Lake Duluti Lodge

You've got 19 contemporary African-style suites to pick from, and they're all pretty spacious. The main options are Luxury Chalets with king beds and private balconies, Executive Single Rooms for solo travelers, and romantic Bridal Suites that come with the best views and special touches.

If you're traveling with kids, the Family Rooms work well since they can accommodate extra beds. Every room comes with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV, minibars, and in-room safes. The bathrooms are especially nice - they've got both bathtubs and rainfall showers, plus you'll find bathrobes and slippers waiting for you.

Absolutely, kids are welcome here. Up to two children can stay free when they use the existing bedding in your room. If you need extra space, rollaway beds are available for about additional cost, and infant beds come at no charge.

That said, the lodge has a pretty quiet, intimate vibe that tends to work better for couples or families with older kids rather than little ones. The activities like canoeing on the lake and coffee farm tours are more suited to children who can appreciate the natural setting.

Yes, free Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire property, including in all the chalets and common areas. You'll be able to stay connected whether you're in your room or relaxing by the lake.

 While the lodge itself isn't a safari camp, it's perfectly positioned as your base for exploring the northern Tanzania circuit. You're close to Arusha National Park, Tarangire, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

The lodge works with local tour operators to arrange your safari days, so the quality of vehicles and guides depends on which operator you choose. When you book with us, we'll make sure you're paired with top-tier safari operators that match the lodge's standards.

This setup gives you the best of both worlds - peaceful lakeside evenings and exciting game drives during the day.

The lodge sits on the shores of Lake Duluti near Arusha, right at the base of Mount Meru on a 30-acre working coffee farm. You're about 30-40 minutes from Arusha Airport and roughly an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport.

Airport transfers are often included with booking packages, but it's worth confirming when you book. The location gives you easy access to safari departure points while keeping you in a peaceful, natural setting away from the hustle of Arusha town.

The lodge has a main restaurant and bar where all your meals are served. They focus on quality local ingredients, with about 80% of their food sourced from nearby farms. You can also arrange private dining experiences on the deck or right by the lake for special occasions.

Some guests have mentioned the menu options can be somewhat limited compared to larger properties, but the emphasis is on fresh, locally-sourced cuisine that reflects the area.

The lodge is genuinely committed to eco-friendly practices. They run on 100% renewable energy and source most of their food locally from surrounding farms. They also practice waste sorting and recycling right on the property.

What's really impressive is that management reinvests at least 10% of profits back into community empowerment and training local talent. So your stay directly supports the surrounding community while minimizing environmental impact.
