Perfect for Before/After Safari!

Airport Planet Lodge is the perfect place to stay either before or after your safari. It doesn't compare to the other lodges that I stayed at duriing my safari with Instinct Tours, but it is comfortable enough & close to the airport with free shuttle service. Typical terrific Tanzanian hospitality, lovely grounds & pool!

Airport Planet Lodge Kilimanjaro is 10 minutes from the airport. It’s not at it as google has. That said it’s a perfect place to relax after exciting safaris. The staff are brilliant and such a pleasure to deal with. If you ask nicely they will even assist with your local language skills. The food is of a high quality delicious. I loved my time there
