Marangu Hotel

Marangu Hotel in Moshi Tanzania is certainly the best place to stay at Mt. Kilmanjaro. Perfect for preparation or after the climb.

A peaceful, quite place amidst lush vegetation, like a remnant from a distant past, you can enjoy the feeling in this former farm.

Best view on the Kibo and Mawenzi from the hotel garden. Nice bungalows, nice bar, and a nice pool. Good meals!

Friendly, relaxed, welcoming staff, that will help you with almost everything.

The hotel could not have been better. It is not the Ritz; it has what you need.

If you forgot equipment, they provide it (provided you have the fully- equipped package).

If you need advice, Seamus will provide excellent counsel. If you need extra porters, the hotel will arrange it. The showers are plentiful and hot.

The guides and staff were AWESOME.

The porters were so nice and so funny. The chef was a genius. Saturnin was phenomenal.

He was calm, encouraging, and helpful. I can not say enough about the guides,porters and chef. Loved them all.

I enjoyed my trek up the mountain. Kilimanjaro is beautiful,otherworldly,and fantastic.

The views surpass description.

This beautifully situated hotel, on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, stands in twelve acres of mature, well laid out gardens.

It has a fine variety of exotic trees and flowering shrubs.

From the gardens there are magnificent views to be had of Kilimanjaro, with its larger peaks of ice-capped Kibo and rocky Mawenzi.

The oldest peak on the mountain, Shira, is much smaller and heavily eroded. Its remains are best viewed when climbing via the Machame route.

The hotel takes its name from the surrounding area. "Marangu" means "full of water" in the local Chagga language, and the lush green surroundings demonstrate the truth of this.

The central hotel building was once a farm house, built in the early 1900s, and is of a charming, old world style. This is a family-run business, with the consequent attention to detail one expects.

Guest accommodation is provided in cottages around the grounds. The cottages are of varied style, and each has its own character.

Several cottages have integral central sitting rooms, which are popular with small groups travelling together. All rooms have private bathrooms with bath or shower.

For recreation, the hotel has a swimming pool and croquet lawn, or guests may simply relax in the comfortable bar and lounges.

There are also pretty walks to be had locally through the surrounding banana and coffee farms, and along the river that borders the hotel on one side.

Where time permits, the colourful local markets are well worth a visit. The hotel is renowned for its well-prepared menu, using vegetables from its own gardens and home baked bread. A range of wines is always available
