    Planet Lodge is a wonderful place to stay in Arusha. All the rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and private. The bay window is an absolute show stopper. Private balconies provide the visitor with a chance to take in the amazing grounds....

    Staff was amazing. Peter the Driver, Gertrude at dining and Anna at front desk were standouts. Grounds were lovely. Best breakfast from lodges all week. Great about storing luggage for the week as well as interim during final day.
