About the host
Hosted by Nicholas Harrison
We moved to Arusha from England in 2004. Our aim has always been to regenerate our landscapes.
We love showing our guests our farm and giraffes as well as explaining our philosophy. Putting together bespoke safaris gives us an opportunity to share some of the gems we have found around the country.

Why they chose this property
The farm we bought 16 years ago was exhausted maize fields and set about finding scalable techniques which would generate stable income as well as regenerating the soils.
We are forty minutes from Arusha and a couple of hours from the National Parks so the best of both worlds.
The way mother nature rebuilds the environment is humbling to see, every season there is something different to discover!

What makes this property unique
We are the only bush home in Arusha on farm with wildlife. Our giraffe wander past and guests can take guided walks to see them out on the farm as well as visit the education centre.
We are ideally situated to act as a base for exploring Northern Tanzania or as a jumping off point for safaris further a field.
We would be delighted to assist with safari planning in this amazing country.
