Original Maasai Lodge – Africa Amini Life

This amazing lodge is my favarite hotel in Tanzania simply because: 1. Clear Kilimanjaro view !! Mount Meru view!! 2. The free activies they provide are better than those I paid and booked inadvance, they just surprise you everyday. 3. If you want a authentic masai experience,this is the place for you. 4. Great food, especially the lamb BBQ and fresh fruits. 5. Great Service, the masai staff are so hospitable and always smile at you. 6. Great wifi,even in the room. 7. 24 hours hot water,amazing room decoration.

It was a great experience. The place is unique and the people are extraordinarily welcoming. We didn't feel as just being in a hotel; we felt as part of the family. To authentically experience the life of the Massai was a transformative encounter that will resonate with us for a long time. The houses are original, authentic and very creatively designed with great love to detail, blending tradition with modern commodities and giving a very homely feel. There are viewpoints around the area, allowing to really appreciate the unique location between Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro (which can also be seen from some of the huts).

We spent one night one night at the Lodge and were absolutely overwhelmed by the view from our room as well as the hospitality. We've also enjoyed the cultural program (spear throwing, Maasai dance) and the excellent food. On our departure day we had a young Maasai guiding us on a walking safari, learning a lot about history, tradition and also the future plans of our young guide.

Absolutely wonderful houses and people. We loved it. Run by Maasai people. Great breakfast. Rooms are so cozy and with all amenities. Stunning pool with a view on the Mt Kilimanjaro. Staff so friendly. They teach you a lot about the traditional life of the Maasai people.

Africa Amini Lodge is not just a lodge—it’s a 5-star haven nestled in a breathtaking remote location with Mount Kilimanjaro as the perfect backdrop. The staff, all Maasai, deliver hospitality straight from the heart, making every moment unforgettable. From spear throwing to cultural overviews at sunset, bonfire storytelling, and serene morning nature walks, the activities are beautifully immersive and engaging throughout the day. The chef’s culinary skills are exceptional, accommodating all dietary needs with delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The cherry on top? The stunning swimming pool with an unrivaled view of Mount Kilimanjaro! Africa Amini Lodge is a true gem, blending luxury with authentic cultural experiences. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an extraordinary getaway! I highly recommend it,

A really good introduction to our stay close to Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. The staff were so generous in showing us their talents and traditions, such as dancing and singing, spear throwing and riding... Our ten year old kids were very enthusiastic. We were sleeping in three spacious old style rooms with a magnificent view over the surroundings.
