Stella Maris Lodge
Before and after your climb and safari you will stay at the nonprofit Stella Maris Lodge.
​
The Stella Maris is a new 25-room lodge conveniently located on the main road from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Moshi. Just 25 minutes from the airport, the Stella Maris is situated in the peaceful village of Mailisita, on the outskirts of Moshi itself. All rooms are ensuite with private balcony views of Kilimanjaro, air-conditioning and satellite-TVs. Guests enjoy access to PCs and free Internet WiFi service throughout the lobby and dining areas.

The Lodge and the adjacent Stella Maris English-Medium Primary School were built by the people of Mailisita in partnership with the Mailisita Foundation – a US-based orphan and vulnerable child relief organization. The income from the Lodge goes exclusively to paying the teachers and buying food for the children. So not only is the Stella Maris a beautiful place to relax, but your stay directly helps the underpriviliged children of the local village. You can hear their happy songs while enjoying your morning fresh-brewed Kilimanjaro coffee!
You can learn more about the history of the effort to build the school and lodge.
