ZONDELA BOUTIQUE HOUSE

Where elegance meets tranquility

Hidden away in the quiet hills of Kambi Chupa, just eight kilometres from Arusha town, Zondela House welcomes travellers to a haven where nature, culture, and comfort exist in perfect harmony. Built from hand-fired red bricks and surrounded by lush gardens, Zondela’s earthy architecture whispers a story of place. One rooted in Tanzania’s timeless beauty and generous spirit.

From the moment you arrive, you feel it; the soft rhythm of birds at dawn, the gentle mountain air, the warmth of people who make you feel at home. Take in sweeping views of Mount Meru from our rooftop lounge, watch the distant silhouette of Kilimanjaro on clear mornings, and savour dishes crafted from ingredients grown right here in our own greenhouse.

Zondela is not just a stay, it’s a feeling. A peaceful pause between the world’s great adventures.

What a Surprise We spent 2 nights here after travelling 24 hrs for our safari holiday. We were really worried as the car driving thru to get here. But as you enter the gates this boutique hotel & its staff greets you. What a surprise the place is beautiful, the restaurant & huge terrace on the 3rd flr offers magnificent views of city & mountains Kilimanjaro & Meru. The rooms were great size & big bathrooms, soap & shampoo pumps in shower, hand soaps & toothbrushes were provided. The room has a small kettle, selection of teas & coffees. The bed was comfortable & bedding felt luxurious. There’s a pool w lounge chairs, towels provided but the water was really cold when we were there. The staff was so accommodating alway checking if everything is ok. The area is super quiet & there 24 hr security.

First experience of Tanzania My girlfriend and i were here on our first day in Tanzania. First we got a warm welcome and a perfect explanation from the lady who's name is Happiness. We had a good lunch and a very nice dinner, we got served by Maureen who was very kind and polite. The food was great. The room was also very good, great bed and lovely shower. We would definitely come back here!

Absolut empfehlenswert !!! Auf unserer Rundreise durch Tansania war unsere erste Station das Zondela House. Schon der erste Eindruck war sehr erfreulich. Das Haus, unser Zimmer sowie das Restaurant waren stilvoll eingerichtet. Wir wurden freundlich mit einem BegrüßungsgetrΓ€nk und Erfrischungstuch in Empfang genommen und die Koffer direkt auf unser Zimmer gebracht. Das Restaurant ist ebenfalls hervorzuheben. Die KΓΌche bereitet Γ€ußerst schmackhafte Speisen zu und wir hΓ€tten gern diesen ausgezeichneten Service lΓ€nger in Anspruch genommen. Aber auf Grund unserer geplanten Weiterreise war es uns leider nicht mΓΆglich. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team fΓΌr den netten herzlichen Aufenthalt. Wir kΓΆnnen das Haus wΓ€rmstens empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder. Alles Gute fΓΌr die Zukunft πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°. Matthias und Karina aus Deutschland

A home away from home We absolutely loved our stay at Zondela House. The room was very beautiful, the food delicious and the view from the rooftop bar was amazing! The pool was very nice and refreshing after a day of activities. The staff was also really nice, we felt very welcome and enjoyed the conversations. Happiness, Maureen and Ombene made us feel really at home, we would recommend this hotel to anyone who needs a place to stay in Arusha!
