Africa Amini Maasai Lodge

Africa Amini Maasai Lodge is a profoundly authentic retreat during your safari. Here you can delve deep into Maasai culture, unwind, and reflect on the unforgettable impressions of the day amidst untouched nature.

What Awaits You at Africa Amini Maasai Lodge

In the heart of the vast, untouched Maasai Steppe, handcrafted bungalows await you, built with great attention to detail by the Maasai themselves – traditional yet equipped with necessary comforts. The lodge is entirely run by the local community, offering you a rare, genuine insight into their centuries-old traditions. This isn't a tourist show, my friend; this is living culture. I've spent many evenings here – especially the unobstructed starry sky, so clear and vast, and the traditional Maasai songs gently drifting through the night, are unforgettable. It touches the soul, believe me.

Your Accommodation

• Type: Traditional round huts (often called "Manyattas" or "Bomas"), built from mud and natural materials, each with its own small, private veranda.
• Facilities: You'll find an en-suite bathroom with a hot water shower (powered by the sun up here!), comfortable beds with mosquito nets, charming local-style furnishings with European accents, and solar power for evening light. Simple, but everything you need is there.
• Highlight: The direct view from your terrace onto the endless plains of the steppe and, on a clear day, the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Imagine sitting there with a cool drink, the sun setting, and Kibo glowing in the distance – that's pure Africa!

Food & Drinks

The restaurant at the lodge is more than just a place to eat; it's a meeting point. Here, you'll be treated to freshly prepared meals featuring both international classics and traditional Swahili dishes. Many ingredients are sourced locally or from their own garden. Dinner under the African starry sky, often accompanied by the sounds of the wilderness, is usually a very special experience. Sometimes, meals are even served around a campfire – that’s quite something!

Location of Africa Amini Maasai Lodge

The lodge is beautifully secluded and idyllically situated in the Maasai Steppe, between Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. The precise coordinates are approximately -3.075300 latitude and 37.050100 longitude, if you want to be exact. It's the perfect place to enjoy the incredible tranquility of African nature and experience authentic cultural encounters, far from the usual hustle and bustle. It's an interesting drive from Arusha to get here; even the journey itself is part of the adventure.
