Koroi Forest Camp — forest-chalets within arusha national park

Book via Trail Safari Explorers

1 / 7

Koroi Forest Camp is nestled deep within Arusha National Park, beneath the towering slopes of Mount Meru, in a dense forest glade that opens onto a seasonal clearing and attracts wildlife from buffalo to bushbuck. The lodge offers a serene contrast to the classic savannah camps — raised individual forest chalets (and one special tree-house room) set among ancient cedar and fig trees, with forest walks, night drives and a focus on the lesser-seen forest ecosystem. This retreat works best for travellers who want a mellow, immersive stay — couples or small families looking to combine safari with forest-walking, birding and mountain views rather than full-on game-drive intensity.
