Overview
Set against the majestic backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, African Amini Maasai Lodge lies just outside the vibrant Moshi Town, a gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. This intimate retreat is enveloped by sprawling acacia-dotted plains, where the rhythm of nature pulses through every sunrise and starlit night. Nearby, the lush slopes of Kilimanjaro beckon adventurers, while the wildlife-rich plains of Amboseli National Park, just across the border, promise thrilling encounters with elephant herds and grazing antelope.
The lodge itself is a harmonious blend of Maasai tradition and contemporary comfort, with earthy tones and handcrafted furnishings evoking a sense of timeless elegance. Guests are welcomed into a warm, community-inspired atmosphere, where every detail—from the flickering lanterns to the Maasai-guided experiences—celebrates the region’s cultural heritage. Embark on exhilarating game drives, savor bush dinners under a canopy of stars, or join a guided walking safari to uncover the secrets of the savanna. For the ultimate perspective, a hot-air balloon ride at dawn reveals the vastness of the landscape. Easily accessible via a short flight from Dar es Salaam or Arusha to Kilimanjaro International Airport, followed by a scenic drive, the lodge is a perfect base for exploring Tanzania’s wild wonders.
