This lodge is fairly close to the airport and close to Arusha town, but you will have to take a taxi into town. It has a beautiful rural setting with animals right in your backyard. Lunch is lovely outside with Black and White Colobus Monkeys running around in the trees right over your head. My 6-year-old son loved being so... more

We arrived here as the first night of a safari tour – we had just finished a camping safari in Botswana, so we were not accustomed to luxury. What a welcome surprise this was! A beautiful lodge style hotel with a fantastic game reserve in site of the lawns, where we had a tea served. It definitely whet our appetite... more

My wife, 19 year old daughter and I spent two nights at this charming lodge at the start of our safari which included two nights at the Serena Ngorongoro, a night at Mbuzi Mawe in the central Serengeti and three nights at Sayari in the Mara Triangle. We arrived at the lodge at about 9:00 pm after a long flight... more

We arrived hear mid morning after along overnight flight from the UK. This place was just what we needed, relaxation and adventure all in one. Our room was Room No. 1, just on the edge of the animal sanctuary by its lake. The decor inside was lovely and we both fell in love with the four poster bed and its... more

We arrived late, tired from a long overseas trip. The room was a great surprise: roomy, comfy, quiet, appealing with its mosquito netting. The next morning, we waltzed out to see our first Tanzanian creatures: ostriches, zebras, even peacocks! The grounds were nice and exotic. Breakfast was good, including a hot cooked dish of your choice. more

We spent the first night of our safari holiday at Mount Meru Game Lodge in September 2008. Conviniently located half an hour's drive from Kilimajaro Int Airport, it enabled us to spend a relaxing afternoon recovering from our overnight flight. Our bedroom was clean and comfortable and as other reviews have said, very much in the old colonial style. The... more

This property was highly recommended to us by some friends who stayed there in 2007 and we organised our trip so that we could spend 2 nights at Mount Meru Game Lodge at the beginning of our Tanzania safari. The hotel grounds were green and lush, the animals and birds in the sanctuary provided us with many hours of pleasure... more

The place is located in a beautiful setting with an adjoining sanctuary. All rooms vary in size and decoration, with rooms in the calm backyard with a river and others in the more public part with direct view on the pond. The atmosphere is grand with the general manager creating a truly intimate atmosphere and making guests feel welcome. The... more

Thank you for your very frank review of Mount Meru Game Lodge & Sanctuary. The property has been completely renovated in recent years and the Interior Designer responsible for the works carried out did try her utmost to create an ambiance very similar to the one which would have existed in the early 1960's when the lodge was originally built....
