The Reset

Pressure is inevitable.
Burnout is optional.

We arrange the Reset, so you return sharper, lighter, rested. A weekend in Arusha arranged from the moment you leave the office: the flight or the drive, a lodge on a coffee estate, the spa, the saddle, a bath already drawn.

Where you could stay

Stays you can feel

We do not sell you a lodge name. Choose the feeling; every photo has a reference. Send it to your concierge and we check dates, price it and hold it for you.

Every journey helps keep a child in school.

$25 from every Barafu traveller goes to The Little Oasis Foundation, our own registered charity, to keep children in school around Moshi and Arusha. Its first year pays for uniforms, books, school meals and clean water at one partner school.
