Tucked between Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru, the Kilimanjaro Golf and Wildlife Estate comprises an 18-hole championship golf course together with a real estate development set within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The estate is situated on over 400 hectares of African bush, approximately 25 kilometres from the tourism stopover of Arusha, and a similar distance from Kilimanjaro International Airport. The beauty of Tanzania’s northern highlands provides the spectacular setting for this estate. Surrounded by the Maasai Steppe, and the great ridges of the ancient Eastern Arc chain: the Pare, Usambara and Blue Mountains, there are incredible views from every angle. This is the newest and most striking addition to Africa’s great golfing estates and offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy a wildlife safari, horse riding adventures, cultural tours, and even helicopter tours.
