Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge | Arusha
Gelegen op een van de grootste koffieplantages van Tanzania, net buiten het levendige Arusha, is Arusha Coffee Lodge de ideale uitvalsbasis om je rondreis te starten of af te sluiten. Te midden van een grote koffieplantage kom je volledig tot rust, omringd door de geur van koffie en het groene landschap. Als je van de weg afrijdt, leidt een met bomen omzoomde oprijlaan je naar het warme en uitnodigende hoofdgedeelte met zijn rustige, ingetogen uitstraling. En terwijl de geur van verse koffiebonen je verwelkomt, geniet je van het uitzicht op de torenhoge Mount Meru en de uitgestrekte plantages.
Neem je intrek in een van de 30 luxe chalets, genesteld tussen de omringende tuinen en de zee van koffiebomen. De Plantation Rooms zijn gezellig en elegant, met koloniale meubels, een privéveranda en een open haard voor de koelere avonden. De Plantation Suites zijn ruimer opgezet en bieden een extra vleugje luxe. Geniet van een ontspannen lunch in de tuin of dineer in het à-la-carte restaurant Bacchus of in de bistro 3° South, waar internationale gerechten samenkomen met verse lokale ingrediënten. Wil je winkelen, dan kun je terecht in de vijf Traders Walk Boutiques. Je vindt er ambachtelijke kunst, juwelen, kleding, koffie, gebak en traditionele Swahili-gerechten.

The Highlands | Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Highlands ligt in de hooglanden van de Ngorongoro Conservation Area, aan de rand van het bergwoud bij de Olmoti krater. Op zo’n 2.700 meter hoogte kijk je uit over beboste hellingen, open graslanden en de vulkanische landschappen van de omgeving. Tegelijkertijd ligt de wereldberoemde Ngorongoro krater op ongeveer een uur rijden, waardoor je dit verblijf goed kunt combineren met een safari in dit natuurwonder.
De acht koepelsuites liggen verspreid tegen de beboste helling en zijn van canvas en glas, met een vorm die doet denken aan een moderne iglo. Binnen draait alles om het uitzicht: het grote bed staat recht op de ramen gericht, zodat je vanuit je bed uitkijkt over de heuvels en het omliggende landschap. Warme materialen, koeienhuiden en wollen plaids geven de suites een comfortabele, eigentijdse uitstraling, terwijl een kleine houtkachel en een kruik onder het dekbed zorgen voor extra warmte tijdens de frisse nachten. Iedere suite beschikt over een ensuite badkamer met warme douche en een ruime veranda.
De centrale ruimtes van The Highlands zijn met houten wandelpaden met elkaar verbonden en omvatten een lounge, bar en dining room. De keuken werkt zoveel mogelijk met verse ingrediënten uit de omgeving en serveert smakelijke gerechten binnen in het restaurant, op het terras of op een bijzondere plek in de bush. Na het diner is de lounge met de houtkachel een fijne plek om nog wat te drinken en van het uitzicht te genieten.

Enjoy a refreshing drink or a signature cocktail and scrumptious cocktail snacks as you celebrate the end of the day; all while being surrounded by thousands of wildebeest and zebras.
Classic Tent
An elegant contemporary take on the classic campaign look, Kichakani Camp offer accommodations under canvas with 10 canvas tents, all of which have been styled with distinction. Each tent has a wooden deck perfect for pausing for a just-brewed cup of Tanzania’s finest coffee, and ensuite bathrooms feature authentic bucket showers. A personal tent attendant is available around the clock to fill each bucket shower to the perfect temperature. Thanks to the on-the-go nature of the whole sand-coloured canvas-constructed camp, there is little impact on the environment, casting a lighter ecological shadow.
