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.

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.

There’s hot water, consistent electricity + WiFi, comfortable beds, a beautiful balcony overlooking a courtyard— what else can you ask for? You can easily take a dala dala into city center.

Visited the equator restaurant

Reviewed By Aly K

This is probably the best Indian food I have tasted. The menu is so big I was suspicious that they would be able to deliver on everything but they did and it is all delicious and fresh. Great vegetarian and vegan choices and my partner assures me the meat is as good. All this and amazing value, great customer service and beautiful quiet gardens right in the middle of Arusha. Had a look round the hotel today too and if retro is your thing I would definitely recommend it!! So this would be my No 1 choice in Arusha. Treat yourself. Thank you Christina for your great service too!
