- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Arusha Giraffe Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Arusha Giraffe Lodge?
Check-in is from 10:30 AM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Arusha Giraffe Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Arusha Giraffe Lodge?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Is breakfast included at Arusha Giraffe Lodge?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Arusha Giraffe Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Arusha Giraffe Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Arusha Giraffe Lodge?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 10:30 AM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Arusha Giraffe Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
