Arumeru River Lodge

Arumeru River Lodge was constructed on the site of a former coffee farm and is situated only 700 meter south of the main Arusha – Moshi road, just a 35 minutes drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport and 15 minutes from Arusha town. Lush tropical garden and African bushland make up the grounds of the Arumeru River Lodge, a resort built on the site of an old coffee plantation. The owners’ dedication to personalised service and luxurious accommodation make it the ideal place from which to start your safari or rest before embarking on the trek up mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, whose landmass forms a backdrop to the lodge.

Arumeru River Lodge is spread over 12 acres of beautifully furbished gardens and natural bushland, bordering on the Arumeru River lined with large old trees.

The main building contains the resort facilities, a comfortable lounge and the bar, the reception with Telephone/Fax, Internet corner, a fashion boutique and souvernir shop, and the restaurant. The terrace restaurantwith magnificient views of the mountains Meru and Kilimanjaro overlooks the tropical gardens and a large solar-heated swimming pool.
