Arusha Coffee Lodge
One of the most appealing features is the private wooden deck attached to each cottage which overlooks the coffee plantation. As many guests arrive late in the evening, the deck offers an excellent morning view to experience your first sights and sounds of Africa. You may catch a glimpse of the first wildlife of your safari as vervet monkeys can be seen clambering through the trees.
- Discover the nearby coffee plantation on a hour’s walk seeing how they grow, harvest and produce the beans into delicious coffee you can enjoy.
- Head off into the national park to spot colourful birds, plains game and monkeys including the black-and-white colobus.
- Venture into the city to visit the natural museum or the cultural heritage centre: home to artefacts of Tanzania’s past and present tribes giving a fascinating insight into the country’s culture.
- Enjoy an authentic Tanzanian shopping experience at the boutique shops and cafes of Traders Walk.
