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.

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.

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!!

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!
