The lodge was designed around an original, 20th century home and offers a comprehensive look into Tanzanian culture, history, and topographical diversity.

A walking tour of the working coffee estate gives guests the opportunity to learn about harvesting and roasting, as well as to sample some of the fresh coffee.

Jason Barry, Director of Marketing, Media, and Communications at the Elewana Collection, remarked that in a region dominated by safari operators, the Coffee Lodge was honored to have been selected for such an award.
