Trip Description

You will be met by Ecological wilderness safari guides after clearing customs and migration formalities and transferred to Ngaresero Mountain Lodge.

In the main house are two suites approximately 55 square meters. These shares the main balcony and the Kilimanjaro view. The Lodge has been adapted from an early colonial farmhouse built at the turn of the century. It has just ten rooms and provides personal service to Lodge residents only. Thick walls, heavy timber beams and period décor impart comfort and charm.

The snows of Kilimanjaro form a splendid backdrop for a sundowner on the verandah and watching the changing colors of the glaciers is an unforgettable experience.

The gardens contain a profusion of trees and flowers, two hundred species of birds have been recorded. Troupes of Sykes and Colubus monkeys inhabit the forest and grounds

The spacious verandah in front of your room is furnished with comfortable safari chairs and tables - the perfect retreat for a relaxing moment watching a weaver bird building its nest in a nearby Acacia tree, a herd of impala grazing quietly only meters away, or simply relaxing and listening to the sounds of the African bush.
