Discover KIA Lodge

Welcome to KIA Lodge – your door to Tanzania – just under 5 minutes drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport. The lodge is situated on a secluded hill in the heart of beautiful savannah scenery that is so typical for East Africa. Guests can admire the vast views of the African plains and of course the grand Mount Kilimanjaro that shows her snowy top mostly in the morning and at sundown. With our 40 spacious rooms, we are ready to give you a warm welcome into Tanzania.

Because of its location, KIA Lodge is an ideal oasis for arriving and departing Tanzania, climbing the Kilimanjaro, or travelling on to the northern safari destinations. The friendly service, Zanzibar style reception, typical African decorations, and tropical restaurant offer a warm welcome into Tanzanian culture. Drink a Kilimanjaro beer at the open bar, enjoy the rich species of birds in the savannah garden, or relax at our hilltop swimming pool with great views of Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru, and the Maasai plains all around.

The ideal start or end of your journey

At KIA lodge we will ensure that you are looked after in a friendly and peaceful environment, helping you to prepare for your safaris or climbs and cosseting you on your arrival or return home. With our beautiful gardens we can honestly boast the fact that we are not just an airport hotel but also a true lodge where you can immediately get a real taste of Africa!
