This social project is truly inspiring, and the lodge and surrounding gardens a haven for wildlife and visitors. It is situated rather a long way away from the main road, so at the end of a long day, it was an interminably long and terribly bumpy journey to reach the lodge, but it proved well worth it. The food was... More

Stayed here for a few days in March before starting a safari. Besides the lodge supporting a good cause, it is a very pleasant place to stay. The boys, supervised by Frank (the manager) do their very best to provide you with the best service possible and are very friendly and motivated. Rooms are small but nice and the view... More

As the "eco tourism" business picks up speed, the idea of a community-focused and sustainable lodge experience is clearly a step above the rest. That it pulls it off shouldn't be a surprise - the foundation that runs it focuses on strict training and apprenticeships to meet rigorous standards. We were fortunate enough to be there for the unveiling of... More

We stayed at Kiboko lodge as a base for exploring Arusha National Park. The staff were welcoming; indeed the word "karibu" or "welcome" was repeated often. We had a delightful bungalow overlooking the swampland and were told that there was often had a resident hippo visiting during rainy season. The bungalow was very comfortable, with an interesting layout separating shower... More

Kiboko Lodge is run by former street kids who have been trained to the highest standard. This is a wonderful place to stay. It is located in rural Tanzania about 45 min drive from Kilimanjaro. We stayed for 3 nights and could have stayed longer. All staff are well trained and attend to your every need. We asked at the... More

At first look, Kiboko Lodge was a bit daunting. It is an 8km. drive down a very bumpy dirt road from the main highway and it would appear that you are driving into the middle of nowhere. Well, in a way, that is true. It is an oasis in the middle of jungle and banana plantations. The staff are lovely... More

What a find this little lodge was! Absolutely perfect. I went just for a one night get away, needing a bit of downtime, peace and quiet and that's exactly what I got. The rooms are very clean and well appointed, with a private outside seating area looking out over the beautiful landscape and the big beds are very cosy and... More

This was teh second place we stayed in Tanzania. The rooms (chalets) are beautiful and spacious, with an excellent and large double bed. From your personal porch you look out over a swampy area (hippo's!) and a beautiful sunset on mount Meru. Lots of weaverbirds around and at night a large flock of ibis are sleeping in the trees near... More

Our visit to Tanzania this July ended at the Kiboko. It was so special! The evening started with a nice cold Mt. Kilimanjaro beer as we sat outside looking right at Mt. Kilimanjaro. Then the delicious dinner with local specialties was served with care and flare. There were some introductions of the guys and even a couple of songs. As... More
