African View Lodge

African View Lodge is just a stone’s throw from Arusha National Park. This charming little lodge has 23 en-suite rooms with breathtaking views of Mount Meru. The reception, dining room, and bungalows have been designed using local materials, including Meru-styled ceilings which are covered with banana leaves.

The tropical garden with its infinity swimming pool as centrepiece offers a cooling plunge, especially during the hot months. In the evenings, whilst enjoying a sundowner on the Meru View platform to round off the day, chefs will be busy preparing tasty meals made with fresh ingredients straight from the markets.

Experience & Activities

Embark on a tour through Maasai land where you will learn about medicinal herbal plants before returning to a village boma to receive an informative explanation about their lifestyle and the complex age-set social system of the Maasai.

Join a game drive to Arusha National Park into the Mt Meru rainforest as well as across to the Momella Lakes and Ngurdoto Crater. Other activities include a coffee farm walk and canoeing at Lake Duluti.

Accommodations

• Room: There are 22 en-suite bungalow-style rooms with terraces. Each room has been allocated a Tanzanian theme so the lodge offers a small tour around Tanzania with a brief insight into, for example, ‘Lake Tanganyika’, the ‘Maasai’ and ‘Kilwa Ruins,’ as well as ‘Serengeti’ and ‘Kilimanjaro’. For those who do not have time to do a safari, there is a special ‘Tree House’, which is a permanent en-suite tent elevated amongst the trees in the garden.
