We were so glad we booked this brilliant lodge for the beginning and end of our amazing Tanzanian trip. Harry and his partner should be congratulated on how beautiful the grounds are, for how well furnished the rooms are and for how well run the lodge is. The staff at reception and in the restaurant were outstanding and the quality of the food was excellent. Also having the beautiful gardens to wander around watching the wild birds and three species of monkey was unforgettable. Thanks to all at Meru for making our holiday the brilliant experience it was.

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.

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.

Romantic, rustic, renovated Game Lodge

Even though I was in Arusha for business, I decided to stay in the Game Lodge as it has a good reputation. The newly renovated cottages were a delight - comfortable and jus the right mix of rustic and modern. The surrounding area was a delight with daily viewing of animals with breakfast and entertainment with the different sorts of monkeys in the forest surrounding the lodge. We had peacocks, Crains, Water buffalos, Zebras and a host of other animals including 2 owls who call the Lodge's palm trees home. It was simply a delight.

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.
