The Lodge

Laba Mama Simba

Set within a 700-hectare private estate near Arusha, Laba Mama Simba is the ideal place to begin or end a Tanzanian journey — barely 35 minutes from Kilimanjaro International Airport, yet a world away from it. Resident wildlife roams the grounds, including the lodge's two adopted giraffes, and the gentle pace makes it an easy reset after a long flight or a final night before heading home.

Elegant, light-filled suites look out over the estate and its grazing herds, while wide verandahs, a swimming pool and unhurried dining invite you to slow down. It is a refined, restful gateway that sets the tone for the adventure ahead.
