Green Stay

Meet Your Kanga HostsYour hosts, Hilda and her parents-in-law, Beda and Gaudencia, are excited to share their home with you. Hilda, the executive director of a nearby NGO, and her family are always welcoming and happy to share stories about their life, the community, and the fascinating Chaga culture. Hilda’s three children often join the fun on weekends, adding to the lively, family-friendly atmosphere of Green Stay.

Your AccommodationGuests stay in a chic, high-standard house, while Beda and Gaudencia live in a more rustic home right next door. Green Stay’s garden is full of life, with chickens, sheep, and pigs, reflecting the traditional way of farming. The lush garden, filled with a variety of plants, invites you to actively participate in gardening and the daily care of the animals. If the weather is clear, you can even catch a glimpse of the towering Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance – an unforgettable sight!

Taste Local TraditionsWill you cook a delicious vegetarian or meat stew in the modern kitchen? Or would you prefer to try the traditional way, cooking over firewood? The choice is yours! And if you stay a few nights you can try both!

Don’t miss the opportunity to taste locally brewed banana beer, a staple of Chaga culture. Join the locals and pass the bucket around in the spirit of friendship.

NGO projects and Day TripsDuring your stay, you have the exceptional opportunity to learn firsthand about the facilities and projects of a local Non-Governmental Organization, including their hospital, school, office, and church. From Moshi, numerous popular excursions are available, such as visits to the Materuni Waterfalls or the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, offering a chance to enjoy the beauty of the region and engage with the local community.
