Arusha Olasiti Lodge

I recently stayed At Olasiti Lodge in Arusha at the beginning of a tour. I was given one of the attached bungalows in the garden which I found to be bright and airy.

It backed onto the cement barrier wall and the church next door as well as the laundry lines, but I just kept those windows closed and locked and there was no real impact.

Olasiti Lodge and Gardern Park is a quiet sanctuary in a flower-filled garden amid the noise and bustle of one of Africa’s heart-most city.

Shaded by jacaranda, bougainvillaea and acacia trees, the hotel is a haven located just moments from the city’s business centre and also from most of its attractions, including art and cultural institutions, shopping, nightlife and entertainment.

If you are looking for an exotic location to hold a meeting, look no further than Olasiti Conference center in Arusha.

We do provide excellent conference facilities. Meetings can be held in the buzzing city of Arusha.

Whatever your meetings requirements, Olasiti can fulfill them.

Rooms, public common areas and grounds are kept very clean. Main building is a large open building with comfortable seating areas, a bar, and television. There are no TV's in the rooms.

The dining area is at the back of the main building, open air style and very spacious and lovely.

Meals are usually buffet style, with enough selection to suit everybody. Breakfasts include variety of breads, fresh fruits, bacon, eggs, coffee/tea, juices, cereals, and made to order omelettes.

There is a small gift shop on site. You can also purchase postage stamps and mail your postcards right on the site.

There are a couple of computers in the main lobby if you wish to purchase time on the internet. Connection speed is slow.

There is a large room behind the main check-in desk where you can keep your luggage or other items if you are travelling on a safari tour and will be returning to the lodge at a later time. No cost to store your items.

Pool is large and clean, although we really didn't have any time to swim due to our tour schedule. There are vervet monkeys that live in the trees and sometimes play around the pool area.

The entire lodge is surrounded by a high wall and a gate with 24-hour security guard. Beyond the gate is a shocking contrast of luxury and poverty. Not really safe to venture out on your own by foot.

Lodge staff can arrange for a taxi or other transportation if you need it
