Shake off the dust of your Tanzanian safari at this inviting lodge set at the heart of a vast and verdant coffee plantation.
Nestled in the foothills of rugged Mt Meru, the Arusha Coffee Lodge enjoys a serene spot on one of Tanzania’s oldest coffee plantations. From the homely feel of the lodge to the friendliness of its staff, this is the perfect pre- or post-safari retreat. When not strolling about the coffee fields, pampering yourself in the spa or relaxing poolside, you can ask your hosts about excursions to the Museum of Natural History or the nearby Masai market. The ‘bean-to-cup’ coffee tour is a must, whilst a game drive into Arusha National Park, complemented by a picnic lunch, makes for a wonderful day out.
Reminiscent of traditional plantation houses, the 30 airy wooden chalets are dotted about the lodge’s fragrant grounds. Expect to find romantic four-poster beds, homely log fires and split-level lounges. Private balconies are perfect for looking out over the swathes of berry-laden coffee bushes. The main lodge houses the ‘a la carte’ restaurant, as well as a bistro, bar and lounge complete with open log fires you can warm up next to in the evenings.
