Karama Lodge

Welcome to Karama Lodge, a haven of serenity and dense natural beauty located in the lush green Suye Hill in Moshono, just a 5-minute drive from Arusha Airport on Burka Road. This lodge is not about the roar of the wild but the whisper of peace, surrounded by the verdant landscapes of coffee plantations. Karama Lodge boasts an ambience where relaxation is not just an option but a promise. With its beautifully manicured gardens, you’ll find a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here, the air is filled with the aroma of fresh coffee from their own plantations, and the delightful meals are crafted from ingredients grown in their very gardens. If you’re looking for a place where the loudest noise you’ll hear is the sound of your own sigh of contentment, Karama Lodge is your sanctuary.

The lodge features an outdoor swimming pool, perfect for unwinding after exploring Tanzania’s wonders or simply to soak up some sun while sipping on freshly brewed coffee or juice.
