Cosy straw bale cottage at the Arusha Giraffe Centre Sanctuary.
This special cottage sits in the middle of the rewilded conservation area that is home to the Arusha Giraffe Centre. Made from hand-tied straw bales, powered by solar energy and surrounded by the constant chatter of birds, this peaceful hideaway is not only the place to escape the humdrum of life but also a perfect stopping point on your way to, or from, a safari. Relax on the verandah, with a coffee or drink in hand, listen to the sounds of the African bush and watch the giraffe pass float by. Only 45 mins away from Arusha but feels like you are deep in the African bush with the sounds of bird life during the day and the stars at night.
The cottage features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and a dining table. Limited housekeeping is available.
