Arusha is a practical starting and finishing point for many northern Tanzania safaris, linking airport arrivals with the road routes toward Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. A stay here gives time for rest, briefing and any separately arranged town or farm activity before longer travel begins. The city and its surrounding accommodation areas vary considerably, so the stay is shaped by the actual accommodation selected. Arusha is most useful as a comfortable transition between travel and the safari itself, rather than an assumed sightseeing package.
Arusha Planet Lodge is set in landscaped grounds in Moshono, providing a comfortable Arusha base before or after safari. The lodge combines guest accommodation with a restaurant, bars, swimming pool, gym and spa.
Double/Twin accommodation for 2 guests.
