Stayed here before and after both our trek and safari. Some rooms are definately better than others. And the service leaves a little to be desired. However, the atmoshpere is good, location is good and it is a place that presents a great oppurtunity to meet with fellow travelers. The food is good, but once again, service could be better....

I disagree with the greek defination of 3* here : "average" . I do not know how is the english version but since 4* is "very good" then the 3* should be "good". That's my description about Outpost Lodge (and the one I gave at the tittle here also).

I needed a place to stay for a couple of nights before and in between a safari to Nogorgoro and climbing Kili. The Outpost was perfect. I felt safe and able to relax-weather by the pool or reading a book in one of its comfy chairs. My room was spacy and clean with a mozzie net and kettle and basics... More

We stayed at Outpost Lodge for a few nights during our two week stay in Tanzania. We booked our Kili Climb and Safari thru Focus In Africa and this was the hotel that was provided thru them. The service at the hotel was excellent, though slow, but you learn that this is standard when it comes to service in Tanzania.... More

We spent one night here (in a triple room, S3), before heading out on a 7 day safari. We arrived somewhat late (a bit after 9PM), but they got us checked in promptly, without any issues or delays. The room itself was clean, and the beds comfortable. All the beds had mosquito netting hanging around them, although we did find... More

We recently stayed here during our honeymoon. We booked a Kili climb with Focus in Africa and this is the hotel they use. We ended up using this place as a pied a terre during our 3 week stay in Tanzania. It's a cute little place admist many trees and greenery in Arusha. The food is fine and the people... More

This is a basic but clean hotel with ensuite rooms, not all of which had warm water when we stayed. The showers in our block left a lot to be desired but other rooms had no problems with showers or hot water. The food at the restaurant is very good, but the service is slow, by western standards with a... More

I have given a positive review about this establishment before, and am happy to say it again! It still meets our somewhat unique requirements of being a pleasant, safe and ideally situated place to stay for we who live in the bush, but require just such a place to stay when on town trips for meetings/supply runs etc. As ever,...
