Kiboko Lodge feels very 'genuine'. The staff were all wonderful and very helpful. We had a tour of the village and schools as well as the coffee 'experience'. All of them were very informative.

The water supply is limited which could put some people off staying here.

Das war ein wunderbar erholsamer Aufenthalt mit einer super Atmosphäre.

9.0

Mir hat besonders die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschft des Personals gefallen. Auch die sehr ruhige Lage und insgesamt eine sehr entspannte Atmosphäre haben dazu beigetragen, dass ich mich sehr gut erholt habe. Man war mir behilflich bei der Organisation einer Bergtour zum Mount Meru und hat Transfers zu einem Krankenhaus und zum Flughafen durchgeführt. Vogelbeobachtungen haben sehr viel Spass gemacht. Das Essen war auch super und sehr reichlich.

Es gab nicht durchgehend Strom auf den Steckdosen im Zimmer, weil der Stromgenerator nicht immer lief.

It was a peaceful and serene place to stay.

The lodge is located on the edge of a meadow in a beautiful place. Both the lodge and bungalows are very clean and comfortable. I felt completely taken care of! I really like that the lodge is affiliated with the Watoto Foundation and provides training and jobs to youth who are supported by the Foundation, and that revenue from the lodge helps the Foundation as well. I enjoyed getting to know the staff, and Frank and Joyce were wonderful.

I found it difficult to be located so far from Arusha, because I had to pay for transport to and from Arusha when I wanted to go there.

Entspannte Lodge für einen guten Zweck

10.0

Außergewöhnlicher Ort um für ein paar Tage zum relaxen mit leichten Aktivitäten in der Umgebung, wie dem Arusha NP o.ä. Die Anlage selbst und das freundliche Personal war für mich das Highlight, Geofrey mit dem ich auf dem Gelände Shoebills und Drongos entdeckte, Ausflüge mit Jaffett und Frank und Joyce die alles im Griff haben und einem zu jedem Thema interessante Gesprächspartner sind. Die Lodge finanziert für eine gemeinsamnützige Stiftung Schulen in der Umgebung um Strassenkindern eine Chance zu geben, ich empfehle jedem einen Besuch einer solchen. Viele Angestellte der Lodge sind eine der Schulen durchlaufen und sind jetzt ausgebildet zum Koch, Fahrer, etc, es war sehr schön zu sehen wie stolz sie sind auf den Weg den sie gemeistert haben.

Die Abreise fiel mir schwer :-)

I experienced great hospitality, grounding excursions with locals into the lodge's neighbourhood

This is the perfect lodge to escape the usual bubble of Tanzania safari tourism. The lodge is run by the in partnership of the Watoto Foundation, which actively improves and improves the life of street children in Tanzania. - Food was good and prepared with love and care. - Breakfast was great, lot of fresh fruit, eggs to order and big portion - Dinner was served in multiple courses. All nice, daily changing menu - The lodge is run by solar energy so expect romantic lighting and a positive feeling of remoteness. My highlights were: - Coffee walk with local guide and women from the neighbouring village preparing coffee from green bean to roasting and brewing while singing Tanzania songs. - Reading, meditation and spending time in the Tea room with view on the picture perfect swamp… waiting for the hippo to come by. - Looking at the sky at night while sitting by the outside fireplace - Visit of the neighbouring National park

Set up : - Wi-Fi and charging only works in the main house. - The huts/rooms are spacious and could do with a little bit of paint but have out water and mosquitos netting. By the way there were very little mosquitos. - Food:I missed a little bit of a Tanzanian touch on the dishes. All felt quiet European and I am sure that many people like it this way. All the plates and cups were produced nearby.
