We guarantee the words "Out of Africa" will pop into your head as you enter Legendary Lodge Arusha, a luxury destination that's popular with visitors beginning or ending their Tanzanian odyssey. Its one fault, most say, is that they wished they'd booked a longer stay. And they have a point. The lodge sits within lush gardens, with a beautiful frangipani tree at the entrance, in the heart of a working coffee farm, and is the perfect place to unwind. Just minutes from Arusha and the nearest airport, you'll be pampered with excellent accommodation, intuitive service and fabulous food.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the gracious old farmhouse, or on the covered main patio overlooking the manicured lawn, with the croquet set at the ready. There's a comfortable guest lounge. Aching muscles after your Kili climb? Visit the spa for a soothing massage.
There are 12 beautiful cottages to choose from, all strewn around the gardens. All are cleverly designed with a fusion of African arts and crafts, and vintage luxury. 10 one-bed cottages offer king-sized beds, a separate lounge with fireplace and an en-suite bathroom with shower and a deep bathtub, and there's also a two-bed and a three-bed cottage, both with the same facilities, just slightly larger in size.
Take a mountain-bike excursion through the plantation, or explore the working farm on an organised tour. Visit the nearby recreation centre to use the swimming pool, tennis or squash courts and fitness centre. If you're keen to explore further afield, the staff will arrange excursions to Arusha, nearby Arusha National Park and Ngurdoto Crater. Or grab a book and a cup of coffee and sit quietly in the garden. Life couldn't be more relaxing.
Being able to catch your breath, flick through your photographs, and squeeze in a spot of R&R (in style!), before preparing for the next leg of your journey.
There’s a little recreation centre just down the road complete with squash and tennis courts, a gym and a yoga studio – perfect for a post-safari stretch.
Conveniently located just outside of town, Legendary is mere minutes from Arusha Airport but if you've got a morning flight from Kilimanjaro Airport, you’ll have to have a very early start to the day.
