The Milimani Lodge was the perfect place to stay after a safari. The room was spacious, clean, and well air-conditioned. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, food was great, and the property had a wonderful garden to relax. Would definitely stay again on my next visit to Arusha.

A welcome stay.

I travelled to Arusha for business and was pleased with my room, atmosphere and well-tended garden. This is a small (family type hotel and I definitely would return there. It is near some of the large tourist-level hotels and more 'authentic' to an earlier style of good hotels.

Nice place to stay when in Arusha

The Milimani Lodge is a nice middle sized lodge with a friendly atmosphere and personal attention. Comfort is good and certainly worth 3*. It lies quietly on walking distance in a residential area, some 3 km from the clocktower in the centre of Arusha, in a side road from Old Moshi Road. The restaurant is nice, only the 2 times we ordered a fish dish, it was not nice.
