Arusha, Tanzania

Legendary Lodge

A luxe hotel amidst it's own coffee farm

A historical farmhouse retreat

Each of the six garden cottages has their own private veranda and is beautifully decorated with a nod to a bygone era with the choice of antique furniture. They have large and extremely comfortable beds and a lounge area with a fireplace to take the chill off the cooler African nights.

The family cottage has two bedrooms and a private garden which is a superb way to spend some time relaxing in absolute luxury during your stopover before or after your safari. Two cosy en-suite rooms in the Old Farmhouse provide a comfortable retreat from which you can explore the grounds of this genuine coffee farm.

After roughly an hour’s drive through Arusha, you will arrive at the farm and have the chance to either relax and spend time in the well kept grounds, or venture into the city to see some of the museums and markets on offer. The service at Legendary Lodge is excellent, without doubt one of the premier hotels in the area.

Places to combine Legendary Lodge with

Serengeti National Park

​Nyasi Migrational Camp
Immerse yourself in the unbelievable beauty of the African wilderness at Nyasi Camp. Tucked away in the cool shade of acacia trees you’re invited to unwind and drink in all the rich landscape has to offer. Herds of wildebeest make the iconic Great Migration travelling a never-ending circuit from the southern Serengeti in Tanzania towards the Mara River, and back again. Nyasi Camp is perfectly situated in the Serengeti and moves with the migration so you never miss any action. Operating as a seasonal camp across two locations within the Serengeti, Nyasi consists of eight en-suite tents and a family tent. Inside the tents you’ll find natural linens and textures inspired by the earthy colours and characteristics of your surroundings. Inspired by the peace of the Serengeti, the interiors have been designed to help you feel connected to nature and the ever-moving migration. Enjoy socialising and relaxing in the shared lounge and take your meals within private settings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also the option to take one side of the camp for yourselves – perfect for groups or families. Head out with your expert guide for game viewing on a private open vehicle to discover the mighty migration and the multitude of other wildlife that wander these savannahs. Safaris for children can also be arranged. If you stay in the south you can enjoy nighttime safaris, walking safaris and authentic cultural experiences. For those who stay in the north you can adventure on hot air balloon safaris, at an extra charge.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
Perched up high on the edge of this remarkable natural wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge has prime place among many other lodges in the area. With views spanning the spectacular caldera, you can enjoy a relaxing visit to this otherwise bustling attraction and dip into a world that is the permanent home to roughly 25,000 animals. The large swarms of game that find sanctuary here roam over 20 kilometres on the crater floor and this allows for some excellent game viewing opportunities. Prides of bachelor lions are sometimes seen spanning the landscape, on the hunt for their own families and dotted in among the plains game you might spot a rhino rump in the distance. Morning and afternoon game drives are taken by highly experienced guides and if you want to visit the nearby Olduvai Gorge that is also available when vehicle occupancy allows. The crater can get quite busy but with three potential areas within the lodge to hide away, you will not really notice the thirty suites that make up the lodge. North and South Camp both have twelve beautiful suites and the Tree Camp, slightly set apart from the others, has just six. Raised up on stilts, these rooms are all tastefully decorated with Tanzanian hardwoods and silk curtains which make the room nice and warm; the ridge can get quite nippy, after all! The dining areas have lovely viewing decks and extremely comfortable indoor lounges which are ideal for catching up on some midday afternoon reading, or ticking off the birds that you might have seen so far. You could also decide to have a relaxing massage in your room, and completely pamper yourself.
