In a hustling and very bustling city of 1.6 million people, Arusha Coffee Lodge is the perfect hideaway for a spot of pre or post safari rejuvenation. As the name suggests, coffee is a running theme and the lodge is nestled into the lush emerald bushes of Tanzania’s largest plantation in the foothills of Mt Meru and well-located for flight connections. Radiating warmth and charm, this is an elegant and relaxing stopover choice with a number of activities to keep you busy… and possibly the freshest cup of coffee you will ever taste.




The rows of green coffee bushes conceal 30 chalets (12 rooms and 18 suites), all built in the pretty plantation style with tin roofs and wooden decks. Inside, the chic 1900s theme continues with open fireplaces, elegant four-poster beds and pretty furnishings in the sitting room areas. En-suite bathrooms are spacious and modern and all have bath tubs. And of course, a room on a coffee plantation wouldn’t be complete without start-of-the-art coffee making facilities and bean-scented toiletries...
The peace and tranquility of the estate will lull you into a state of utter relaxation - and the spa will help with that too!
Go from bean to cappuccino in 90 minutes with a tour of the working coffee plantation – a highly informative and really enjoyable experience.
The hotel is perfectly located for flights in and out of Arusha Airport but if you’re flying from Kilimanjaro, expect a longer journey across the town traffic.
