Located on the outskirts of Arusha, this 5-star sanctuary is tucked away within the grounds of a working coffee estate — giving it an air of seclusion amid an otherwise bustling town.
Here, guest-centric service ensures your every need is catered to and your every comfort captured. Known as the gateway to the northern safari circuit, the lodge — with its spacious cottages and sprawling tropical gardens — is the perfect setting to prepare for or reflect on your safari.
Garden Cottages
(10 ROOMS) The 10 garden cottages, complete with private verandahs and stunning views of the lush gardens, are the perfect place to reflect on or prepare for your safari. The interiors strike the perfect balance between old-world elegance and contemporary comfort and feature eye-catching pieces of African art. Each en-suite cottage features a king-size bed with a mosquito net, a lounge with a fireplace, as well as satellite television and Wi-Fi. There is also a complimentary mini-bar, fruit basket and a coffee and tea station. The bathrooms have a vanity with double basins, a deep-soaking bathtub, a rain shower, a separate toilet and a full range of amenities.
Family Cottages
(2 ROOMS) Our two family cottages, Kahawa and Meru, exude old-world elegance without compromising modern comforts. Each family cottage has two en-suite bedrooms connected by a spacious living room complete with a fireplace, as well as satellite television and Wi-Fi. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom complete with a shower and deep-soaking bathtub, and the second bedroom has twin beds with an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Each cottage features a spacious verandah where you can enjoy views of the lush tropical gardens.

Legendary Lodge Spa (additional charge)
Whether you're returning from your safari or preparing for your journey into Tanzania's wilderness, spend some time indulging in the selection of pampering treatments available at our in-house spa. For your convenience, certain treatments are available in the privacy of your cottage or in a secluded garden spot. Treatments are available at an additional charge. Please enquire about the spa menu.
Shopping excursions
Shopping in Arusha offers a fantastic opportunity to experience and learn more about Tanzania's vibrant cultures. Guests staying at Legendary Lodge have the option of several shopping excursions. The Cultural Heritage Centre is one of the most comprehensive curio shops, with genuine antiques and African artwork, as well as an outstanding selection of gemstones, including the legendary Tanzanite and Tsavorite. For those passionate about true community upliftment, then Shanga is the place. A heartwarming project dedicated to empowering the disabled community, Shanga produces unique hand-made glass and beaded products from recycled materials. Trawl the Maasai market and discover a wide selection of handmade art, woodwork, textiles, clothing, jewellery and other beadwork — and take the opportunity to engage in some friendly bartering with the Maasai shopkeepers while you're at it. Legendary Lodge's own boutique also offers a range of jewellery, clothing and bags. Please enquire about transfer options.
Coffee tours (additional charge)
Not forgetting the beginnings of this century-old estate, Legendary Lodge is surrounded by a working coffee plantation. Guests can spend a morning following a coffee bean from tree to cup: from the agriculture, to picking and roasting, to the making of that delicious blend many of us enjoy at home, as Tanzanian coffee is exported far and wide. Coffee tours take place on Legendary Lodge's neighboring Burka Coffee farm.
Safari day trips (additional charge)
Legendary Lodge is on the doorstep of several wonderful protected wilderness areas that make for unforgettable day trips. Day trips to nearby national parks, including Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, can be arranged on-site with the lodge manager.
Helicopter adventures (additional charge)
Elevate your safari experience to new heights with a private helicopter excursion. The helicopter is available for private transfers between properties, stunning scenic excursions, or as the ultimate aerial adventure for your entire safari circuit. Enquire for rates and further information.
