"I read some negative reviews before check in and I do not understand them at all. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was good (we ate lunch, 2 dinners and breakfast), we had air conditioning and a hot shower. The pool area was nice and the bar made proper cocktails- the first in our 3 weeks in Africa. We stayed 2 nights and would recommend. The airport shuttle left right when it was booked, even though it was 4 am."
"My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at the end of a 19 day safari. The staff were amazing and so helpful. The pool and the air conditioning were both enjoyed. We had a 6 am flight, we were up to get a 3 am shuttle and there was fresh coffee and a breakfast box. We would stay again."
"A wonderful hotel, a little haven in Arusha particularly fabulous to stay before or after a safari.
Martin at the front desk was exceptional.
The laundry service was excellent and well priced."
"The hotel is well located. Walking distance to the clock tower. Nice restaurants just a few minutes walk away. Nice breakfast. Comfortable beds. Everything was clean."
"Everything was great. Lovely room. Great view. One small issue. There were no plugs near the bed, so I had to lug my phone on the other side of the room."
Ilboru Safari Lodge - The Platinum Route Company Limited
10/10 Excellent
"A Charming Lodge with Wonderful Hospitality and a Personal Touch!
I spent several days at Ilboru Safari Lodge at the beginning of my Tanzanian adventure, and it was a lovely introduction to the country.
The lodge has a cozy, quaint atmosphere, with beautiful gardens and a peaceful pool area. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoons relaxing by the pool, reading, writing and enjoying a glass of wine. It was the perfect place to unwind after a long journey and ease into the rhythm of Tanzania.
One of the things I particularly enjoyed was the friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to meet interesting people. Evenings spent watching the sunset, sharing conversations over dinner and chatting around the fire were some of my favourite moments.
A special mention to Alex, who took the time to sit and chat with me about Tanzania, its people and my interest in exploring beyond the usual tourist experiences. He was incredibly generous with his local knowledge and helped connect me with opportunities to learn more about the local community. Those conversations and connections added a whole other dimension to my time in Arusha.
Ilboru isn't about flashy luxury. Its charm lies in its character, peaceful surroundings and genuine hospitality. It was a wonderful home base for the first part of my adventure.
Asante sana to Alex and the Ilboru team for making my introduction to Tanzania so memorable!"
