Just a 10 minute easy drive out of Arusha town in lies Lake Duluti Lodge. Named after the nearby crater lake, Lake Duluti lodge is a really lovely retreat. Consisting of only 18 beautifully designed African ‘kibandas’ (chalets), Lake Duluti Lodge offers a peaceful, calm and rejuvenating atmosphere. All the chalets are positioned to face the coffee farm and each... More

The food was good. Breakfast buffet very nice with cooked to order eggs. Staff was gracious and service seamless from out late night arrival to the serenade... More

Our Home Base for our travels in Africa. Three visits - every one better than the previous. Fine accommodation; good food; helpful staff; swimming pool. And, of course great coffee. They gave us some to take home with us... Wonderful, quiet place.

Arusha is the beginning for many safari trips in Tanzania, and this lodge was the perfect starting point to an amazing trip. The setting was calm and beautiful. The rooms were gorgeously appointed. The staff was also wonderful. We loved Elias who really took care of us. He led us on a walk in and around the property, and had... More

Located about 45 minutes from the Kilimanjaro Airport, this lovely lodge was a welcome respite after a day's travel from Rwanda. Very stylish decor and modern in feel. The lodge and its 18 "kibandas" are set in the midst of lush greenery on a working coffee plantation and small lake. There is wi-fi accessbut only on one chair near the... More

The bed was amazingly comfortable and breakfast was simple but fresh... More

The Duluti Lodge is beautiful and very close to the Kilimanjaro Airport and to the Arusha Airstrip, so it is a very convenient place to start off or finish your safari. When we arrived (unfortunatley very late due to a delay in one of our flights and lost baggages) we were received by the whole staff singing - it was... More

The Lake Duluti lodge is a calm garden within the busy area of Arusha. The location is on the other side of town near to the Kilimanjaro airport. Therefore it makes a great beginning and end to any safari into the Serengeti. Rooms are actually suites that open up to the surrounding vegetation. Very few bugs as mosquitoes hate coffee,... More
