Hatari Lodge

Situated on the northern boundary of Arusha National Park, the unique Hatari Lodge ('hatari' meaning 'danger' in Swahili) is named after the 1960s' blockbuster Hatari!, which starred John Wayne and was filmed in the surrounding area. The lodge has been very thoughtfully put together, every corner filled with a unique piece of art or handmade piece of furniture.

Our view of Hatari Lodge

Hatari Lodge has been designed and fitted out with an incredible amount of thought, and to a very high standard. It is a good base from which to explore the small yet incredibly beautiful Arusha National Park – which is great for walking and canoeing in a relaxed environment, although doesn't have the density of big, dangerous game that you'll find in Tarangire or the Serengeti. Stay for two or three nights: Hatari makes a superb start or end to a northern Tanzania safari.
