If you want to find out more about this area, come there.

It's not just a lodge, it's part of a community project. The lodge itself is located on the edge of Arusha National Park with a magnificent view of Mount Meru. We had a very large lodge for 2 people and were able to let off steam there.

nothing.

Your own paradise

This is the place to stay if you can go away from it all, it is like your own house in África, wonderful food, beautiful and authentic premises, incredible landscape with 2 volcanos on sight and a very special staff involved in an enrichment project, what else can you ask for?

Remote & Lovely

This Lodge is lovely if you are intending to go into Arusha National Park. The location has lovely views of Mt. Meru and it is very quiet and remote. The staff was all very kind and attentive.

For our purposes, it was out of the way, but that was our own fault for not fully understanding how long the driving distances are in the bush. And for anyone self-driving be mindful the roads are very hard to navigate! The bathrooms could use a little spiffing up.

Words can’t describe this truly special place doing incredible things.

From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a magical place (and in a heartbeat decided to extend our stay). Not only does staying here impact the bottom line of the multiple ways the Africa Amini foundation supports local health and community projects, there’s so much on offer, all without any sense of urgency or push. The team were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, Pearl, Lucas, Malachi - all utterly brilliant with our kids. The food (oh my…) was seriously impeccable - truly the best we had in our whole Tanzanian trip - made with love and brought to a wonderfully laid table right outside our accommodation - with the bonus of waking to find an unexpected giraffe casually mooching through our garden one morn, then serenaded by the sound of bush babies as we ate in the evenings. The swimming pool, grounds, coffee bar and even the micro gift shop - all perfection. The story behind its inception and the progress they’ve built here in the area is truly inspirational. I visited the incredible Africa Amini Alama Clinic (about 10 mins drive away) for a booked massage which was wonderful, if a little selfish compared to all the excursions on offer to locally-founded schools and working co-operatives. You get a real sense of the good they do in one short visit so I’d recommend it highly. The property itself that we stayed in was unique - homely in style, thoughtfully rustic but with a wonderful attention to detail, brimming with a genuine warmth. We could have happily stayed a month or more in this hidden gem that we feel blessed to have discovered. Nashukuru to you all.

We actually really enjoyed the huge variety of bugs and mini-beasts indoors - but some might find them distracting (nb: there were cans of bug spray on offer - we chose not to use pesticides and instead embrace nature in full!)

Gorgeous on every level. You do good and feel good by staying here.

The term ‘hidden gem’ was invented for places like this. Seek it out amid the lush mountainous scenery and you will not be disappointed by its story, its heart or its seemingly magical powers. The incredible food, welcoming team, the homely warm accommodation and the overall wonderful restorative vibe will stay with our family for a very long time. Asante sana.

Minor thing but wish we’d known ahead of time to arrive via Ngare-Nanyuki (north of Mount Meru), or via Kingori from the south - our family were very nearly charged 400USD to access via road through Arusha National Park in our 4x4 vehicle. Sorted with a phonecall but also added a smidge of stress + a couple hours Plan B travel time. Still worth it in the end though!!

Lovely stay

Beautiful place and very lovely staff They took extra measures to make our stay comfortable and unforgettable I have been to several places but this retreat by far was the top The food was great Gorgeous view Welcoming staff Definitely will come again

It was a bit stuffy since there was no air-conditioning or fans But the weather was cool so we kept the windows opened It would have been lovely if there was at least fans

Top top top!!!

we liked everything, staff, food, room, visits around the hotel… we had the chance to visit the projects they created: schools, hospitals, orphanage, organic farms…. and it was amazing. all the benefits from the hotel go to those projects so don’t hesitate!

Serene

Incredible location and staff. Beautiful view from the lodge & the food served was so good and healthy. They really took great care of us and it really felt like a home. In addition to that, some of the money will go to support the Africa Amini Alama project which is an NGO that does great work for the are of Momella.

Beautiful and atmospheric stay

Beautiful and very special place. I got looked after by Pietro, who did so extremly well...the location is remote and very beautiful! The little houses are delightful, service is excellent, I felt so at peace there....I simply wish I could have stayed longer. The only thing you have to bear in mind is that it is quite far from the airport, but then...you are really in the Bush! Loved everything about it. Also the money you pay is used for charity. And the food is so good and cooked with love. Best breakfast I had anywhere in Tansania!
