Your safari
begins here.

The Gateway Kilimanjaro is a boutique safari gateway resort strategically positioned at the entrance to Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit — serving travelers bound for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Mount Kilimanjaro.

A New Gateway

Single level.
Single soul.

The Gateway Kilimanjaro is a 14-key luxury boutique resort in the Kilimanjaro Airport Corridor, Tanzania — an intimate safari gateway with every guest suite on a single level.

Fourteen ground-floor suites wrap a central landscaped pool courtyard. A dedicated amenities pavilion sits discreetly behind them — its rooftop the only elevated element on the property, opening to uninterrupted views of Mount Meru.

Strategic Position

Why Kilimanjaro?

One of Africa's most strategic tourism gateways. Kilimanjaro International Airport serves as the primary entry point to Northern Tanzania's world-famous safari destinations.
