AROMATIC AFRICA
Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge
Situated in the gently undulating foothills of Mount Meru lies the bustling and vibrant town of Arusha. On its periphery, tucked away within one of Tanzania's most expansive coffee plantations, you'll discover Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge, an ideal sanctuary for unwinding either prior to or following your safari adventure.
With 30 Plantation Houses spread out into the verdant coffee fields, Arusha Coffee Lodge has been crafted around the original homestead of the land's first owner, which dates back to the early 20th century. The coffee motif permeates this gem among Arusha hotels, reflected in the hues and textures of its delightfully cosy rooms and inviting communal areas.
The cordial reception of our Main Plantation House evokes nostalgia for bygone eras, while our friendly staff cultivate an atmosphere that continues to elicit appreciation from all who visit. Within the primary Plantation House, you'll find an à la carte restaurant, a quaint cafe bistro, and a snug lounge, all featuring welcoming open log fires to ward off the cool night air. Boasting a sheltered, intimate swimming pool, a beloved garden terrace, and vast stretches of lush coffee plantation, Arusha Coffee Lodge invites exploration and discovery at every corner.
