"Warm welcome after a 12 hours travel"

1 night Arrived 16 Oct 2020
"The lodge is very comfortable and calm, and close to the airport, which is what you really want after you spent some 10 hours on a plane. In the morning we had a very nice breakfast on the terrace, surrounded by birds, monkeys and a couple of zebras. The staff greeted us very warmly."

"Mount Meru Game Lodge & Sanctuary review"

1 night Arrived 10 Oct 2018
"We arrived and left in the dark so cannot give a different rating. It was a convenient stopover and the Nomad pick-up service was very efficient. We were made to feel welcome, even offered a full meal when the kitchens had most probably stopped serving, but ate nothing at the lodge. It was a comfortable night but a short one!"

" This is a great place for a overnight stay"

1 night Arrived 15 Feb 2018
"The staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were lovely; our room looked over the lake, which meant we had a fabulous view of all the animals. The food was also really nice with huge portions.

I would have liked to stayed a little longer to have chilled and swam in the pool, but our time was limited.

This is a great place for a overnight stay before heading out on safari." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"Good first stop in Arusha"

1 night Arrived 9 Sep 2015
"Mt. Meru Game Lodge is the perfect place to hang your hat after a long flight to Kilimanjaro.

The food was very good, employees were extremely friendly, and the grounds were beautifully manicured. The room was nothing fancy, but clean, with a comfortable bed and quiet location. Waking up in the morning to colobus monkeys in the trees was wonderful, and the breakfast was tasty.

I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again at the beginning or end of a safari." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania

1 night Arrived 29 Jul 2008
"Mount Meru Game lodge was only a brief stop for us.

We arrived late and left early, so unfortunately we didn't have a chance to see the animals.

Dinner was good and the staff provided us with breakfast and lunch boxes due to our early departure." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania
