Warm, Wonderful African Lodge

Reviewed By CMLCH

We stayed 3 nights at the lodge. It's an oasis, filled with a beautiful garden, flowers, turtles, palms and a calm, relaxing pool. The lodge is embedded in a busy town - you hear the sounds around you day and night. The staff are very attentive, helpful and warm-hearted. We arrived late at night but felt welcome from the moment we got picked up at the airport by our guide. He took us on a safari the next day and it was wonderful. He was vey knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor but also knew when we just wanted to be quiet and enjoy the amazing animals. It was nice to see that the lodge was part of a foundation and that it was run by local people. We got some great "shopping ideas" from Sandra - we were 4 women - and found some beautiful treasures to bring home. Next time I think I would do more safaris but it was also relaxing to just hang out, eat and enjoy the garden and pool. We also were happy that it was affordable and not over the top prices. We will return again and would recommend it for anyone wanting to explore the area. Thank you!

Outpost Lodge

We opened our doors in 1994 and were one of the first bed and breakfasts in Arusha. The main house was previously the home of Bernhard Grzimek, the German conservationist central to the creation of the Serengeti National Park. We are located in a leafy residential area, 20 minutes walk from the centre of Arusha. We have a beautiful garden and offer clean, safe accommodation which is unpretentious and excellent value for money.

We are your home away from home in Tanzania and our staff look forward to welcoming you. Karibu Sana!

Ahadi lodge is great!

Reviewed By kellisD3003RX

I have been staying at Ahadi Lodge for many years now on an annual basis. At least pre-covid anyway. It was so great to be able to return to Tanzania. Ahadi is like my home away from home while I am in Tanzania. It is conveniently located. The best thing about Ahadi is the service and friendly staff. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. I love Ahadi also because it is so convenient to be able to come back after a long day and have access to a great meal. Their chefs are awesome. Another plus is that they have a night watchman there every night so I know safety is a priority as it is with most guests too. It was so great to be back at Ahadi, my home away from home. I will continue to stay there on my annual trips.

People smiling and helpfull. An abundency of nice tanzanian fresh dishes. The room / tent has everything it needed - nice beds, electicity, warm water - and on top the nice voices of the birds in the morning. We stayed 2 nights while doing safari in Ngorongoro caldera and at Manyara lake. The entire trip was amazing but people from the Karatu lodge make it definetly that way!
