Africa Amini Hillside Retreat
🌍 Tanzania
📍 West Kilimanjaro
Located near the Maasai village of Ngabobo, Africa Amini Hillside Retreat provides a tranquil escape overlooking Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro. The retreat is part of the Africa Amini Life initiative, focusing on sustainable tourism and community support. This eco-friendly lodge invites guests to experience Tanzanian culture through activities that support local Maasai communities.
The Hillside Retreat provides a more secluded setting than its sister property, the Africa Amini Maasai Lodge, making it ideal for those seeking solitude with cultural enrichment. A stay here supports Africa Amini Life’s community projects, from healthcare to education initiatives for local Maasai and Meru people. Room rates typically range from $150 to $300 per night, inclusive of meals and basic cultural activities, with seasonal discounts available.
