Planet Lodges

  Great start to a great journey - I stayed at the Lodge twice: At the beginning of my trip and after my return from Safari. To say that the staff is bending over backwards to make your... read more short stay memorable is an understatement. Every person I met could not have been nicer and helpful. From greeting you, bringing the bags to your room, check-in, breakfast/dinner. The rooms are great: the beds so comfortable and needed after a 24 hours travel to Tanzania ore after returning from either safari or a day hike at Kilimanjaro. The shower is wonderful (also very much needed) and the pool and gardens are enjoyable. But what is hands down the best, is dinner - the food is juts absolutely delicious! Asante Santa and see you soon!

  A gem of a find - I wanted to find a place close to Kilimanjaro Airport since our flight was arriving at 20:40. The Airport Planet Lodge was one of the closer lodging options to... read more JRO. We had arranged a private transfer from the Airport to the Lodge for a very reasonable $15. Angel was there to greet us when we cleared Customs. Our driver arrived 5 minutes later. The ride to the Lodge took about 10 minutes.
We were greeted by the staff and check in for our room was cordial, yet efficient. Even though it was after 22:00 they kept someone in the kitchen to make a pizza for us.
Our room was better than expected. Essentially, it was a brick bungalow. It was spacious, equipped with a safe, a mini fridge and a coffee/tea station. The bed was large and comfortable. Our room also had a large bathroom with a tub and a separate shower. We were more than pleased with the room.
The grounds are not large, but they are nice and are surrounded by a wall, so the area felt very secure. There is a nice swimming pool and a small work out facility.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff. They were so friendly and helpful.
We only stayed the one night, as we had to meet our safari tour the next day. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer.
