Set on the tranquil shores of Lake Duluti, just outside Arusha, this lodge offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush gardens and woodland landscapes. Originally built on a colonial-era coffee plantation, the property retains a charming historic character, blending stone cottages, manicured lawns, and vibrant bougainvillea with the natural beauty of northern Tanzania. Its serene atmosphere makes it an ideal stop before or after a safari.
The accommodation is designed in a cottage-style layout, with rooms arranged around a central village-like square. Each room features classic country décor, French doors, and private balconies that open onto garden or lake views. The interiors combine rustic elegance with modern comfort, offering a relaxing environment that reflects both heritage and simplicity. Guests can enjoy the calm ambiance while still having access to essential amenities like Wi-Fi and room service.
Beyond the rooms, the hotel provides a range of immersive experiences that connect guests to the surrounding environment. Activities such as canoeing on the lake, guided walks, and cultural experiences enhance the stay, while lakeside dining and sunset “sundowners” create memorable moments. Its strategic location near major parks also makes it a convenient gateway to Tanzania’s famous Northern Safari Circuit.
From the sweeping plains of the iconic Serengeti and the towering heights of Mount Kilimanjaro to the untouched beauty of Ruaha and the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, Tanzania delivers a safari adventure like no other. We’ll help craft a personalized journey tailored to your interests, pace, and travel aspirations.
