Maasai Giraffe Eco Lodge

Welcome. On your arrival at the Maasai Giraffe, our manager Joël will be delighted to welcome you and offer you a refreshment.

Our rooms have a private bathroom with shower and hot water, a solar fan, a private terrace and a breathtaking view on the Ol Donyoi Lengai volcano.

A large expanse of grass is made available to campers. Our camp is completely fenced in, so you can camp safely in the middle of nature.

Camping equipment can be rented on site (tents, mattresses and sleeping bags).

The lodge has a large restaurant open on the outside, overlooking Lake Natron and the Ol Donyio Lengai volcano. It features American cuisine. It has been built respecting the Maasai architecture with local materials.

We have two self-taught top chefs, Jane and Magret. Cooking is a passion for them.

They will introduce you to Tanzanian specialities such as rice "pilau", a piece of beef or goat meat cooked with rice and spices such as cardamon, cloves and ginger. The most popular dish is "ugali", a kind of polenta made from corn flour, which you can taste on the spot. They are influenced in their recipes by the spices of Indian cuisine, due to the large number of Indians in the country. They prepare many European dishes but always with their local touch.

The meat of goat, beef and sheep is particularly tasty because the animals still live in freedom. They will introduce you to "chapatis", thick salted crepes, which is the equivalent of bread for us. Indeed, bread has only recently been introduced in Tanzania.

Mandazis are small tarragon fritters which are very common in the whole country. The fruits are always ripe and delicious, pineapple, watermelon, mango, guava, passion fruit. The vegetables are picked directly from our garden.

Oh lastly the pool is 24hours so you can refresh whenever you like.

We can't wait to see you.
