Top choice in Northern Tanzania
At an altitude of 1300m and close to Kilimanjaro's Machame gate, this German-run place opened in 2012 and has a refreshingly contemporary Bauhaus architectural style, comprising restful grey cube-like structures. Rooms have abundant glass, the colour scheme is muted but very modern, and the setting amid palm trees and lush gardens is as lovely as the rest of the place.
Activities include hiking (of course!), tours of local coffee producers and visits to community projects.
