accommodation

arusha coffee lodge

Designed around the original plantation houses but completely renovated to achieve the highest standards of comfort, the decor is luxuriant and stylish with undertones of the bygone days of early exploration.

marangu hotel

This beautifully situated hotel, on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, stands in twelve acres of mature, well laid out gardens. It has a fine variety of exotic trees and flowering shrubs. From the gardens there are magnificent views to be had of Kilimanjaro.The hotel takes its name from the surrounding area. "Marangu" means "full of water" in the local Chagga language, and the lush green surroundings demonstrate the truth of this.

This is a family-run business, with the consequent attention to detail one expects. The hotel is renowned for its well-prepared menu, using vegetables from its own gardens and home baked bread. A range of wines is always available.

hatari lodge

Hatari Lodge is located in one of Africa’s most beautiful and diverse national parks, where the worlds highest free standing mountain, Kilimanjaro rises majestically 5,892 metres into the blue skies above. The lodge consists of three buildings beautifully situated in acacia woodland with breathtaking views of lakes and craters, magical rain forests, and the 4,566 metre high dormant volcano Mount Meru, rising elegantly in the background. At the very heart of this unique lodge are the traditional farm buildings, which were used by the legendary actor Hardy Krüger, and his former manager, Jim Mallory. The lodge offers 10 extremely comfortably furnished rooms, each with an open fireplace and a spacious bathroom en suite. Each room has been lovingly decorated by Marlies in a retro style, evoking the 60’s and 70’s - the time of "Hatari!" and the beginning of safaris in Tanzania.
