Frequently Asked Questions

We're considering New Way Hotel for our arrival and departure days. What's the best way to use it given its proximity to Arusha National Park?

We love New Way Hotel as a convenient base when you first land or before you fly out. While it's not inside the park itself, we recommend arranging a guided day trip into Arusha National Park directly through the hotel. You can explore the park's stunning Mount Meru slopes and crater floor, then return for a comfortable evening, avoiding a long transfer on your arrival or departure day.

What kind of atmosphere can we expect at New Way Hotel? Is it a rustic safari camp or something more comfortable?

New Way Hotel strikes a lovely balance. We found it offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, a step up from basic camps but still with that authentic safari feel. The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with well appointed rooms perfect for unwinding after a day of travel or exploration.

We're keen on seeing wildlife. Beyond the hotel grounds, what wildlife viewing opportunities are there directly accessible from New Way Hotel?

While New Way Hotel's main draw is its access to Arusha National Park, we've often spotted some delightful smaller creatures right on the hotel grounds. Keep an eye out for various bird species and perhaps even some monkeys in the gardens. For more substantial wildlife encounters, a short drive into Arusha National Park is essential, where you can see buffalo, giraffes, and diverse birdlife.

What are the typical costs we should budget for a stay at New Way Hotel, and what's usually included?

We find that rates at New Way Hotel generally include your accommodation and meals, often offering good value. While specific prices fluctuate, we recommend budgeting in the mid range for Tanzania. It's always wise to confirm directly with the hotel what is included, especially regarding park transfers or guided activities, as these are typically additional costs.

When is the best time of year to visit the Arusha region and stay at New Way Hotel for optimal weather and wildlife viewing?

We love visiting the Arusha region during the dry seasons, from January to February and June to October. During these months, the weather is typically sunny and pleasant, making exploration of Arusha National Park much more enjoyable. The landscapes are beautiful, and wildlife is often easier to spot as they congregate around water sources.
