Kilimanjaro Scenic Lodge — Hotel in Kilimanjaro

We stayed here for our honeymoon following the successful hike up Kilimanjaro and a Safari trip in the Seregenti. ||It was the perfect spot to relax and take in our African adventures from the two weeks before. It is a very well kept establishment that’s the definition of beautiful and the waiting staff and cook bend over backwards to make sure you are happy. On our last night the chef made one of the best curries we had ever tasted! The manager Gabriel also is absolutely lovely with so much knowledge about the area and will offer some days out with you so you can see the surrounding waterfalls and caves. He took us to a great coffee plantation where we learnt the full roasting process and got to try fresh coffee. ||On site you will find, a fully stocked bar and restaurant (catered for a pescatarian like me as well as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options) warm water, laundry (hand washed by staff), garden, outside swing lounger and Kilimanjaro views. ||Also don’t be worried about the journey in because it looks like you’re in the middle of no where but all of a sudden you will see the treetop house and notice how beautiful the site is. It’s completely safe and you’ll realise it’s perfectly located within Moshi. ||All in all - this was absolutely perfect for some down time to refresh and would be great for those who need to carb load and prepare for the kili hike (there were a few guests who were preparing to ascent when we were there). It’s a the hidden gem which we were so satisfied by and glad...

spent 3 nights at Kilimanjaro Scenic Lodge, and it was truly a memorable experience. The lodge is owned and operated by Mr. Gabriel, who made us feel completely at home. The property is peaceful, surrounded by beautiful nature—an ideal place to relax and recharge.||What really made the difference was Mr. Gabriel’s incredible hospitality. He helped us arrange transportation from the airport, transfers to Arusha, and even local tours to explore nearby adventures. From a Moshi-style barbecue to finding medicine when we needed it, he took care of everything with genuine care.||The homemade meals were delicious and gave us the energy we needed after our Kilimanjaro climb. We especially enjoyed our long conversations with Mr. Gabriel about Tanzanian culture—his deep respect for community and tradition shines through in everything he does.||Mr. Gabriel puts is incredibly resourceful and passionate—whether it’s organizing safaris, cooking local cuisine, or curating authentic experiences. If you’re looking for genuine hospitality and a place that feels like home, Kilimanjaro Scenic Lodge is the...

The location of the hotel is close to the city. The rooms are clean and the breakfast included in the price is delicious. I didn't like that the owner Gabriel turned off the wifi and we had to keep asking if we could use it. We always feel pressured to eat in the hotel restaurant and consume drinks. Even once we brought food from outside, he got very angry and started yelling at his employee Lucy, to the point that she was crying. Lucy always took good care of us and she was very kind to us. Gabriel always wants to take advantage of customers, asking that we pay in cash and not with a credit card. He even offered us to cancel the reservations and make them directly with him to avoid the commission with Expidia. Be very careful with this...
