Ilboru Safari Lodge
Nestled on the lower slopes of majestic Mt Meru, the legendary Ilboru Safari Lodge has been welcoming mountain climbers and safari travelers to northern Tanzania for decades.
Ideally located between the northern safari circuit and Mount Kilimanjaro, this beautiful Swahili sanctuary is set on a five-acre plot, tucked away beneath ancient trees on the outskirts of Arusha town.
Our focus is on providing simple comforts and excellent hospitality, crisp white linen, extra pillows, fluffy towels, a desk to write in your journal everything to make our sanctuary your home.
We have forty-eight cottages in which to accommodate our guests ~ single, double, twin, triple, and family rooms.
Four cottages are in the main building, close to the pool and other facilities, each with a balcony overlooking the garden.
The rest of the double cottages are situated throughout the lushly landscaped grounds.
