With garden views, Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge is situated in Usa River and has a restaurant, a shared kitchen, bar, garden and terrace. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

Olpopongi - Masai Cultural Village & Museum is 43 km from Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge, while Old German Boma is 28 km from the property. The nearest airport is Arusha, 35 km from the accommodation, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

We wanted a comfortable and budget-friendly place to stay after 16 hours of flying, before and after a birding tour of ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK, and prior to the start of a safari to the larger parks. Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge fit the bill perfectly. Edith, the owner and host, saw to our every comfort and need. Our rooms were well-appointed, clean, and spacious. Meals were served home style and delicious. We enjoyed having tea and soda in the outdoor bar each evening. Edith has literally built the property and gardens with her own two hands and her pride shows and it is well justified. The views of Mt. Meru are as memorable as the warm welcome you receive from Edith and her staff. Give Kilimanjaro Eco Lodge a try if you are staying near Arusha before or after a safari.

With Olpopongi - Masai Cultural Village & Museum reachable in 42 km, Kiboko Lodge offers accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace and a bar. Complimentary WiFi is featured.

The lodge offers a children's playground.

The lodge is located on the edge of a meadow in a beautiful place. Both the lodge and bungalows are very clean and comfortable. I felt completely taken care of! I really like that the lodge is affiliated with the Watoto Foundation and provides training and jobs to youth who are supported by the Foundation, and that revenue from the lodge helps the Foundation as well. I enjoyed getting to know the staff, and Frank and Joyce were wonderful.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    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.

    Great experience. We've stayed here 2 times. First time arrived after climbing Kilimanjaro and were very much looking forward to some comfort and Meru View Lodge was exactly what we needed. Very friendly staff, great food, fantastic room/accommodation. Washing our cloths was possible and not expensive. Second stay was on our way back from safari. We needed to fly early in the morning (6 a.m.) to Zanzibar and we even got a great breakfast at 4 a.m., served with the same smile.

    We loved this place, from the facilities, the staff and the food. Since we got to the place, we were really warmly received by the staff, Jacky and Willy. Jacky specially helped us in everything we needed. The place is beautiful, great for relax and to do safari tour to the Arusha National Park. They arranged our safari tour with our driver/guide Rich, who was really the best. We learned a lot with him. We are very happy to had the chance to stay at Meru Lodge and to be able to meet so wonderful persons like Jacky and Rich.
