Hatari Lodge, a ‘luxury bush hotel’, consists of three buildings beautifully situated in acacia woodland allowing breathtaking views of the Momella meadow, rich with wildlife and at a close distance the majestic Kilimanjaro. Hatari Lodge offers nine comfortably furnished rooms, each with an open fireplace and a spacious bathroom.

Every room has been lovingly furnished and decorated in a modern retro style, paying tribute to the 60’s and 70’s – the era of ‘Hatari’! For Jörg, Marlies and Donyo Gabriel it is a dream come true – or simply home! By combining their professional background and unique talents, the Gabriel’s have diligently restored Hatari Lodge to its legendary glory. They have created a unique and sophisticated luxury lodge in which every room has been individually designed and furnished to reflect the distinct style and history of Hatari.

In 2004, the Gabriel’s opened the doors of Hatari Lodge, attracting visitors from around the world. Here they have combined the idyllic setting with the rich history of the place and their own ecological awareness to create a unique atmosphere that is sure to enthrall every safari enthusiast.

COMFORT & STYLE

Hatari Lodge consists of three buildings beautifully situated within acacia woodland allowing excellent views of the Momella meadow, rich with wildlife, at a close distance the majestic Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. The oldest building serves as a large central living and dining room where you find a comfortable relaxation and dining area. Sitting around the open fireplace, which Krüger and Mallory enjoyed so much, we entertain our guests with inside information on the flora, fauna and history of Arusha National Park. Enjoy the freshly prepared dishes of international modern cuisine which are served here. There is a long bar, which can be accessed from both inside and out, as well as a small, but informative library. The breakfast terrace, bordered by sweet smelling acacias, offers impressive views of Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro.

Directly below the terrace lies the Momella clearing, which can be reached via a boardwalk to the viewing platform which offers the opportunity to watch the wild animals at close range, and to enjoy classic sundowners, with Kilimanjaro on the background.

Buffalos and waterbuck feed here regularly and warthogs can be seen digging the ground or mowing the lawn. Water birds enjoy the swampy areas and numerous giraffes including the rare reticulated giraffes feed on the trees surrounding the lodge. The bush babies are also a common sight at night throughout the year and there is a small lake within walking distance, called Silver Lake, where Hippos can be found. Hatari Lodge offers nine comfortably furnished rooms, each with an open fireplace and a spacious ensuite bathroom. Each room has been lovingly furnished and decorated by Marlies Gabriel in the modern retro style, as a tribute to the 60s and 70s – the time of the “Hatari!” movie as well as the beginning of safaris in Tanzania.

COUNTRY & CULTURE

Tanzania lies in East Africa bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and The Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the south. The country's eastern border lies on the Indian Ocean.

Hatari Lodge at the foot of Mt. Meru is deeply connected with the tribe of the Meru people who live in this area. While on safari in the Arusha National Park or on a walk through Momella Village you have the opportunity to get to know the Meru and their living traditions.
