Start your safari at Legendary Lodge, a coffee plantation just 15 minutes from downtown Arusha. This classic homestead is the perfect launchpad for the Northern Safari circuit, where ‘bean there, done that’ takes on a whole new flavour. Arabica or Rusticato, tour this working coffee farm to learn which bean is best. Daily yoga here is like a double shot of espresso. Kick off your day with a rejuvenating session or indulge in a jetlag-busting spa treatment.
Wander the lush tropical gardens, playing ‘Name that Tree.’ Take a refreshing dip in the pool, or challenge yourself to a round of bocce ball—no sweat required. Savour an ice-cold cocktail—Hemingway-style—on the wrap-around verandah.
At Legendary Lodge, nestled at the base of Mount Meru, an existential question lingers: should one climb the mountain to see the world or sit back with a freshly brewed cuppa and let the world come to you? We think the answer’s obvious.
