Getting there from Kilimanjaro International Airport
From Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), most guests take a light aircraft to Seronera Airstrip (SEU), often via Arusha. The lodge is about 2 km from the airstrip, a drive of about 5 minutes. There is no airport shuttle.
Book a private transfer in advance so a driver meets you at arrivals at Kilimanjaro International Airport and takes you to your Arusha hotel or straight to Arusha Airport for your flight. Arrange your pickup at the Serengeti airstrip with the lodge before you travel, so you are not left waiting in the park.
Good to know
- A recent guest reported card payment problems, so carry some cash as a backup

- The lodge is unfenced, so children must be supervised
