Summit Safari Lodge

We spent one night here each before and after our safari. The Summit Lodge is not so much a lodge as it is a hotel located up the hill from the main road, but more on the outskirts of Arusha, so not much in the area. This was fine for us, as we arrived late afternoon and were heading out early the next day. The rooms are spacious and clean, the beds comfortable. Good selection of food in the restaurant, great place for a sundowner, as there is a fantastic view of Mount Meru from the rooftop terrace. The breakfast buffet was good, plenty of options. The staff is super helpful and friendly. It was no problem to leave our luggage at the Summit Lodge while we were out on safari.

Comfortable beds and clean rooms, very hospitable staff and many food options on the rooftop restaurant. Not in the best location but the staff are happy to arrange taxis for you and Renata was so helpful and friendly for our stay. Felt super safe and comfortable.

During my 25 days self drive adventure around Tanzania , I had to break the journey in Arusha where I booked an overnight stay at this property . The hotel is price friendly and good service - the reception lady took her time to explain everything about the accommodations . I noted a few things . 1. 4% credit card surcharge on payment machine and it was the first hotel that charged me that in Tanzania during the entire trip . 2. The water of the pool was green, then considering that swimming wasn’t an option . 3. Breakfast wasn’t good since they only served me with bread and coffee as the available option . Regardless of the above , I enjoyed my time in Arusha . I would recommend the hotel budget travelers .

from the moment we walked in everything was fabulous. Reception, Vanessa was full of smiles and was so welcoming. She had to deal with my father and I which my dad wanted a room of his own. Without any hassle Vanessa rung Harriet and they organised and I paid for the extra room. Harriet was very accomodating and professional she made it so easy as there was alittle bit of an issue my end. Both Girls are 5 Star. The resturant staff are amazing they are very attentive, quick and professional (thank you for the popcorn that was a treat). Compliements to the Chefs they service awesome food and nice and hot. We had Rooms 203 and 208 they both had everything you need, nice to have a fridge and the beds are soft and comfy. Nice hot showers with all the extra soaps etc you need. Nothing was ever an issue staff were always so helpful and very friendly and always carried a smile. It definately is a place to come and relax after your game drives and they have a nice pool, a little supermarket is only around the corner so that was handy too. All up I will be back and I recommend people to book this Lodge. 5 stars all round.

The place was great the rooms too were amazing big and very clean.The staffs too very punctual.The food was nice too and enough although I would suggest you give clients more options.And also it's a little hard to allocate the hotel kindly do a sign board or do a name on the top for easy allocation.
