Mount Kilimanjaro 360 View Cottages is a small, peaceful retreat at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Surrounded by banana trees and coffee plants, it is designed for quiet comfort, simple living, and beautiful mountain views. This is a place to relax, slow down, and enjoy nature in its calmest form.
Mount Kilimanjaro 360 View Cottages began as a small treehouse-style restaurant during uncertain times, growing gradually with intention rather than rapid expansion. What started as Maisha Khalisi Restaurant has evolved into a small collection of ten thoughtfully designed cottages, each carefully positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape.
Built using recycled and locally sourced materials, the property reflects a deep respect for the land, the community, and the presence of Mount Kilimanjaro. We remain intentionally small, allowing each cottage to offer a quiet and personal connection to the mountain and the natural beauty that surrounds it.
Wake up to the quiet beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro from our thoughtfully designed cottages. Each cottage offers a calm and comfortable space where guests can slow down and enjoy the peaceful countryside. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, and mature guests, the lodge welcomes visitors who appreciate nature, fresh mountain air, and the gentle rhythm of life beneath Kilimanjaro. The property can also be reserved exclusively for small groups seeking a private stay together.

Maisha Khalisi is our in-house restaurant, growing naturally as part of the cottages’ story. Dining takes place across three levels — casual coffee and light meals on the ground floor, a relaxed dining and lounge space on the first floor, and breakfast or dinner served with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro from the upper level. Our food is simple, homemade, and prepared with care, using fresh local ingredients whenever possible. Dining available at Maisha Khalisi Restaurant, Room service is not available.
Explore the natural beauty and local culture surrounding Mount Kilimanjaro through a range of guided experiences. Popular excursions include visits to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee farm walks, cultural village visits, and relaxing moments at Chemka Hot Springs, known for its clear, warm spring water.
Guests can also enjoy nature hikes, walks, and mountain bike tours, offering a different way to explore the landscapes and villages of the Kilimanjaro region.
For those wishing to explore further, we can assist with day safaris to nearby national parks, customized excursions, and private transfers, including airport transportation and regional travel arrangements.
Our team is happy to help organize experiences that match your interests and schedule.
From our peaceful hillside setting, guests enjoy spectacular views of Africa’s highest mountain. Watch the colors of Mount Kilimanjaro change from sunrise to sunset and experience clear moonlit nights beneath the African sky.

Posted on CarolynVerified A little paradise in Moshi! ☺ Our hosts, Muskin and Catherine, were outstanding. They were so accommodating with every aspect of our stay with them. Their commitment using local products, vegetable gardening and a local school is commendable. Laundry services were reasonable and came in handy as we began our 3 week trip. All meals were delish. Note that the lodge is in the countryside. The views of Mt Kili are awesome! ☹ Off the top, we were satisfied with everything.Posted on EricaVerified Exceptional ☺ We liked absolutely everything about Kilimanjaro 360. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food is delicious, fairly priced and with huge portions. The staff is attentive to the point they knew what we needed before we did, arranged airport transports for us even early in the morning with breakfast, and cleaned our boots after returning from hikes. The owners greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the property where they grow most of their own food. The attention to detail in and out of the rooms is incredible. