Welcome to Ngulelo Homestay – A true Oasis in Arusha!
Would you like to experience the local culture up close, but without compromising on amenities? Then this comfortable homestay, with its distinctive urban architecture in Arusha, is exactly what you’re looking for.
Meet Your Kanga HostHis father’s name is Joseph, his mother’s name is Mary. Given his parents’ names, the choice was obvious: GODSON!
Meet Godson and his wife, Anitha, along with their three wonderful children – Olivia, and twins Jaylen and Jayoen. The family is of Masai descent but has embraced a modern lifestyle while maintaining a strong bond with their heritage in Arusha.
Your host is not just a passionate, award-winning tour guide, but also an inspiring mentor, always ready to share his high energy and positive attitude. He’s an absolute language talent, making him the ideal host for German-speaking guests. Raised in the neighbourhood, Godson’s family is deeply rooted in the local community, with many relatives nearby. Anitha is an active member of the local Lutheran church choir, adding a warm and musical touch to their home.
Your AccommodationThis Homestay offers a true comfort experience with excellent facilities, including a peaceful courtyard where you can unwind. Although Arusha is a bustling city, this homestay provides the perfect retreat to relax. The homestay is relatively centrally located, making it easy to reach and explore the city center.
Living the Local WayDuring your stay, you might get the chance to join the neighbours for a BBQ or watch a local football match. And when Young Africans (Yanga) and Simba SC face off, the whole country is watching! It’s a great way to connect with the vibrant and friendly community.
While the Maasai are known for their strong tradition of cattle herding, Godson likes to say with a smile: “I’m the only one here without a cow – but my uncle next door? He’s got some, no doubt about that!”
As a tour guide, your host also offers slightly more conventional tourist tours than those typically available at other Kanga Homestays, such as the below-mentioned Maasai Culture Experience.

It was an amazing experience for me, I suggest everyone who would like to have a very cool and different holiday. Sure you will revert to you home with lots of peace.
We arrived very late in the evening at Ngulelo Homestay, Arusha, but that was no problem at all; Godson was very flexible. The next morning, we met the family and some of the host’s friends. We learned some basic Swahili and visited a local market in the afternoon. The next day, we went on the “Maasai Culture Experience” excursion. Highly recommended!
