Arusha Coffee Lodge

If you love coffee and East Africa safaris then add Arusha Coffee Lodge in Tanzania to your bucket list now and find a flight to the emerald, green hills of Mount Meru and Arusha Coffee Lodge. 

A sensory explosion of coffee pickers harvesting the beans, the fresh roasting aromas of freshly brewed coffee and the lush coffee plantations against the verdant hills make this Tanzania destination more than worth your while.

Find the gorgeous Arusha Coffee Lodge nestling on the western outskirts of Arusha, Tanzania, on a working coffee plantation, hemmed in by endless acres of berry-laden coffee bushes.  Picture the original homestead of the early 1900s here when safaris and coffee were bosom buddies and feel the aura of this graceful old lodge that once housed coffee plantation landowners.  

Choose one of 30 Plantation Houses, including 12 Plantation Suites, that sprawl through the emerald coffee fields and appreciate the coffee bean theme in all the décor and design. Feel at home in an old homestead where hospitality remains a strong value and guests are included like old friends visiting the farm. It’s cool up here in the mountains of Arusha so sit beside the glowing fire at night in the cosy lounge before wining and dining in the gourmet a la carte restaurant.  

Arusha Coffee Lodge offers visitors the best of all worlds – time to tour the coffee plantations and learn more about the history and culture of coffee and the local people who tend the fields, time to tour the neighbouring and famous game reserves of Kilimanjaro, Arush and the Serengeti too. Stroll around Arusha town to experience the markets, artworks and spicy local foods, the museums and monuments that take your fancy. 

Relax back at the lodge beside the sparkling swimming pool or sip a coffee on the garden terrace before buying more coffee products in the boutiques. A wonderful base from which to explore the Arusha environs, Mount Meru and more! Voyage2Africa is your go-to travel expert to tailor make this dream tour in a jiffy to Tanzania.
