About this property
Cosy straw bale cottage at the Arusha Giraffe Centre Sanctuary.
This special cottage sits in the middle of the rewilded conservation area that is home to the Arusha Giraffe Centre. Made from hand-tied straw bales, powered by solar energy and surrounded by the constant chatter of birds, this peaceful hideaway is not only the place to escape the humdrum of life but also a perfect stopping point on your way to, or from, a safari. Relax on the verandah, with a coffee or drink in hand, listen to the sounds of the African bush and watch the giraffe pass float by. Only 45 mins away from Arusha but feels like you are deep in the African bush with the sounds of bird life during the day and the stars at night.

About the host
Hosted by nathalie
I grew up in Kenya before finishing school and University in the UK. I worked on various conservation projects in Nepal, South Africa and across Africa before moving to Tanzania to set up the rewilding conservation and wildlife sanctuary that we now call home.
Why they chose this property
We chose the area we live in as it was an over farmed and over grazed patch of land that we wanted to rehabilitate back to Acacia Woodland using regenerative farming techniques. We now have a wonderful area, full of bird life and mammals as well as the giraffe who roam free across the sanctuary.
This is a rare chance to find a piece of wilderness outside a national park where you can be woken up by birdsong and go to sleep with the light of the stars and the moon.
