Where safari history meets modern comfort. Situated on the northern boundary of Tanzania’s Arusha National Park, on the edge of a pristine woodland overlooking a glade called ‘Momella meadow’ with views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. This is where Hatari Lodge sits, quietly on the slopes of Mount Meru, where mist rolls through the forest and the surrounding landscape sets the pace. Hatari Lodge is blazing the way into African culinary conservation through its sister company, Wondergarden Ltd.
Tanzania, a land of natural beauty and abundant wildlife, sets the stage for an extraordinary safari. Hatari Lodge (once the setting for the 1962 Hollywood film, Hatari!) offers a captivating escape within this remarkable country. This isn’t just a stay; it’s an immersion into a bespoke “modern-retro” ambiance, where sophisticated design meets the untamed.
