Very well-maintained lodge with lots of interesting plants and art - and tortoises doing their bit to keep the grass down. Rooms are just as neat, clean and well-furnished. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and food prices are very fair - got a very tasty vegetable curry for lunch. Probably the most varied breakfast we had during our three weeks in Tanzania - and that is saying something. All great quality too. The pineapple/mango juice was amazing.

Water heater for shower didn't seem to kick in in one of our rooms, but that's not unexpected in Tanzania. Quite far from the center of Arusha, which may be good or bad, depending on needs. Other than that, everything was exceptional, even without considering the budget-friendly price.

Good value for money. The meals were really good especially lunch. They have a limited menu but the food is really good. The cleanliness is 10/10. The property is also serene for those who enjoy quiet time.

The room we got had an interconnecting door so we could hear whoever was in the next room. This is more of a privacy/sound proofing concern when allocating those two rooms specifically. Some of the staff were selectively helpful. Didn’t like how some staff were comfortable enough to make remarks about guests in passing. I think there’s a place and time for that in closed circles… not in front of other guests or in the corridors. Found that to be very unprofessional and unpleasant.

I stayed at the Africa Safari Lodge for one night. It was an ideal getaway after trekking. The room was clean, the staff really friendly and I really enjoyed having a drink at the bar. As my flight was in the evening, the hotel also helped to arrange an excursion to help make the most of my day.

The hotel is situated at the top of an unmade road which is about a mile long. There are plenty of motor bike taxis outside to take you into town. The hotel is also close to a mosque so you get disturbed with calls to prayer in the morning. This didn’t bother me, but it might others.

The staff was great. Always attentive and always present. The check-in process was easy. The rooms were very comfortable. We arrived into Arusha and spent our first night there before leaving for a safari and then we returned to spend one night there before we left to hike Kilimanjaro. So for our purposes, the property was perfect as we needed to be comfortable and rest. They have a good breakfast and restaurant has a good buffet dinner.

The property is far from the main road and the road is bumpy and not very good so I think it would be a hassle moving around without a car or hired taxi. The internet connection was not easily reached in all of our rooms.

The lodge is nestled in the village of Kiranyi, with Mt. Meru as its backdrop. It offers peace and quiet surrounded by lush gardens and a local aesthetic that is hard to find in Arusha town. But it is still very close to town, so excellent choice for travelers making their way through Arusha. The rooms are great, the luxury rooms are spacious and aesthetically pleasing, standard rooms have their own charm. The staff is friendly and always helpful. Food is also very decent and it’s like a buffet so great value for money. The breakfast is well worth getting up for. The road to get there turns rough as you head towards the lodge, but only for about 7-10 mins, and it’s not really rough, just slightly bumpy and gives you a window into the hustle and bustle of local life. Totally worth it. All in all, it’s a place that’ll stay with you every time you plan a trip to Arusha.

Nothing, the place was lovely.

Good but you need local food

Local food

The staff was wonderful! Always ready to help, big smiles and warm. Service was fast, food was included with our room, room was clean and the resort looks beautiful!

The room we stayed in (not sure about all, but I would assume so), are very very moist inside due to the humidity in the area, so the room we had was very musty and although clean, the mold smell would be the first thing you would notice walking in. Placing dehumidifiers in the rooms would work wonders!

Amazing resort Hotel is small with lovely rooms, the rooms are so nice, super comfortable 4 poster beds, very clean and tidy, nice seating area with tea and coffee station available and good bathroom with toiletries, room are very spacious Hotel grounds are just beautiful, lots of trees and plants and of course a tortoise or 2 It’s so quiet and relaxing at this hotel The pool is lovely surrounded by greenery and pool towels available There is so many different places to sit around the hotel tables and chairs in the garden, loungers by the pool even a hammock, it’s nice to walk around the hotel grounds The restaurant has a great variety for all meals and the food is fantastic so hard to choose what to eat I stayed full board so all my meals were included haven’t found anything I didn’t like so far and this is my second time at this hotel this month In the evenings they have a lovely fire lit and is nice to relax on the sofas around the fire after dinner or sit at the bar just facing the restaurant The staff are just fantastic, everyone is so happy, nice and friendly, Frida, Yohane, Rehema, Jeremiah to say a few but really all the staff are just all so helpful, they bend over backwards to make you have the best experience during your stay From sorting early check in or late check out where available, laundry done, arranging taxis to town, airport or bus station pick ups or excursions that are available from the hotel I couldn’t fault this hotel.

Absolutely nothing

We arrived at this hotel after a safari. The road leading to the hotel from the main road in Arusha was worse than the Serengeti! But fortunately the hotel itself was very decent. There is a small but clean swimming pool. A large turtle lives near the pool. The room is spacious and clean. There were no problems with water. There is no air conditioning in the room, but it was not needed. There is a mosque nearby, this must be taken into account, because early in the morning prayers can be heard very loudly. Overall, the stay was comfortable and met our expectations.

Absolutely loved our stay here. It was a great place to relax and wind down after 5 days of a camping safari! The staff were all so amazing, kind and helpful. One of the female staff even met us at 3.30am with breakfast boxes before our early morning flight, which was so lovely! The food was delicious. The grounds and pool were beautiful and very well maintained. The room was clean tidy and very spacious!

The washing service was very expensive.
