Airport Planet Lodge is an established transit property set in tropical gardens between Moshi and Arusha, just 7km from Kilimanjaro International Airport. Operated by the Planet Lodges family group, it offers a far more pleasant overnight than a generic airport hotel: the grounds are rich with over 100 bird species, and on clear days the distant summits of Kilimanjaro and Meru are both visible. For travellers arriving or departing on early or late flights, the complimentary 24-hour shuttle and well-organised reception team make logistics seamless.
The facilities are comprehensive for its category: a swimming pool, spa with massage treatments, fitness centre, restaurant serving local and international cuisine, two bars, and a souvenir shop all feature. Rooms are individually decorated in African style with balconies, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities.
Twenty-five Standard Rooms, five Deluxe Suites, and one Executive Suite are spread across the property, plus interconnected family chalets and one wheelchair-accessible unit. All rooms have balconies and air conditioning.
The lodge is approximately 8 minutes and 7km by road from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). A complimentary 24-hour airport shuttle is provided for guests the lodge should be informed of arrival details in advance. This is an ideal transit property for early morning or late night flights.
