Aishi Machame Hotel — Hotel in Kilimanjaro

The hotel amazed us with its grounds! Many people write that the hotel is good for the nights before and after the climb — and yes, that’s true, but apart from sleep and a hot shower, there’s definitely plenty to see and do here!|1 – Monkeys live on the property. I spent several hours quietly observing these fascinating animals.|2 – The cutest rabbits — not one, not two, not three, but a whole bunch of them! You can ask for some carrots in the restaurant and even feed them yourself.|3 – The hotel has a special spot for bushbabies: in the evening, the staff turn on a special red light that attracts these little creatures (though I’m not sure what draws them more — the red light or the bananas, lol). I was lucky enough to meet a baby bushbaby!|4 – There are also two large land tortoises living on the property, but you have to be lucky to spot them.||As for the hotel itself — only good things to say: the rooms are spacious and bright, there’s a good laundry service, delicious food in the restaurant, a pool, and sun loungers for relaxing by the water. Towels are provided for free. The staff are friendly and unobtrusive — no tipping pressure or any unpleasant practices. We were completely satisfied...

We stayed at Aishi Machame for 2 nights, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The hotel is ideally located near the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro — in fact, the Machame Gate, one of the main starting points for the Kilimanjaro climb, is just a 5-minute drive away. Naturally, the hotel is popular with climbers preparing for or returning from their trek. One of the highlights is the stunning view of Kilimanjaro from the hotel’s terrace — a truly memorable sight. The property itself is set amidst lush greenery, with a river flowing through the campus and plenty of trees all around, giving it a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. There’s also a rabbit feeding pen, which adds a fun, family-friendly touch. The rooms and bathrooms are on the smaller side, which may not suit everyone, but they are spotlessly clean, and the housekeeping is excellent. Breakfast is complimentary and varies between a buffet or à la carte depending on the number of guests. The food was delicious, and the staff were warm, friendly, and always helpful — their hospitality really stood out. A great base for climbers or anyone looking to relax in a serene, green setting near...
