“Blue Elephant Villas offers a tranquil retreat a bit removed from Arusha's center, where the quiet is notable despite its proximity to a main road. The staff shines, remembered for their helpfulness and excellent omelettes, and the gardens provide a peaceful backdrop, complete with cuddly resident dogs. I think it is a particularly good choice for those seeking a personal touch.”
