About Arusha
 
 
 
 
 
Hatari Lodge, originally known as Ngongongare Farm, is situated at a malaria free altitude above 5.000 ft on the northern edge of Arusha National Park, with its unspoilt views of lakes and craters, its magical rain forests, and the 4,566 meter high dormant volcano Mount Meru, rising elegantly in the background.
 

Hatari offers 8 comfortably furnished rooms, each with an open fireplace and a spacious bathroom en suite. Each room has been lovingly furnished and decorated by Marlies in the modern retro style, giving tribute to the 60’s and 70’s - the time of "Hatari!" and the beginning of safaris in Tanzania.

Hatari Lodge consists of three buildings beautifully situated within acacia woodland allowing excellent views onto the Momella meadow rich with wildlife and across to the majestic Kilimanjaro. The oldest building serves as a large central living and dining room. Here you will find comfortable relaxation and dining areas, where guests will enjoy Jonathans' delicious five star cuisines.

 
Here, you will also find a long bar, which can be accessed from both in-and outside, as well as a small, but informative library. The breakfast terrace, bordered by sweet smelling acacias, offers impressive views of Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro.
 

Directly below the terrace, lies the Momella clearing, which can also be reached via a boardwalk. A viewing platform offers the opportunity to watch animals from close by, and to enjoy classic sundowners, with Kilimanjaro in the background. Every day buffaloes and waterbuck feed here. Warthogs dig around in the ground or mow the lawn, water birds enjoy the swampy areas and numerous giraffes come to visit at the doors of the lodge.

Depending on the season, elephants make their way into the meadow, and on moon lit nights, with a little bit of luck, leopards, genets and civets may be seen. In the trees around the lodge, there are bush babies almost 365 nights of the year. A “Hippo Pool”, a small lake inhabited permanently by hippos, is within walking distance.
