Kigongoni, which translates to ’top of the hill’, is a delightful arrangement of large cottages tucked between the trees and small shrubs of a small hillside coffee farm overlooked by Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. The lodge is set within lush gardens and offers guests an authentic, homely experience and true sense of the very best in Tanzanian hospitality.
