Arusha Coffee Lodge

Arusha Coffee Lodge sits inside an active coffee estate at the foot of Mount Meru, close enough to Kilimanjaro International Airport to make it the natural arrival and departure base. Cottages sit among the coffee bushes, with the estate’s own factory offering tours and tastings. It does the specific job of “comfortable first/last night before or after the real trip” better than anywhere else near Arusha.
