I am planning to take the trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro and Babylon Lodge will be my hotel of choice. I just have the feeling the place must be very interesting. The chicken has started making me to feel hungry!

Would love to hear the rest of the story. I have done this trip myself, and had a wonderful time. Super hospitable locals. Fantastic scenery, and not one spot of trouble with the buses, the taxis or John and Moses.

Glad that you enjoyed the post on my 1994 Kilimanjaro hike. I will try to fill in the blanks some day: the text is somewhat fragmented as it is the first text I ever wrote online back in the mid-nineties.

My stay at Babylon Lodge was the setting for my first “real” adventure and it will always have a special place in my heart, therefore it greatly pleases me to learn that Babylon Lodge is still alive and kicking! You didn’t mention anything about the menu though – was it still chicken only with a selection of potatoes or rice?

it is an interesting article especialy when u were forced to pay some amount to be shown your way to Babylon Lodge. I also went to the same lodge a few months ago but the situation was very different. The place has been greatly improved and it has become one of the leading hotels in Marangu. It had a good number of staff and they were all eager to make the customers comfortable. Infact I have not experienced such hospitality anywhere alse in Africa. Their good rooms and beautiful gardes will always be a sight to admire in my album. They also organised for me a mountain climb and I was impresed with their guide.
If this was the situation back then I can say Babylon Lodge has made it through the dark times and it has made a name for itself. It is not only a beautiful lodge with good services but also with affordable prices. They have also changed their website which is now http://www.babylonlodge.net
