Finding the place proved difficult. It's a very spread out, very rural area so worth preparing well and leaving time. It would help if the name Amini Lodge was used and better signposted as the term Masaai Lodge is too open to misinterpretation by locals.

Good food, great rural location, friendly staff

Customer service staff go way above and beyond to make sure every detail of the trip is SUPERB!!!

Everything!

What a great lodge to begin a most remarkable journey in Tanzania! The buildings are terrific in Maasai style. But what is the most important thing: it’s run by the Maasai and lovely taken care of! We loved to sit on our terrace and watch Kilimanjaro. We enjoyed the food, drinks and hospitality. We will come again, is gods willing!

This place in very remote and the roads are full of rocks very bumpy.

We had a wonderful 3 days at the Original Maasai Lodge and we enjoyed learning more about the Maasai people who are very happy and outgoing people. Very peaceful place to stay in Tanzania. Located between the world famous Kilimanjaro mountain and the the Mauro mountains. Our chef prepared really delicious food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The portion were very big, fresh and tasty and included in our booking. We had a fantastic staff: Mariam and Leah our waitress and bartender are very friendly and helpful. Lowassa and Phillip our drivers and guides were a lot of fun and informative. We had a super fun Maasai dance every evening around sunset followed by Maasai TV (large campfire and storytelling). A nice dinner was next. We had a nice mud cottage with running water and electricity. Everything was fantastic and we really enjoyed ourselves in the wonderful clean pool. We enjoyed a great game drive before going to the airport.

This a totally unique place to stay and one of the highlights of our trip so far It is run by the local maasai and is a community project which generates multiple benefits for the local Maasai community It is in a remote location between Meru and Kilimanjaro reached by some very rough roads - Landcruiser needed. You do wonder where you are going but it is well sign posted. The welcome is warm colourful and musical ! The accommodations are clean, well provided with fantastic views The staff are all relaxed, friendly and very welcoming. The free morning guided bush walk and the evening spear throwing are also a high light The food is good and the Maasai BBQ around the fire with Maasai TV not to be missed. Two nights here is needed and a great place to chill out and relax Safaris are great but this provides another dimension to your visit to Tanzania

We loved every part of this. We really didn't want to leave. The food is incredible, 3x courses linch and dinner. Would be beneficial to maybe have 2x meal options at the beginning of the day, which would reduce wastage. As we aren't great varied eaters, the option would have been useful for us.

Went beyond our expectations, it was the most beautiful place we've ever stayed in, the staff are incredible, attentive and made the stay 6* From morning safari walk, too spear throwing, maasai dance and group get together around the firepit. The whole time, we felt like we were living experiencing maasi Village, with the exception of the level of subtle luxury and good standard of food. All the best from maasai White Boy and Mum Charlie (our names)

Food and original maasai traditions

We absolutely loved it!

Everything! The perfect ending of our trip in Tanzania / Zanzibar... A unique experience where you get an impression of the life of Maasai... Off course everything is adapted to the needs of a tourist traveler, but nevertheless the authenticity and details are overwhelming... and the view from your room when you wake up is simply amazing! The crew have a lovely energy and they take you on a bushtour, spearthrowing, ... and the food is also amazing! The fact that this project supports Maasai and education only makes it more unique!

please pay your workers more money. the owner is a white Australian woman who supposedly doesn’t pay well which is sad

the place is one of a kind. the staff was AMAZING and everyone went above and beyond. the food was delicious and although location isn’t ideal, this place is an experience so don’t expect to stay here and like site see everyday elsewhere, doesn’t make much sense. although they offer a lot of excursions through the lodge. we stayed for 3 nights and 2 days and hiked Kilimanjaro while staying here. we went during a dry season and it was cold but that was to be expected given the lodging style

Absolutely no negative points.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such great hospitality and warmth, that we felt home right away. The lodge is set beautifully in the hills between Mount Meru & Mount Kilimanjaro and the room - a Masaai Boma - was beautifully decorated with lots of love, warm water and very comfy beds. There are lots of activities that you can do; we arrived around 11 am after a night-flight and immediately were greeted with coffee, Tea & self-made cookies. In the afternoon we took a Bush walk with a Masaai guide and walked close to giraffes, saw gazelles, etc. The spear-throwing competition later on and the Masaai singing and dancing was really fun and very entertaining - and the best, happiest that we witnessed during out trip to Tanzania. The food was very delicious, self-cooked and included some local & traditional specialties. Overall, this was such a wonderful stay - we wished we had stayed for more than just one night. An absolute recommendation on your Tanzania trip!!!! Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful time!
