Mount Meru Game Lodge

I arrived at the property at 4am. My driver woke someone up in order for the gates to be opened. From the moment I stepped into this magical world, I felt swept away by the atmosphere, the 4 poster bed, the warm shower, the surrounding nature and even the charming monkeys running on the property. I enjoyed an in-room massage and a fantastic breakfast and lunch. Five stars are not enough. This place is definitely a 10 out of 10.

wonderful staff, amazing property.

This was a fantastic property! So much local wildlife and excellent views! Rooms and grounds were beautiful and food was Delicious and staff helpful and gracious!

Mount Meru is a step back in time. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was extremely kind. We needed a late check out and they were wonderful with that. The dinner was delicious. The breakfast leaves with more to desire although they did have an omlet station which was great. There was plenty of hot water for 3 women to take consecutive showers. I would definitely come back and stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the lodge. The property is beautiful and the service excellent. The owners care about their guests and are very helpful. It is the perfect start or end for a safari.

This property has a lot of history to it and is very cozy because of its well established grounds. It’s like taking a step back in time.

Loved staying here, away from noise of Arusha before setting out on safari. Est our meals outside near waterhole with Colobus monkeys in the trees. Staff were lovely.

A good old style gMe lodge!

Not a lot of stuff in close proximity.

My favorite lodge during my 3 wk Tanzania trip. 3-day stay to unwind after Kili climb and safari. Loved it! Very personalable and local vibe; not touristy or pretentious. Central and quiet location <1 hr from airport makes a great home base for safaris, Arusha Natl Park, or Kilimanjaro climb. Comfortable, clean, rooms, though I spent most of my time relaxing outdoors on the grounds, where there were plenty of spots to read, write, and watch the animals in the nearby "watering hole". Best kitchen of the half dozen places I stayed in Tanzania, available pretty much all day. Staff are just wonderful: very friendly, engaging, and helpful. I highly recommend the town tour and the canoe tour on nearby Lake Duluti, which is a birdwatcher paradise. Both are < 3hrs, close by, and can be arranged through the lodge.

Property was quiet, lovely, comfortable & safe. Staff & management were so kind & accommodating. Great breakfasts & artist-in-residence. Easy to book & arrange reliable airport transfer. Would definitely stay here again.

Great overnight stay staff is fantastic

We really enjoyed our stay! We were in the family cottage (#9) overlooking the animal sanctuary, so it was fun to watch the zonkeys, buffalo, peacocks, various other birds and monkeys. Service was impeccable at all times. The restaurant was very good also. It was the perfect place to spend a few days after our safari and before we headed back home. Highly recommend!!

Great place to catch up on long flights/layovers. Wonderful on property manager to take care of all needs, very friendly staff.

It is such a beautiful place. Everything was so cared for and staff were wonderful

It’s a piece of heaven on earth. What a stunning place to relax and enjoy nature.

What a beautiful property with an abundance of wildlife and it’s own pond. This lodge has an old world Safari feel with modern amenities. In the two days we stayed we saw Vervet Monkees, Colobus Monkees, water Buffalo, many birds and a Zebra donkey. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough about the staff, amazing. The grounds were wonderful.

Staff was excellent. Very attentive and willing to help. The place is not a 5 star fancy hotel. But it is exceedingly charming and enjoyable to stay at. We loved sitting on our porch and watching the animals in the pond. Beautiful surroundings and very comfortable rooms. Food was very delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodations in this area. You can't beat it for the price.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great day tours. Super basecamp for northern Tanzania safaris. Ostrich, zebras, monkeys, cranes, storks, etc. right on the property. Much better than staying in loud, busy, Arusha. Easy access
