This review was written by my husband, Richard. I had occasion to visit my hometown for a 20th year anniversary. My accommodations at the Motel 6 on Lomaland couldn't have been more perfect for this was not a large an crowded property and while offering close proximity to I-10, it still had a pleasant seclusion. From my arrival to departure, the staff was exceptionally courteous and genuine which would help put anyone at ease. My accommodations were on the east side of the building. The property was tidy and the...

Our stay at Tarangire Treetops was wonderful and maybe it's even my favourite accomodation of the Elewana Collection, I just could not find anything negative about this place! We requested the tree house which is used in the Elewana Collection ad for Tarangire Treetops and the staff remembered my email about that so that was a great way to check in, they really payed attention to detail and you could really feel that! The nice thing about this specific tree house is that the branches of the Baobab Tree actually...

Upon arrival at the Tarangire Treetops Lodge we were welcomed by the amazing staff with some fresh towels and we immediately felt at home. The day could not have ended in a better way and after an exciting game drive with Elly we were guided to the boma area of the lodge. The boma is a beautiful fenced garden like space which had been built a short walk from the main reception area of Treetops to celebrate special dinner occasions. The wooden fenced area had a beautiful bon fire in the center and as we walked...

He showed us a map of the park indicating the Kuro Airstrip and the route we were going to take all the way to our hotel making the transfer an exciting game drive. We drove in direction of our next accomodation the Tarangire Treetops lodge which is part of the Elewana Collection and a fabulous place to stay at if you're looking for a safari holiday.

After our stay at the Arusha Coffee Lodge and a briefing about our upcoming Elewana safari trip it was time to head to our first hotel in the bush:) After a pickup drive from Arusha to Arusha Airport we boarded our private Cessna plane which was quite an adventure and I would advise to anyone suffering from motion sickness to take your medication at least two hours in advance to make it through;) The flight in itself was really nice and it's a great way to get a birds eye view from the Tarangire National park...

Arusha Coffee Plantation Tour

17 September 2013

After a good night's rest and a very complete breakfast at Arusha Coffee Lodge we had a pickup for our coffee plantation tour nearby the lodge. The tour was very interesting and our guide explained us how Arusha's arabica coffee beans are grown and harvested before being exported all over the world to end up at some places that we are very fond of such as Starbucks! Who would've thought. After the coffee plantation tour we had some pure arabica coffee at the beautiful gardens adjacent...