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable. The showers are spacious and with hot water. I would recommend to any of my family and friends to stay here.Posted on MaximVerified ExceptionalPosted on PatriciaVerified Exceptional ☺ Muksi and his staff gave us a very warm welcome. We found them to be helpful and very friendly. The excursions we discussed went very reliable. Fantastic breakfast, excellent coffee! Various delicious dishes, especially the pizza. Muksin runs the hotel with great care, both from a human and environmental perspective. Beatrice and Patricia SwitzerlandPosted on LiorVerified Peaceful Stay with Stunning Kilimanjaro Views ☺ Our stay at Mount Kilimanjaro 360 View was wonderful. The room was clean, beautiful and uniquely designed, and offer great views of Kilimanjaro. The place feels peaceful and blends well with the surroundings. The owners were very welcoming. It’s clear they’ve put care into creating a comfortable cozy atmosphere. They also help to orgenise a waterfall hike with Abduli which was definitely a highlight! If you’re looking for comfort, beautiful view, tranquility, and genuine hospitality, this is the place.Posted on SophieVerified A beautiful, relaxing stay ☺ The rooms are amazing, huge bed, lovely bathroom with hot showers, great decor, wonderful view. The place is very relaxing and peaceful, with amazing views. You get wonderful sunrise and sunsets! It’s out of the town but you can easily get a tuktuk or taxi into the Moshi. The breakfast was exceptional, fresh fruit juice, amazing granola bowls, pancakes, toast, eggs. ☹ The diners we ordered from the restaurant were hit and miss, so we preferred going into town for dinner instead. It wasn’t busy when we stayed, so it was a bit too quiet at times.Posted on EmilieVerified ExceptionalPosted on FoucachonVerified A beautiful discovery ☺ This property was such a lovely surprise. As soon as I entered you could tell every inch had a story. The room was so personalized to the smallest details, and we found out after every beautiful wood and design was made on site by recycled wood. The couple who built and and are in charge are lovely people who also reverse money to the local community for every reservation. The breakfast was insane!!! Food is grown either on site or locally. Also we asked for very last minute activities such as a guide to the waterfalls and they got it for us in 5 minutes confirmed.Posted on TomaszVerified Exceptional ☺ My stay at this hotel in Africa was a very pleasant experience. The place was extremely charming and atmospheric, perfectly reflecting the local vibe. The bed was very comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The hotel itself was great and well maintained. The staff were exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful. The view of Mount Kilimanjaro was absolutely amazing and truly unforgettable. The dinners were very good, while the breakfasts were okay and could have been better. Everything was absolutely fine, and my stay met all my expectations. I would definitely recommend this hotel.Posted on PhilipVerified Exceptional ☺ Homely, relaxed lux, excellent view of Kilimanjaro, great breakfast
Posted on Frank SVerified Best Lodge Tansanias Wir waren begeistert von diese Lodge. Die Zimmer sind mit Charm und Liebe zum Detail im afrikanischen Stil eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber haben uns persönlich empfangen und alles gezeigt, wahr Gastgeber!! Das Essen war sehr lecker und schön angerichtet. Große Cocktail und auch Weinauswahl (sogar richtig kalten Weisswein).Posted on Susanne OlsonVerified Rest & relax at peaceful, unique lodge near Moshi -- great views of Kilimanjaro This lodge was a perfect place to rest and recover from jet lag on our arrival in Tanzania and before the start of our safari. Kili 360 gave us a quiet rural location with spectacular views of Mt Kilimanjaro from the upper deck and many of the rooms (especially in the early mornings). We loved the upper deck where we ate breakfast and dinner every day or could lounge with a book and watch the nesting weaver birds in a nearby tree. Our hosts were so friendly and made us feel truly welcomed during our 3-night stay. They offered excellent communication prior to our arrival. We appreciated their assistance with arranging reliable airport transfers and planning local day trips during our stay (excellent guides and drivers). The structure is unique and eclectic, with the use of recycled materials and full of lovely flowers and plants, surrounded by gardens, with banana groves and coffee plantations beyond the property. There were comfortable beds to catch up on sleep. Mosquito netting on the beds--but we had no trouble with insects. Hot showers and colorful cotton robes. Great wifi in rooms and dining/lounge areas. There was also laundry service. Most of all, delicious food prepared on site. We especially enjoyed the yogurt, museli, fresh fruits, toast, local jams and honey at breakfast and a giant platter of local dishes on our final night when our party had grown to 5 couples. We were so glad we chose the Kili 360--the peaceful location we wanted and still conveniently close to activities and hiking around Moshi.Posted on CarrieVerified A perfect gateway to our Tanzania experience! We stayed here for 4 nights and didn’t want to leave. Catherine and Muskin were superb hosts. We were met at the airport, 8:30 PM($70), for about a 1 hour ride. Muskin was there to greet us and show us around. The room was