“chanya” in kiswahili translates to “positive”

We seek for the essence of this word to permeate throughout the lodge – our aim is to create a positive impact on our valued guests, communities and the environment around us.

Chanya Lodge is nestled on the outskirts of Moshi town, in Tanzania (East Africa), at the foothills of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. The prime location of the lodge is a 50-minute drive away from Kilimanjaro International Airport, making it an ideal stay for trekkers, safari seekers, business people and families. Guests are warmly welcomed by the smiles of friendly, helpful staff and accommodated in one of 32 en-suite rooms. The lodge is known for its abundant green carpeted-grass gardens, multi-cuisine restaurant and its large swimming pool.

ancestry & contemporary:

The lodge has a family heritage and history since the year of its establishment 1988. The roots of the lodge have positively evolved throughout the years with the involvement of three different generations. With the most recent refurbishments, we aspire to give guests the experience of true Tanzanian hospitality and nature’s charm combined with exceptional comforts. With a connection to the past, the staff and visitors become a part of our extended family, resulting to what we hope is a home away from home for each of one of our guests.


rooms

The lodge comprises of 32 fully furnished cosy rooms with a mixture of singles, doubles, twins and triples, in a semi-bungalow style setting. The theme of “Tanzanian culture” penetrates throughout the accommodation, where each guest can experience a hot rain shower in the en-suite bathrooms; or stay-in, relax and put their feet up on our African wooden beds. A veranda extends from every room, providing a personal seating area for the guests to rejuvenate with nature’s fresh air.

team

When you arrive at what we hope is a home away from home, you will spend your stay with a Tanzanian “family” comprising of friendly, helpful, trustful team of staff who follow a “stay positive” philosophy. They are ever-ready to help, especially when one would need them the most, during a medical emergency or the resolving of delayed luggage matters etc. as examples.

the “chanya” impact

We strive to leave a positive impact on the guests, communities and environment around us with a “stay positive, positive stay” attitude.

Environment: Those that have visited us know we care for the land; we love planting trees, flowers and plants, which has resulted in more than 60% of the lodge being covered in lush greenery. Our aim is to reduce plastic usage and waste, and encourage recycling by offering a refillable water supply and recycling with local community eco-bricking projects. With the help of our valued guests we aim to save water and be energy efficient and make a difference.

Communities: The majority of our Chanya Lodge family is born and bred in Tanzania, some of which come from extremely disadvantaged backgrounds. Our belief is that each member should stand strong economically through employment, so that they can support themselves and others. We care for the community and take preference in purchasing locally produced items from groceries to amnesties and furniture. Each guest that stays with us helps us to contribute towards the children with special needs in our Kilimanjaro region.

Together we are a part of making a positive change!
