The day I wrote to Philip Kilewo, the owner of the Mt Kilimanjaro View Lodge, I had just 3 weeks left before my departure to Tanzania. The trip was supposed to happen during the low season and the companies I contacted in Switzerland and Germany could not offer any groups to join. E-mail communication with MKVL wasn’t perfect and I... More

The lodge and the people running it were wonderful--food very, very good and included in the price per night. The rain forest, the views, the hut, romantic and exceptional. It was the last days in Tanzania and for me it was perfect. My friend and I had completed a walking /camping trek of Nainokanoka to Embulbul crater to Lake Natron--dry... More

This place is amazing. High, high up on the slopes of Killie....driving there in the dark after our plane arrived and then waking in the morning to the huge magnificent view of Killie right outside our hut. Our safari company had told us to use the Lodge's transportation from the airport which was a good suggestion. The hut was small... More

This place is brilliant and an adventure into itself, offering what are probably the best views of Kili in Tanzania. But let me start at the beginning... We had gone from Dar to Moshi by bus immediately after our plane landed, which meant that by the time we stood under the Moshi sun we were exhausted, verging on delirious. Phillip... More

Kili View Lodge is a very special place. Sitting high (approx 2000 meters) with a spectacular view of the lofty Mt. Kilimanjaro and the lush valley below, it is a rustic experience that should not be missed. Phillip has built this serene place of cabins with grass thatched roofs nestled into the hill about the main dining lodge. The food... More

A group of volunteers spent a weekend with Mount Kilimanjaro View Lodge in December and it was one of the best weekend's we've had in Tanzania so far. Everything was taken care of for us, transportation, guide, food, accommodation, and cultural experiences. We spent Saturday hiking to Marangu Waterfalls with a very informative guide who took us to a Chagga... More

We would be on the road all night long from home to Tanzania. So we needed a nice place to relax before starting to discover Tanzania. Kilimanjaro View Lodge turned out to be the right choice from the first moment with the hospitality of the team and the beautiful surrounding. After the holiday we wished we could spare more days...

This lodge is not just a place to sleep, it is an experience of a life time. It is very hard to describe the feelings I have for these people but I will try. The minute we arrived at this lodge we felt very special! The staff welcomes guests with traditional music and fresh flowers. I will never forget the... More

Every moment of our stay at the Kiliview Lodge felt as though we were honored guests of a friend’s home. We are students and had lived in East Africa for 3.5 months before visiting this lodge, and had seen many of the lodges of this region, and this was by far the most unique, welcoming and homey one that we...

This is an ultimate experience with the possibility of a very intense contact to the local chagga tribe. I had some wonderful days with the very friendly owner and stuff. It was hard for me to leave this place. You can undertake beautyful walks through rain forest, talk with local people, visit a primary school, which left a very deep... More
