Overview
Moivaro Lodge lies just 7 km from the lively pulse of Arusha City, enveloped by a lush coffee plantation that hums with the rhythm of East Africa. This serene retreat is a stone’s throw from Arusha National Park, a mosaic of crater lakes, montane forests, and the shimmering Momella Lakes, where pink flamingos wade and giraffes glide across the savanna. The lodge’s verdant grounds, alive with chattering colobus monkeys and vibrant birdlife, offer a front-row seat to Mount Meru’s majestic silhouette, inviting you to pause and breathe in the beauty of Tanzania’s northern gateway.
Blending rustic charm with refined comfort, Moivaro’s thatched cottages create an intimate, eco-conscious haven. Each cottage, tucked among tropical gardens, boasts a private veranda perfect for savoring morning coffee as the sun gilds the horizon. Your days can be as adventurous or tranquil as you wish—explore Arusha National Park on guided game drives, embark on cultural tours to Moivaro Village, or indulge in a bush breakfast under acacia trees. For safari enthusiasts, day trips to Tarangire or the Ngorongoro Crater are within reach, while hot-air balloon rides offer a bird’s-eye view of the savanna. Easily accessible via a 45-minute drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport or a scenic road transfer from Nairobi, Moivaro Lodge is your elegant launchpad to Tanzania’s wild wonders.
