“A quiet paradise near Arusha”
The lodge is a tranquil place, real Polé Polé! An ideal place to spend a few days prior or after your safari. The hosts Joyce and Raymond are very welcoming and kind. They have built a little paradise over the years. Make sure to try out their home cooked dinners with a view.

“Cosy retreat for travellers to relax and refuel in nature”
Beautiful grounds with fruits and vegetables growing around. Very cosy lodge, comfortable and equipped with what you need. The owner Joyce and her son are very kind and will help you enjoy your stay - the food is incredible and having the option to be driven directly into town/to the airport is great.

So much nicer than the photos! The bungalows are very comfy and actually have a lot of light. The gardens are very beautiful. It feels quite authentic. The home-cooked meals are delicious and our host was able to help cater for my partner's vegetarian needs. They also arrange short hikes to waterfalls nearby at a fairly reasonable price.

“Excellent value for money, real warm home.”
Beautiful, clean, much higher standard than you would expect from this type of accommodation. The owner, Mrs. Joyce and her team do everything to please the guests. In addition, she prepares the meals on level of international restaurants.

“Just an amazing visit to Arusha and Songota Falls lodge”
The stay at Songota was amazing. Joyce is amazing and her food is extremely good. I would recommend anyone coming to Arusha would stay in Songota Falls lodge. Real attention is paid to the surroundings and the facilities. I would recommend to do the visit to the waterfalls

“Piece of Nature”
The Owners are very nice people, In fact I feel like one of the family. They really are doing all the best to make you comfortable. Maybe you find a similar location but you will never find the same good people... Additionally the location is more than wonderful, it's a piece of nature, just a walking minutes from amazing waterfalls, you can feel the fresh air everyday like you never did before, you can see some monkeys jumping around. I had unforgettable experience

“Perfect stay”
Joyce and her son are so welcoming ans always helpful and kind! Joyce is the best cook and always made sure that everything was good for us. Breakfast and Dinner were always perfect! The Lodge is located in the outskirts of Arusha and is therefore a very calm place to relax after safari and other activities. We would definitely come back!

“I was stay there 3 nights and will be happy to come again”
A quiet place outside the city, clean rooms, shower with hot water, and good water flow, the owner of the place, a lovely woman, made sure all the time that everyone was happy. She cooks very delicious local food. It is highly recommended to have dinner at her place at least once
