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!"

Four Points By Sheraton Arusha, The Arusha Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is like an oasis in the busy centre of Arusha town, next to the Clock Tower. It is a hotel dating back to the 1930's but the renovations would lead you to believe it was built in the past 5 years. The gardens are luscious with lots of vegetation. There is a pool and gym on site but had no time to check out either. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and knowledgable. The restaurant menu was great for breakfast and dinner, with lots of options. The rooms were clean. Not much that can be said to prevent you from checking out this property on your next visit to Arusha town. We stayed for 2 nights and then had to move on but I could have stayed longer."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Duka Bovu?
The best area to stay in Duka Bovu is generally near the main road leading to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, particularly around the village of Karatu.Karatu serves as a convenient gateway for visitors heading into the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. It's a small, bustling town with a few local markets, craft shops, and eateries along the main road. The accommodations here are typically lodges and tented camps spread out slightly from the main village centre, offering a peaceful setting.Couples looking for a comfortable base for safari adventures will find Karatu ideal. Many lodges offer amenities like swimming pools, well-kept gardens, and high-quality dining, providing a relaxing retreat after a day of wildlife viewing. It's a practical choice for exploring the nearby national parks without the longer drive from Arusha itself.For those planning to visit the larger national parks like the Serengeti, staying in Karatu reduces travel time significantly compared to staying further east.
When is the best time to go to Duka Bovu?
The best time to visit Duka Bovu is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. This period offers the most comfortable weather and optimal conditions for wildlife viewing.During these months, rainfall is minimal, meaning the roads are generally dry and easily navigable for safaris. The vegetation is sparser, making it easier to spot animals as they gather around predictable water sources. The days are typically sunny and warm, with cooler evenings, creating pleasant conditions for game drives and outdoor activities.This dry period is particularly good for families looking for a stress-free safari experience. The predictable weather means fewer disruptions to planned activities, and the abundance of wildlife sightings keeps everyone engaged.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
