There are transit, charmless, cities and transit, service, hotels that act as a buffer between an international flight and the beginning of an exploration, and are forgotten soon. Arusha is different. It already is full Africa, travel, observation, disconnection from the West world. Machweo is our beautiful African gardened house in Arusha. Namasi Hill. 1400 metres above sea level. Machweo overlooks a portion of a subtropical hill that never sleeps, and every morning breakfast is a love prayer to the generous autochthonous nature. Cock-a-doodle-doo, birds singing, village activities, avocado trees, banana plantations, papaya, passion fruit.  Belgian Chef Axel and his brigade are well known for their refined brasserie pervaded by the scent of local ingredients.
