Why we book it
Olerai is a small lodge in gardens on the outskirts of Arusha, a dozen or so rooms, a quiet bar and dinner under the trees. Nothing grand, everything working.
It bookends the Northern Tanzania Immersive safari, bed and breakfast at each end so the evenings are free for the town.
Our mainland safaris quote this lodge or similar: a property of the same standard if it is full or has moved with the season. The exact lodge is named in your proposal, before any payment.
