Lodge
Since opening in July 2002, E Unoto Retreat has continued to offer guests a relaxing escape in a setting of natural beauty in Tanzania. This five-star lodge is just 1.5 hours drive from Arusha and in close proximity to famous national parks including Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara, E Unoto Retreat is the ideal location for your next holiday, romantic getaway or safari.
Twenty-five spacious bungalows provide luxurious accommodation for all our guests. All bungalows have been designed Maasai style and decorated internally with exquisite furnishings and carvings continuing the Maasai theme. Each bungalow is a private suite with its own balcony offering panoramic views of Lake Miwaleni and the towering escarpment. You may even see one of the species of monkeys, birds or reptiles that live in the region or catch a glimpse of one of the many hippos residing in Lake Miwaleni.

Four of our bungalows are ideal honeymoon suites whilst another four have been designed to comfortably accommodate our guests in wheel chairs. E Unoto Retreat pampers their guests with imported, oversized king and queen beds. The suites also feature relaxing leather armchairs and separate shower and toilet facilities. Additional features include a coffee table that easily converts from backgammon to a checker board, writing table, mosquito nets, telephone with access to reception and other areas of the lodge and bottled water delivered daily with our compliments.
Our open-air restaurant and bar overlook the lake and swimming pool, providing total guests relaxation. Sumptuous international cuisine and a tempting childrens menu is offered daily in the restaurant, whilst butlers will provide drinks and snacks to you as you rest by the pool or in one of the comfortable chairs near the bar.

From the moment you are greeted with refreshments on arrival to your final moments with us, our professional and courteous team is available to cater to your every need. Your butler is on hand during your entire visit and will also serve you in the restaurant, escort you on your outings and assist with all enquiries.
Additionally, the senior management, front office personnel, porters, bar attendants, chefs and all the members of our E Unoto team work together to ensure all our guests have an enjoyable and unforgettable experience at our lodge.
