Hatari Lodge is a real breath of fresh air, as it is unlike the other safari lodges and modern hotels in the Tanzanian tourist/safari circuit. The Lodge is actually an old farmstead with tropical gardens and a main building with a patio and deck overlooking a swamp area that fills with wildlife every day and evening. The accommodations are in cottages or in some guesthouses built in the style of the original farmstead. The furnishings are antique and "rustic". One has the feeling of being in an historic homestead far away from the world. Giraffes and vervet monkeys, and sunbirds, make the morning gardens a sheer joy. On clear mornings you can see the peak of Kilimanjaro. The staff are wonderful and friendly; the food is excellent; and the main building (bar, lounge, restaurant) is filled with memorabilia from the film "Hatari" with John Wayne. Overall, this is a lovely place to stay for a few nights and days at the beginning or start of your Tanzanian safari. There are really interesting excursions up the slopes of Mt. Meru, nearby craters, and the area called "Little Serengeti" which usually has buffalo, antelopes, zebras and other game browsing.…

Room Tip: The guest cottages are very spacious, not just "rooms". A bit more pricey but worth it.

Hatari Lodge is an amazing lodge, with beautiful landscaping to great you, cosy and very interesting African decor, and excellent food and service. The views are beautiful with Cape Buffalo and giraffes right there at the edges and monkeys on 'campus'.

Lovely property located in Arusha National Park. We were greeted upon arrival at 2300h w a hearty bowl of vegetable soup. The staff were warm and engaging. The meals are leaning to “farm to table movement”w lots of healthy vegetarian dishes. The chef came out to plan our safari lunch with us- which was delicious! The bedroom was well appointed and our fireplace was lit both evenings for us. Modern amenities are found throughout and the room was spotless. Verveine monkeys are found around the property. Giraffes come into the courtyard to munch on the acacia trees! In the morning and evenings Cape buffalo and zebras and giraffes gather in the fields 200 m from the boardwalk- and the occasional buffalo will wander through the courtyard. I would definitely recommend Hatari Lodge- it was worth the price of admission.…

Response from taesafarist, Inhaber at Hatari Lodge
Responded Nov 8, 2019
Liebe Kerstin, leider habe ich erst heute nach ihrer Mitteilung über unsere Bewertungs-Platform von ihrem Unfall erfahren. Gut das ihnen nicht passiert ist und das Sie nicht in die Scherben getreten sind. Ich warte auf die detailierten Bericht vom Lodge Management und werde mich auch mit Chamaleon Reisen in Verbindung setzen. Sobald ich alle Infos zusammen habe melde ich mich bei Chamaleon und freue mich dieses unangenehme und sicherlich nicht absichtliche Geschehen durch eine Kleinigkeit wieder gut zu machen. Unsere Glässer sind upcyclet ( aus recycling glass ) von Frauen in Ostafrika handgeblasen die wir mit unserem Einkauf unterstutzen. und leider kommt es immer wieder wegen Rücksichlosigkeit zu Bruch. Aber es gibt auch Unfälle ... und hier wollen wir auch unterscheiden. Ich melde mich umgehend. Herzliche Grusse Marlies Gabriel
