In the Green Hills of Arusha
Banana Farm is located in Ambureni Village, in the peaceful green hills of Arusha, Northern Tanzania. Set right beside the river and surrounded by trees, gardens and farmland, the farm feels a world away from the noise and busy streets of the city.
Yet we are still close enough to Arusha town to make a convenient base for exploring the area — just 9 km from the Clock Tower in central Arusha and around 20 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
From Banana Farm, you can easily explore Arusha, Mount Meru, Kilimanjaro and the many attractions of Northern Tanzania, then return to the peace and quiet of the farm.
Finding us is easy — simply search for “Banana Farm Eco Hostel” on Google Maps and follow the directions.
Come up into the hills, slow down beside the river and enjoy a quieter side of Arusha.
