Ideally located…
Laba Mama Simba is the only luxury lodge located 35 minutes from Kilimanjaro airport. It takes about 1 hour from Arusha airport. For private flights, the Lodge has its own airstrip 10 minutes away.
A taste of safari… before the safari.
Laba Mama Simba is located in the heart of North Dolly, a vast 700-hectare estate with no fences. This refined lodge comprises six Garden Cottages, a Master Suite, a Garden Room and a Pool Room. The setting is exceptional. It is the only lodge in Arusha where Cape eland, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, impala, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelle roam freely in a wild bush landscape. A unique opportunity for our guests to set off after breakfast on a walking safari in the company of a Massai guide, and get up close and personal with these animals that the absence of predators has made fearless.Laba Laba inaugurated its stopover in Arusha on June 1,

Much more than a luxury hotel
The unique experience of a walking safari in the heart of Arusha is complemented by a host of other activities, including day safaris in the Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks, spectacular panoramic flights over Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, and horseback riding.
A breathtaking view of Mount Meru, the sacred mountain
The view is the other highlight at Laba Mama Simba. As the sun sets, Mount Meru takes on shades of orange and pink, an almost mystical spectacle of great beauty. Mount Meru is not just a natural wonder. For the local population, the mountain is sacred, and Mount Meru is omnipresent in myths and legends.
Mama Simba
A name that pays homage to the former owner of the site, Vicky de Cervera (1938-2015). This Spanish writer-traveller spent much of her life exploring the four corners of the globe, before settling in Arusha, where she led numerous charitable projects, notably for children. Tanzanians affectionately called her “Mama Simba” (Mama Lion in Swahili) because of her strong personality and her attachment to animals and nature. Laba Laba was determined to ensure that her name would live on in the land that was so dear to her.
