ACCLIMATISATION AT BANANA JUNGLE LODGE
Situated
1500 Meters above sea level on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, close
to the start of the Marangu Route, is one of the funkiest small
lodges in Tanzania which is an ideal place to acclimatize before
your trek.
Family run Banana Jungle Lodge is a real experience
of genuine Tanzanian hospitality and you are immediately made to
feel one of the family.
The lodge is built using traditional Chagga architecture but with
all modern amenities. It is set in beautiful gardens of green and
lush banana and coffee plantations which attract a great variety
of birdlife and is surrounded by indigenous trees.
This is one of the few chances to sleep in traditional
chagga huts in Tanzania and the environmentally friendly ethos includes
ingenious use of biogas for heating and all local products for the
menus.
Family accommodation is also available.
The lodge organizes several cultural programmes
in the Marangu area and acclimatization walks on the lower slopes
of Kilimanjaro - please ask for further details.
Rates from $40p.p.
