Private cottage veranda with wicker armchairs surrounded by coffee bushes at Arusha Coffee Lodge

Field Camp Description

Nestled on the fertile southern slopes of volcanic Mount Meru, these tranquil cottages are surrounded by ancient riverine forest and working coffee gardens. Black-and-white colobus monkeys leap through the canopy above your roof, while crystal-clear mountain streams murmur nearby. Fireplaces warm the spacious living rooms on cool mountain evenings. The property is an ideal retreat for post-climb muscle recovery, featuring a wood-fired sauna, deep stone soaking tubs, and gentle garden footpaths that soothe tired limbs.
