Book NowKiserian–Mbuni · Arusha, Tanzania
A boutique lodge above Arusha, where the savanna meets the sky. Quiet gardens, golden evenings, and the kind of hospitality that lingers long after you leave.
Karibu — welcome
Mbuni means ostrich in Swahili — a nod to the open plains that roll away below our gardens, and to a way of moving through the world that this lodge was built around: unhurried, observant, generous.
Perched above Arusha on the Kiserian road, we're close enough to town to be effortless and far enough to feel a world away. Eighteen rooms and cottages, an infinity pool that meets the highland sky, and a safari desk that treats every itinerary as a small work of art.

Why Mbuni
Moments
Finding us
We sit on the Kiserian–Mbuni road on the highland rim of Arusha — forty minutes from the airport, ninety minutes from Tarangire's gates, and a world away from the schedules you left behind.
Arrive by road, or let us arrange a private transfer at any hour. The last stretch is the best part: the road climbs, the air turns cool, and the lodge appears at the end of a lantern-lit path.
