New Safari Hotel

Arusha


Once the favourite of white hunters and their tall tales from the African bush, the New Safari was reborn in 2004 and is the pick of the central midrange options. Rooms are generally large, have tiled floors, and boast a touch of class in the decor. The hotel's also within walking distance of just about anything in the centre.
