We had a beautiful stay here. The place is exceptionally clean, rooms garden and restaurant. Food was lovely and the staff were so friendly. We had a few things we needed help with, which had nothing to do with the lodge, and they bent over backwards helping us. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay at Orelai Lodge! The room was very spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The food was made with fresh ingredients and was very delicious. We especially enjoyed the cocktails made with freshly squeezed juice and the conversations at the bar with the mixologist, Arnold, and his barman! Everyone at the lodge was very friendly, accommodating, and convivial. The property is beautiful and it is located in a quiet area. Thank you for an excellent stay!

We loooved our stay here at Olerai Lodge! The entire lodge is decorated with chic African design, modern amenities, and top notch dining! BUT, this is all a bonus to what really makes this lodge one of our favorite places...the STAFF who are exceptional. So hospitable and welcoming to our family. We were there over Christmas break. Welcomed with refreshing beverage, luggage taken care of, swimming pool clean and refreshing with chaise loungers, food was exquisite-the chef delivers! Showers always with hot water, beds super comfortable, place for hanging clothes, clean and of course very safe. Yes it's a little bumpy road driving into lodge but once inside you realize it's worth the trip! No complaints. I am picky and used to Nth American cushy stuff. I am 100% confident in recommending this lodge! You will not be disappointed. Cannot wait to return one day!…

Quiet, stylish oasis. Away from busy Arusha. After climbing Mt Meru it was a perfect place to come back to recover. Very good shower, lovely rooms with comfortable beds. Staff was very friendly and food at the lodge was very tasty. Good breakfast and delicious dinners.

Very quiet and peaceful setting, with a friendly staff and hands down the best food available (not a buffet)! Spent a night here after hiking Kilimanjaro and before heading out to the Serengeti. Clean, comfortable rooms and a GREAT shower.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Olerai Lodge. The Lodge is located in a very quiet place outside of Arusha. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was soo delicious and fresh. The rooms were clean and spacious. We also enjoyed the swimmingpool. We would love to come back another time.
