Kaliwa Lodge Kilimanjaro

A UNIQUE DESIGN BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Kaliwa Lodge sits at 1300m, nestled amidst the tropical vegetation of Kilimanjaro's mountain rainforest. The climate is mild, and the setting is magical. Enjoy a sundowner from our deck, while watching Kilimanjaro's snow-covered summit peeking out through the clouds. Look down into the densely forested Weru Weru River Valley far below. Relax in cozy bungalows, surrounded by towering eucalyptus trees, stands of banana, and cascades of fuschia-hued bougainvillea. Fall asleep under a blanket of stars to the chirping of crickets and the laughter of bush babies. Awaken to the haunting cry of the hornbill and the chattering of monkeys.

Only 30km from Kilimanjaro International Airport and just minutes from Kilimanjaro National Park's Machame entrance gate, our hotel is ideally situated to start or end the Kilimanjaro's hiking. Take your well-deserved rest after climbing the highest mountain in Africa. Moshi town, the bustling regional capital, is an easy 20km drive to the east on good tarmac, and there are many attractions to explore in the area. Over the years, Kaliwa's dedicated staff have welcomed safari-goers and trekkers from all over the world, and its terrace with a unique view of Mt. Kilimanjaro, has become a popular venue for yoga retreats.

Whatever your reasons for visiting, we extend a warm welcome.

DINING

Kaliwa's gastronomic restaurant is at the heart of our lodge. It is here where Lina, our chef, and her talented team create the fusion cuisine that has become one of the restaurant's hallmarks. 

Don't miss our Green Papaya Salad, Fish in Banana Leaf, and our famous Passion Fruit Ice Cream, all homemade with fresh ingredients from the garden. Our background has encompassed Europe, Asia, and Africa in our wanderings, and in designing our menu, we have endeavored to fuse the flavors of these continents into an unforgettable culinary experience for our guests.
