Review
Most international flights arrive into Kilimanjaro airport in Arusha late at night so an overnight is required before heading out into the bush. Our preferred spot for this is Legendary Lodge. A working coffee plantation on the outskirts of Arusha with guest cottages, tropical gardens and a swimming pool, the lodge allows for a nice soft landing and modern comforts, including excellent food. The guest cottages all have views of Mount Meru and verandas from which to enjoy them. The interiors are simple with oversized king beds with mosquito netting, tile floors and homey touches, but it is the staff that adds warmth to the stay. They will fix you tea, a snack or a meal upon arrival and arrange for sitters or laundry or tours of the coffee plantation. They want you to feel at home and you will by the time you leave.
Who Should Stay
Anyone needing accommodations in Arusha before heading out on safari.
