The Legendary Lodge is located on the outskirts of Arusha in lush tropical gardens and surrounded by a working coffee farm. It is within 15 minutes’ drive of Arusha Airport, which makes it an ideal base for the first or last night of a safari. You can enjoy views of Mount Meru from the privacy of your own garden cottage.
Dining is a highlight at The Legendary Lodge and we encourage you to indulge in the gourmet meals served at The Old Farmhouse. The food and service is excellent.
The spacious 10 One Bedroom Garden Cottages and 2 Two Bedroom Garden Cottages are on a split level and the accommodation and facilities are clearly luxurious.

Beds are king-size and there is a fireplace. Additional services include a complimentary mini bar and fruit basket and wifi connection. Each cottage has a large veranda with impressive views of Mount Meru.
The cottages are set in gardens with manicured lawns and a blaze of tropical flowers. The cottages are complemented by the very homely main farmhouse building with its dining room, reception and library areas.

Not forgetting the beginnings of this century-old estate, Legendary Lodge is surrounded by a working coffee plantation. Guests can spend a morning following a coffee bean from tree to cup: from the agriculture, to picking and roasting, to the making of that delicious blend many of us enjoy at home, as Tanzanian coffee is exported far and wide.
Coffee tours take place on Legendary Lodge's neighbouring Burka Coffee farm.

Legendary Lodge is on the doorstep of several wonderful protected wilderness areas that make for unforgettable day trips. Day trips to nearby national parks, including Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, can be arranged on-site with the lodge manager.

Dining at Legendary Lodge
As with any farmhouse, the kitchen tends to be the heart of the home, and Legendary Lodge is no exception. Our team of incredibly talented Tanzanian chefs will leave you wishing you had more space for another course. Using only the freshest ingredients and prepared with a large scoop of love, every meal will be an experience.
Breakfast is typically available from 6.30am but we are happy to arrange for it at your desired time. A selection of fresh fruits, cereals, yoghurts and pastries — baked that morning by our pastry chef — will be laid out. Your waiter will take a hot breakfast order.
Lunch and dinner offer three courses, with a choice for all courses.
Ensuring that your mealtime is an experience, enjoy the warmth of the sun when we move your lunch table into the gardens, or relax on the verandah at night, with gas heaters warming the air, and a throw around your shoulders.
We welcome you at the fire-place in the evenings for a pre-dinner drink: a chance for us to have a chat, but should you feel so at home that you would prefer to enjoy meals in your cottage, please just let the lodge manager know so that this can be arranged for you.
Legendary Lodge takes pride in tailor-making our menus wherever possible so that we are able to meet all your requests.
