The Hhando Coffee Lodge lies peacefully in the lush volcanic highlands of Tanzania, about fifteen kilometers from Karatu. Set on a fifteen-hectare coffee estate, the lodge seems to float like an ark through the ancient landscape, in perfect harmony with the primeval wilderness of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee mingles with the crisp highland air and the quiet magic of nature.
The lodge features ten elegant cottages and three spacious family bungalows, each with a fireplace in every room, a stylish bathroom with shower, a cozy bedroom, and a private veranda overlooking the rolling farmland and forested hills. In the evenings, the fire crackles softly while crickets sing and a thousand stars illuminate the highland sky.
Hhando Coffee Lodge is not only a place of peace and reflection but also the perfect base from which to explore northern Tanzania’s most famous parks. The Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, and even the Serengeti are all within easy reach. After a day of adventure, guests return to the soothing calm of the highlands, enjoy a drink at the bar or a fine dinner beside the open fireplace, and watch the night settle gently over the valley.
Visitors are invited to tour the lodge’s own coffee plantation and witness the journey of the bean from bush to cup – an aromatic and unforgettable experience. Whether swimming in the outdoor pool, enjoying breakfast on the veranda, or listening to the morning birdsong, every moment at Hhando Coffee Lodge connects you to nature. It is a place to breathe, to pause, and to feel truly alive – authentic Tanzania with soul and style.
