Arusha
Kigongoni’s tranquil hilltop perch about 5km past Arusha gives it an almost wilderness feel. Spacious cottages, all with porches, fireplaces and wide views, are scattered around the forest, some quite a hilly walk from the cosy common areas. It’s about 5km beyond Arusha towards Moshi.
A portion of the lodge’s profits go to support the Sibusiso Foundation (www.sibusiso.com), which helps intellectually disabled children in the region.
