Such a wonderful boutique safari lodge just outside of Arusha! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the room was exceptionally comfortable. I would highly recommend Amani Safari Lodge to anyone looking for a tranquil and welcoming environment to begin their safari adventures in this incredible country!

We had a fabulous experience here staying one night before our Safari and a night after the Safari. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. The area is beautiful and part of a coffee plantation. There were a couple of internet moments of on and off but beyond that, no complaints

Overall, very disappointed. The price is very high; but services are non-existent; not good value for money. the front desk does not have good attitude. It is even very hard to ask for an extra bottle of clean water. too high priced for low value provided.

Being able to stay in a classic style coffee "plantation" inn with casual style was a pleasant surprise. Comfortable, clean rooms surround an interior open-air courtyard; a traditional long lawn leading up to the house provided grounds for outdoor dinner parties and gatherings. An open air dining room serving reasonably priced "prix fixe" dinners ($25/person) allowed for great conversation and time to relax. There is a pool as well. The friendly staff greeted us and provided immediate attention to our requests. We stayed in room 5 which offered a private veranda where we enjoyed room service and cocktails outside our room. The location sits amidst coffee farms and a roastery nearby. The road leading to the inn was a bit rough in places but well navigable. If you are planning a safari, I highly recommend this location as a jumping off point as well a return spot as we did.
