A superb holiday tailored for those who want to see the best of northern Tanzania, but with more time to...
Arusha Planet Lodge is a comfortable and well run lodge; we like it for its reliability, warm service and the smooth start it offers to safari adventures.
Arusha Planet Lodge is a comfortable, well-run lodge that suits guests looking for a calm and comfortable start or finish to a Tanzanian safari. Set in leafy gardens on the outskirts of Arusha, it offers a welcome sense of space and tranquillity while remaining conveniently close to Arusha Airport and the main northern safari circuit.
The lodge is small and thoughtfully laid out, with spacious rooms, good beds, modern bathrooms and private verandas overlooking the gardens or pool. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, with warm, attentive service and a feeling that everything is quietly taken care of. It is not about theatrical luxury, but about comfort, reliability and ease.
Most of our guests use Arusha Planet Lodge as a staging point, but there is time to enjoy the pleasant swimming pool, spa treatments and consistently good food. Light excursions can be arranged, including local market visits or coffee experiences, offering a gentle introduction to Tanzania.
At Safari & Beach, we like Arusha Planet Lodge because it is dependable and honest. It provides a smooth, restful transition between flights and safari, which is exactly what discerning travellers need at this point in their journey.

I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
Many thanks for a truly great holiday! Nyerere National Park was a great success as we saw the wild dogs on 2 occasions and some great lion kills. In fact we saw a pride of 10 lion including cubs within 10 mins of landing in the Nyerere National Park! Zanzibar was wonderful! The sunshine hotel was beautiful and the staff were lovely.
The welcome and kindness and generosity we have received, in all of our camps and stops has been tremendous. Although we have both travelled a lot over our years together, we both agree this holiday has been outstanding, and one of the best experiences of our lives.
Thank you for organising a fabulous holiday for us – memories of which will last a lifetime. We have arrived back completely awed by Tanzania and Zanzibar. We saw the all the wildlife we could possibly wish to see. Our driver was charming and looked after us brilliantly. Lodges were excellent and food fantastic.
