The Vijiji Center Lodge & Safari
About us
Looking for traditional African style accommodation, food and hospitality? Then let us welcome you to The Vijiji Center – a small, family-owned and operated guest lodge on the slopes of Mount Meru in Nguruma Village, just 10 km east of Arusha.
Built in 2013, we offer 6 guesthouses as well as a full-service restaurant and dining room, a snack bar and beautifully landscaped gardens, all on two fully-fenced acres.
It’s the perfect place to stay before, during, or after your Tanzania travel adventures!
Our Guesthouses
Our guesthouses are built in a traditional African style. Each house contains 2 spacious rooms, each with a full bathroom (sink, toilet, shower, hot and cold water) and bedding for singles, couples and/or families. All of our beds have mosquito netting, and every room has a front porch where you can relax and enjoy the free in-room coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
Our Restaurant
Our restaurant features traditional African dishes, prepared by our chef who has more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry. All of our meals are homemade and we use local, organic and free-range ingredients whenever possible.
Typical breakfasts include fresh fruits in season, fresh fruit juice, free-range eggs, breads, hot cereal, potatoes, beans, and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. Lunches and dinners feature homemade soups, breads, a variety of freshly prepared vegetables, and traditional African dishes. We can accommodate most dietary needs too – just ask.
The dining room seats up to 50 people for meals, meetings, and for relaxing with friends. There’s even a big screen television for movie nights and special sporting events.
Our Gardens
The Vijiji Center’s landscaped gardens are the perfect place to relax and enjoy some quiet time at the end of your day. There is plenty of outdoor seating, games such as darts, volleyball and badminton, and of course, a well-appointed bar that’s open daily for snacks and beverages.
