekking options. It makes White House an easy place to stay before your trip – and an even better place to come back to afterwards.

Come for the Adventure, Stay for the People
The heart of White House is its social atmosphere. Our restaurant and bar bring travelers together for good food, drinks and those random conversations that sometimes turn into tomorrow’s adventure.
Around the hostel you’ll find comfortable social spaces, a garden, games including pool, table tennis and darts, and plenty of places to relax between adventures. Some evenings are chilled, others become the kind of night you didn’t plan – that’s part of the White House experience.
We offer both shared dorms and private rooms, so you can choose your own level of comfort without missing out on the hostel atmosphere.
Perfect for solo travelers, backpackers, safari-goers, Kilimanjaro hikers and anyone looking to meet other travelers while exploring Tanzania.
Tanzania may be the reason you came. The people you meet here might be the reason you remember it.
The White House of Tanzania – your home between adventures.
