Hatua is a place to stay, a way to explore and an invitation to slow down.
From our quiet hilltop sanctuary in Kisongo, Arusha, we create spaces and experiences that bring you closer to nature, local life and the places that make Tanzania special.
Whether you are staying with us for a weekend, joining an experience for the day, or heading beyond Arusha, Hatua is about taking a step away from the ordinary.

A quiet hilltop sanctuary in Kisongo, Arusha — created for slow mornings,

Explore Beyond Hatua
Perched above Arusha in Kisongo, Hatua Hilltop Sanctuary is a private space for slowing down, reconnecting and enjoying the landscape at your own pace.
Hatua is for the weekend that needs to feel longer, the morning that does not need to be rushed, and the space between one journey and the next.
Come for the views. Stay for the quiet. Leave with a little more room to breathe.
You do not have to leave the hilltop to experience Tanzania differently. Join us for simple, thoughtful experiences rooted in local life, nature, food and wellbeing.
When you are ready to explore further, we curate day journeys and local experiences beyond the hilltop — designed around the places, people and landscapes worth discovering.
You do not have to stay at Hatua to experience Hatua. Our experiences are available to both guests staying with us and travelers simply looking for something different to do in and around Arusha.
Because every journey begins with a step.
Sometimes it is a step away from the familiar. Sometimes it is a step toward nature. Sometimes it is a step toward rest. And sometimes it is simply a step outside your usual routine.
Hatua is our invitation to take that step.
