We are lucky to have been invited to stay at Hatari Lodge a few times over the past few years. During our first few stays we knew the place was nice but didn't realize just how amazing it was. Now that we've had more years of experience staying at a variety of accommodation in Tanzania we have more perspective. And I can say that Hatari Lodge is one of my favorite places to stay in Tanzania. Not only does it have a stunning setting, now inside Arusha National Park, but it has impeccable service and beautiful furnishings with extreme attention to detail. I'll be completely honest and say that the place is far above my usual standards but done in a very tasteful way that was not too opulent yet very luxurious. Furnishings aside, the way the lodge is built within the landscape of acacia trees and grassland means that buffalo and giraffe frequently wander through the area and Mt. Meru is visible in the mornings towering over the lodge.
The few times we had visited before had only been a stop over so this was the first time we were truly able to enjoy the place. We were invited for Christmas Eve dinner and joined a large group of Germans for Christmas festivities. I hope we get to return soon!
