Legendary Lodge is a small luxury lodge on a working coffee estate near Arusha. It is one of the most elegant places to start or end a safari in northern Tanzania. Green lawns, tall trees and flower beds surround the lodge. On clear days, Mount Meru rises in the distance.

Cottages and Suites

The lodge has a small number of beautiful garden cottages and family suites. Each one has its own veranda and plenty of living space. The rooms are bright, stylish and very private. Bathrooms are large, with deep tubs and fine fittings. Families enjoy the two-bedroom suites, which give everyone room to spread out.

Food and Relaxation

The kitchen serves fresh, farm-to-table meals all day. Breakfast among the flowers is a lovely way to start the morning. Afternoons drift by at the swimming pool. The garden spa offers massages and treatments after long flights. Coffee from the estate is always close at hand.

Things to Do

Guests can walk through the coffee plants and learn how the beans are grown. Arusha town is nearby, with its markets, cafés and the Cultural Heritage Centre. Day trips to Arusha National Park are easy to arrange. Many guests simply rest, recover from travel and enjoy the gardens.

Location and Access

Legendary Lodge sits between Kilimanjaro International Airport and Arusha Airport. The transfer from Kilimanjaro takes about 45 minutes. Arusha Airport, where bush flights leave for the Serengeti, is only minutes away. This makes the lodge the ideal first or last night of a safari. It pairs perfectly with Mwiba Lodge and the Legendary migration camps. Arrive tired, leave rested and ready for the wild.

Best Time to Visit

Legendary Lodge works well in every season. Most guests stay one night at the start of their safari and one at the end. June to October brings dry, sunny weather and clear views of Mount Meru. The green season is quieter and the gardens are at their best. If you land late at Kilimanjaro Airport, this is the perfect soft landing. It suits couples, families and anyone who wants their trip to begin in style.
