Tucked away on the fertile slopes of Mount Meru and surrounded by emerald-green coffee fields, Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge is a peaceful retreat in the heart of Tanzania’s safari gateway. Just minutes from Arusha Airport and along the route to world-famous parks like Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, the lodge provides the ideal stopover to unwind before or after your journey into the wild.

The main lodge area is warm and inviting, featuring a stylish restaurant, café bistro, spa, swimming pool, and a collection of local boutiques at The Traders Walk. The air carries the gentle scent of coffee, while the surrounding gardens create an atmosphere of calm and connection to nature.

Guests can enjoy guided coffee plantation tours to learn the fascinating “bean-to-cup” story and taste some of Tanzania’s finest blends. Between adventures, relax by the pool, indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment at Peaberries Spa, or explore the local markets, museums, and cultural centres of Arusha.

Those seeking more exploration can arrange day trips to Arusha National Park or Mount Meru, complete with scenic drives and picnic lunches. For a touch of retail therapy or local culture, the Maasai markets, Tanzanite Museum, and Cultural Heritage Centre are all within easy reach.
