Come to where old and new meet 
It is Faustianly attractive to imagine yourself in a time and place when life was simple, when you had the wealth of a nation at your back and call, and lived in a house the copy of your house in Europe, yet in the middle of the Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. In Oloika Soni Lodge, this atmosphere has remained, while the nation has become the proud owner of its own destiny, and the vibrant life of its citizens can be seen in the markets and along the streets of Soni village, just outside of the gate of the Lodge. Oloika Soni Lodge is spectacular. A house you would expect in south German mountain villages, with its paneled walls, stuccoed ceilings, and a great fireplace for cold nights in this hill-top residence. Everything is set to make you feel home yet far from home. The owner, from Tanzania, and the manager, will make you feel as welcome as any guest can be.
The house, the waterfall, the hills
Apart from the house, with its dining room, the living, the comfortable bedrooms and hot water showers, there is the surrounding garden, kept by the manager of the house. Tropical and european plants mingle to form a colourful background to the house. And in the distance, there is this noise. Refreshing, relaxing, the Soni Waterfall can always be heard in the distance, and can be viewed from some of the rooms and from the terrace outside. No noise at night can be more soothing than the water falling from the rocks down below. And around, there are the hills, with their check-board pattern of trees, maize, houses and reeds along the stream.
Your perfect stop-over between Osilalei Safari Lodge and Saange Beach Lodge!
One leisurely day's drive from both Osilalei Safari Lodge and Saange Beach Lodge, and again in a spectacular and unique mountain landscape, you will find Oloika Soni Lodge the perfect stop-over. From the rolling hills of the Maasai rangelands, you will experience the coolness of this high-altitude village. And finally, the warm breeze and the sandy beaches will lure you on to end your travels in Saange Beach Lodge.
