The Milimani Lodge
Perched on a hill in Arusha, The Milimani Lodge offers sweeping views and a relaxed, garden-set atmosphere about 1.9 miles from the Old German Boma. With just 12 rooms across two floors, it has a personal, small-lodge feel rather than the scale of a larger hotel.
Rooms
Rooms feature balconies or patios with mountain views, along with a refrigerator, free toiletries, and tiled floors. Several guests have highlighted the comfortable beds and spacious feel of the rooms.
Dining
The on-site restaurant offers an a la carte menu and chefβs specials, and the lodge can host small conferences for up to 20 participants with WiFi and video conferencing facilities.
Location
Located about 5.6 miles from Arusha Airport and within easy reach of the Arusha Clock Tower, Maasai Market, and the Natural History Museum, with views over Mount Meru and the surrounding hills.

The Milimani Lodge offers a hilltop perch with genuine Mount Meru views at a modest price point, and many guests highlight the warm staff, comfortable beds, and rooftop terrace. Reviews are mixed on maintenance consistency, so travellers prioritising polish over character may prefer a higher-tier alternative, but for a budget-friendly base with a view, it remains a reasonable choice.β The SafariBando team
