Legendary Lodge

Coffee brown

Legendary Lodge is one of the finest addresses in Arusha. Its 12 cottages each offer private verandahs with stunning views of Mount Meru. The interiors have been designed with a clever blend of African and colonial style. Meals are served in the old farmhouse style. The day begins with a full English breakfast accompanied by freshly brewed coffee and tea, and ends with a romantic candlelit dinner, served with a selection of fine wines. For active guests, the lodge offers a fully equipped gym with an aerobics studio, sauna, steam room, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, as well as a five-kilometre running track. A range of optional activities is available, such as a tour of the coffee plantation, a shopping trip in Arusha or safari days in Arusha, Tarangire or Lake Manyara national parks. To unwind after busy days, nothing beats putting yourself in the expert hands of the spa therapists.
