Overview
Nestled on the outskirts of vibrant Arusha City, Arusha Coffee Lodge is a sanctuary of elegance tucked within one of Tanzania’s largest coffee plantations. Surrounded by rolling foothills that cascade from the majestic Mount Meru, this lodge offers a serene escape just moments from the bustling safari capital. The nearby Arusha National Park, a treasure trove of ecosystems from montane forests to crater lakes, beckons with opportunities to spot colobus monkeys, flamingos, and elusive leopards. The lodge’s prime location makes it an ideal haven for unwinding before or after your Tanzanian safari adventure.
The lodge exudes a refined yet welcoming charm, blending colonial-inspired aesthetics with modern comforts. Think mocha-hued woods, latte-colored linens, and the faint aroma of freshly roasted coffee wafting through the air. Guests can embark on exhilarating game drives in Arusha National Park, savor bush breakfasts under acacia trees, or join a “From Bean to Cup” coffee tour to explore the plantation’s craft. For those seeking adventure, guided walking safaris and hot-air balloon rides over the savannah promise unforgettable vistas. Conveniently located just five minutes from Arusha Airport and an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport, the lodge is easily accessible by flight or a scenic drive from major hubs.
