Kia Lodge is just under 3 minutes drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport. The lodge is situated on a secluded hill in the heart of beautiful savannah scenery with wonderful views of Mt.Kilimanjaro.

It is inevitable that due to its location, Kia Lodge is likely to be your first or last experience in Tanzanian. In the same vein as it's partner lodge, Moivaro, the atmosphere, style, service and comfort level is friendly and relaxed. 

The simple style comes across through the Zanzibar decor at the reception, Makonde woodcarvings in the rooms and the famous Tinga Tinga paintings in the tropical restaurant.

The open bar gives you the opportunity to drink a cold drink while looking straight at Kilimanjaro or you can choose to relax at the hilltop swimming pool which offers views of Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru, the Blue Mountains and the Maasai plains.

The attractive gardens help disguise the fact that the lodge is so close to the international airport although in reality there are very few flights in and out.

We tend to use this lodge for customers who have a very early departure from Kilimanjaro airport or arrive late before a Kilimanjaro climb.
