Hotels near Viewpoint Mt Kilimanjaro, Arusha

From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a magical place (and in a heartbeat decided to extend our stay). Not only does staying here impact the bottom line of the multiple ways the Africa Amini foundation supports local health and community projects, there’s so much on offer, all without any sense of urgency or push. The team were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, Pearl, Lucas, Malachi - all utterly brilliant with our kids. The food (oh my…) was seriously impeccable - truly the best we had in our whole Tanzanian trip - made with love and brought to a wonderfully laid table right outside our accommodation - with the bonus of waking to find an unexpected giraffe casually mooching through our garden one morn, then serenaded by the sound of bush babies as we ate in the evenings. The swimming pool, grounds, coffee bar and even the micro gift shop - all perfection. The story behind its inception and the progress they’ve built here in the area is truly inspirational. I visited the incredible Africa Amini Alama Clinic (about 10 mins drive away) for a booked massage which was wonderful, if a little selfish compared to all the excursions on offer to locally-founded schools and working co-operatives. You get a real sense of the good they do in one short visit so I’d recommend it highly. The property itself that we stayed in was unique - homely in style, thoughtfully rustic but with a wonderful attention to detail, brimming with a genuine warmth. We could have happily stayed a month or more in this hidden gem that we feel blessed to have discovered. Nashukuru to you all.

Nice place and very nice and helpful people. Thank you for the perfect servis. We loved our stay very much.

The house is beatifully made with good craftsmanship and superb aestethics. Keeping with the beatiful nature surrounding it. A lot of attention has been made to details like the hemmed mosquitonets and the frosting on the bedroom door with the silhuette of Mt.Meru and little Meru. The garden is just as exquisite as the house, and besides enjoying relaxing on the deck, which on clear days has views of Kilimanjaro, you also have the option to let the chickens roam the garden. They are quite friendly if you let them, but they wont bother you. I am sure if you ask nicely, you can also buy fresh eggs every day. You can drive up to the house in a normal car if you take the last bit pole pole. If you arrive by bus Sunday can take you. He can also help with shopping or organising any tours you would want. He is very kind, serviceminded and very proffesionel! You will be in the best hands!! As well as northerns circuit, Kilimanjaro etc. he can also organise a tour to Arusha nat. Park which I higly recommend! The walking safari is not to be missed! The owners, brothers and Sunday was so nice to me and always checking in to see if I was ok or needed anything. I felt quite spoiled 😁 My best recommendations for this place. It is not to be missed! Asante Sana - till we meet again.
