Great place to stay in Arusha. Very nice Garden, Huge Swimming pool and great atmosphere. Very nice staff! When I had booked friends in there a couple weeks back their taxi for an early morning transfer to the Airport was late, so the owner of Ilboru drove them to the airport himself! And this at 6 am! Great Place and... More

I stayed at the lodge over a weekend on a retreat. It was lovely. I stayed in one of the round 'boma' style rooms close to the pool. The bed was very comfortable, the mosquito net was generous, and the linen was white and fresh (always a big plus). The room was very clean. There was a good variety of... More

pleasant place to stay in Arusha with nice clean rooms, mosquito nets for every bed, and tribal style design. The pool area is great for relaxing in the sun but the pool itself is a bit dirty. Free high speed wifi all around is a major plus, even faster speeds than i get back home! Our stay booked as part... More

This is one of my top 3 hotels in Arusha, the hotel is located about 10-15 minutes from town, under the cool mount meru surroundings. It has a swimming pool, and spa in addition to the basics. Customer care is superb, two Sophias (receptionists, both share the same name Sophia) knows their work and are so welcoming, the owner is... More

Having driven up a very rutted dirt road between shacks, street sellers, children playing and shops, it was a surprise to turn into a gated Lodge with extensive gardens offering peace and quiet. Our room was on the edge of the property. It was pretty basic but clean and served its purpose for our last night in the country. The... More

Spent a night on each end of our safari at Ilboru. Location is in a quiet suburb of Arusha, up a very bumpy road. Welcome staff was really pleasant and the free wifi (when it works) is a nice touch. Rooms were ok. Shower on our first night was pretty useless, but on the return trip the room we had... More

Basic but adequate place to stay for a night or two before and after Kilimanjaro climb. Good pool area, very friendly staff and good food. However, if planning a longer stay, would look for something a little more luxurious.

Was booked here by our tour operator, before and after a Kilimanjaro trek. Nice pool, comfortable rooms. The restaurant is pretty good, especially with the local dishes (machalari, etc.). The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was much better than our stay at another place outside of Arusha (Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge). It was a good place to... More

A great introduction to the culture of Tanzania! Ilboru Safari Lodge is located on the outskirts of Arusha accessed by a narrow, very bumpy red dirt road in the middle of one of the typical neighborhoods of mud brick, wooden or corrugated metal homes. Most people also seem to run some type of business from their homes, selling produce, beverages,... More
