Arusha Coffee Lodge by Elewana

My stay at the five-star Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge was an absolute delight. The lodge offers the perfect blend of luxury and convenience, ideally situated within a sprawling, lush coffee plantation. This setting provides a tranquil, picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of Arusha town.||The location is exceptionally practical for travellers: it is conveniently located outside the main city traffic and just a short drive from the Arusha domestic airport (ARK), making it the ideal base for connecting to internal safari flights.||The service provided by the staff was truly exemplary. The warmth and genuine hospitality of every team member were outstanding. They were attentive, professional, and ensured every aspect of my stay was perfect.||The rooms and the entire lodge were immaculate. The high standard of cleanliness was evident everywhere, contributing significantly to a comfortable and relaxing stay.||I wholeheartedly recommend the Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge. It is a peaceful, luxurious haven with top-notch service and the perfect start or end point for any safari adventure in Tanzania.

We stayed at this beautiful and peaceful lodge for one night only on our way to the Serengeti and were so sorry we couldn't stay longer! The rooms are very spacious, nicely decorated, clean and well equipped. We had dinner and breakfast and the food was excellent!! Many choices from the menu at dinner, everything we ordered was very good. Above all we would like to mention the friendly staff, always smiling and greeting and happy to help. We surely will be back and we highly recommend Arusha Coffee Lodge.

We stayed here for one night before and after your safari. This lodge is close to the Arusha airport and very nice! Check-in was easy, and the accommodations consist of duplex houses, all finished with wood, located in a forested setting near the main lodge. The houses are very comfortable and well appointed, and each comes with its own deck. The staff was very friendly and professional, and the food and drink selection was very good. The a la carte dinners are VERY good, as is the breakfast buffet! We highly recommend staying here.

We spent one night at the Arusha Coffee Lodge prior to departing Africa. This property is much larger than the safari camps where we'd been staying. Rooms are beautiful, set amongst the coffee plants, and food is delicious. The property is basically flat, so easy to get around without tons of stairs. It was a great way to return to civilization after our time on safari. Samuel our butler made sure that all our needs were met.

The Lodge is beautiful. Rooms are stunning and well maintained. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Denis took very good care of us as well as the rest of the staff. Grounds are lovely and a tour of the shops on site including the weaving and glass blowing was an added treat. Would highly recommend Arusha lodge.

We stayed at Arusha Coffee Lodge for just one night at the start of our safari honeymoon, and it was the perfect introduction to Tanzania. The property is gorgeous—the grounds feel lush and peaceful, and the entire space has a calm, welcoming atmosphere.|Our room was beautiful and spacious, with thoughtful details that made it feel cozy and luxurious. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent. The food was delicious, and the service at each meal was warm, attentive, and professional.|Even with a short stay, Arusha Coffee Lodge stood out as a place we’d happily return to. It’s a wonderful spot to relax and reset before or after a safari.

Place is stunning entry to your Tanzania safari journey. Rooms are spacious. Coffee tour is great. And the food was amazing. However, I would suggest that they dont ask for reviews in person before you leave. I was accosted when i made a suggestion that checking should be more personable. The manager actually interrogated me in front of my travel partners as to my comments which made me very uncomfortable.

We arranged to stay here for 2 nights to recuperate after a very long trip from Vancouver for our safari. The location is truly warm and welcoming with old world charm. While there we took the coffee tour with (I hope I'm remembering correctly) Martin, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING ON IT, very informative and interesting! As a rest stop it worked out very well, all the staff was absolutely charming and welcoming and they definitely live by the Hakuna Matata (relax, don't worry) motto. I lost the key to our lodge and they repeatedly Hakuna Matata'd me, I retraced my steps and thank goodness found it the next day! Some of the lodges are nearer to the main road and many lorries (British for heavy trucks) would rumble by and if you're in one of the closer lodges you can feel the vibration, if you’re a light sleeper you may want to ask for a further away lodge. As we are light sleepers, the staff was happy to switch us to different lodge, very accommodating! I want to give a special mention to the guest liaison (darn can't remember her name!! You know who you are) with whom I had a lovely chat during my last breakfast. She was charming and very interested in my thoughts and opinions in order to make any improvements to the lodge, such as adding more activities, archery, pickle ball courts, etc., as there isn’t much to do except relaxing (nothing wrong with that!). Lastly, I want to point out what a beautiful place the Shanga Workshop and Gift shop is. Here many local people with different handicaps are employed to make all types of crafts that are sold in the gift shop, absolutely marvelous endeavor to allow them to earn a living. Overall a most wonderful experience!! We highly recommend it.
