Location of Shamba Lodge:

Situated 10 km from Arusha city along the Namanga highway (A104 North) in the Ngaramtoni ya Chini area, Shamba Lodge enjoys a prime position atop a hill. This location affords guests breathtaking views of the valleys to the west and the majestic Mount Meru to the east. The serene environment is just a short drive from Arusha’s main attractions like the Uhuru monument and the Old German Boma, with Arusha Airport being approximately 13 km away. Shamba Lodge may be popular amongst photographers in Tanzania, with most content creators coming from Dar es Salaam, Moshi and Arusha to take wedding pictures and to create engaging content on popular platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. But with mesmerizing views of Mount Meru, you could stay here before and even after climbing Mount Meru or before your safari in Tanzania.

Facilities:

The lodge offers various facilities to enhance your stay. There’s a dedicated lounge area for relaxation, a restaurant serving local and international cuisine, and options for self-catering in the cabins. The property also accommodates camping enthusiasts with large grassy areas for pitching tents. Transportation services are available with a seven-seater van, ensuring guests can explore Arusha or move to and from the airport with ease.

Shamba Lodge Valley View Cabin:

This cabin is a single-level structure with an airy, open-ceiling design, providing a luxurious yet rustic retreat. It features a large king-size bed, a sitting area, and a desk, making it ideal for both relaxation and work. The bathroom is equipped with a spacious bathtub fed by a 100-liter hot water tank, and the cabin extends to a eucalyptus wooden deck where guests can immerse themselves in the sweeping valley views to the west. The cabin offers free WiFi, room service, and is complemented by its proximity to local landmarks.

Shamba Lodge Meru View Cabin:

A two-level chalet, this provides a more expansive living experience. The main level boasts an open floor plan with a comfortable living area, dining space, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a relaxing bathtub. Upstairs, a large bedroom with a luxurious wooden bed offers privacy and direct access to a balcony with views of both the valley and Mount Meru. This cabin includes a private pool for an additional fee, which serves dual purposes as a swimming area and an eco-friendly water source for the gardens.

Sweeping Valley View Cabin:

The latest addition to Shamba Lodge, this cabin features a unique loft-style bedroom upstairs with a king-sized bed, offering a cozy retreat with panoramic views. Downstairs, a spacious lounge area invites relaxation, and a large outdoor deck is perfect for enjoying sunsets and the sweeping vistas. The cabin maintains the luxury of the others with a well-appointed bathroom, a desk for work, and amenities for hot drinks, ensuring a comprehensive comfort for its guests.

Each cabin at Shamba Lodge is designed not just for accommodation but as a gateway to the natural beauty and serene atmosphere of the Tanzanian highlands, providing a tranquil escape with all the comforts one might need.
