T1 - TANZANIA TRAILS - 2024

Set in beautiful surroundings, Mount Meru Game Lodge overlooks an expansive garden Sanctuary, home to water buffalo, peacocks, yellow-billed storks, ibis and a variety of monkeys, including the elusive white-tailed Colobus. All can be viewed at your leisure from the vantage point of our alfresco restaurant shaded by giant mature mango trees. Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), the Lodge is the ideal start (or end) point for your northern circuit safari. The original farmhouse in which now stands our bar, lounge and dining room, was originally established as a family holiday home in 1959. The past two years have seen extensive renovations to the property: 4 new ensuite guest rooms built to bring our total to 24; a series of accessible walkways added; the installation of a view deck under the shade of a magnificent cactus tree overlooking the river; and the complete overhaul of the 20 existing rooms to reveal new bathrooms, heightened ceilings and refreshed decor. All while maintaining the historical feeling of our special property, and its hospitable heart. We are a family friendly (and family run) home away from home, where the comfort and happiness of our valued guests comes first.