lovely, clean, decorated nicely, had an awesome view of Mt Kili and was stocked with MANY amenities. Breakfast, which you ordered the night before, was perfect. It was homemade with a variety of fresh squeezed juices from which to choose and we enjoyed it while listening to the basket weaver birds and watching Mt Kili as the view changed with morning light. The grounds were lush and colorful. We did most of the property tour one afternoon ….we were tired from an earlier bike ride so did not go to the river. Dinner was also delish with the fish coming from a nearby reservoir. Our final night( after 4 other couples met us) , was OUTSTANDING! See attached pics. Additionally, they could accommodate the various dietary needs. We did two of their prearranged tours- Mataruni Falls and a Shira Plateau hike. The latter was going to be the Marangu Gate hike but it was felt that the Shira Plateau would be better suited to our group of 4. Both were good choices for us( ages 68 and kind of fit). Our hosts saw to our every need and made the experience absolutely wonderful. It was a great way to begin our Tanzania journey.Posted on MISHECK LUKAS TAINGARAVerified GOOD VIEW FROM MOUNT KILIMANJARO AND COFFEE PLANTATIONS. Mount Kilimanjaro 360 View Cottage is an exceptional place to stay. The team is very helpful and well organized from booking to checkout, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The pricing is fair and offers great value compared to the quality and level of service provided. The property itself is luxurious, clean, and beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro that truly make it special. Everything is thoughtfully arranged to ensure comfort and relaxation. In our experience, this is one of the best places to stay in Tanzania, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality, comfort, and unforgettable views.Posted on Elliot MVerified Lovely place We’ve had such an amazing experience. The room was absolutely stunning. The staff was perfect. The view is nothing less than breathtaking. Recommend to anyone looking for a cosy place to spend a little time.Posted on Gilles AVerified Hôtel exceptionnel et authentique Hôtel authentique tout en bois fondu dans la nature et avec vue imprenable sur le Kilimandjaro. Intérieur chambre exceptionnel et très confortable. Tout le personnel est aux petits soins. Cuisine créative avec tous les legumes et fruits provenant de leur jardin. A découvrir absolument!Posted on Em PVerified Lovely little location to stay in Moshi! We stayed here for one night after climbing Kilimanjaro to just rest and relax before the long flights home. We were super early and were sent upstairs to rest and relax while the room was cleaned for us. We even got a welcome drink and their IT guy came to get us on WiFi immediately. The owners are adorable, friendly and warm. You can tell they really love what they do and the property. Yes there is construction going on (a new kitchen) but it wasn’t super bothersome. The food was phenomenal and so were the freshly made pina coladas. The view of Mount Kilimanjaro from the bar upstairs is perfect on a clear day, too. One we got our room, we were given a heads up to how everything works and acclimated.Posted on Mª Jose CVerified UN HOTEL DIFERENTE Y MARAVILLOSO Este hotel es difrente a todos. Al llegar se nos cayó el alma a los pies, pues lo que vimos fue un edificio en obras, con ladrillos, piedras, placas de uralita, etc. Sin embargo, a pesar de que están haciendo ampliaciones, el lugar tiene un encanto especial. Las habitaciones son deliciosas, con un porche delante, un baño maravilloso, camas muy buenas. Todo con aspecto rústico pero muy confortable. El bar y el restaurante están fantásticos, y la comida es la mejor que hemos tenido en el viaje. El dueño viene, te explica y quiere individualizar cada plato para cada persona. Un verdadero lujo. No dejaré de recomendar este hotel. Gran experiencia.Posted on Landry BVerified What a great experience ! We spent two nights at the Mount Kilimanjaro 360 View Cottage, which included all meals. Honestly, we have nothing to say except : - The place is great, a lot of charm, nice view, and the rooms are nice (Beds are huge) - Whatever you need, you are treated as a special guest. Everyone is here to help. (from the chef to the owner) These were our first nights in Tanzania and the kindness of the people there gave us a blast. Thanks again for everything 🫶 - We will never forget our experience there. (And your support with my condition) + Big plus for the free walk to feel connected with the surroundingsPosted on AndreasVerified Hidden Pearl in Paradise Muksin and Catherine have put all their love, seal and passion to create this unique and charming place of tranquility and friendliness right a the spot in nature to enjoy the Kilimanjaro.
