Our Rating: Simple
Moivaro Coffee Plantation
Arusha
Moivaro Coffee Plantation is owned and managed by the enthusiastic Gijs de Raadt.
Situated in the foothills of Mount Meru it is a basic lodge but peaceful and a good place to start a safari to the North.
The main lodge, built of stone and thatch, houses a dining room, bar, cosy living room with open fire and long shady veranda where many meals are taken. There is a large lawn with swimming pool and lots of little walking trails leading from the lodge up into the hills.
From the lodge, small gravel paths lead to 41 rooms, dotted around the extensive grounds and hidden from one another by bougainvillea plants, coffee plants, passion fruit and a profusion of other flowers and trees.
Inside the cottages are simple with beds, nets, en suite bathrooms and small latticed windows. Each cottage has its own veranda with comfortable chairs and views of the garden or mountains.
