This is one great hotel with history going back to the 1930s. The hotel and its furnishings hark back to an Africa of the past and the new owner has spent efforts to maintain that quaint atmosphere. He succeeded. The hotel sits on beautifully maintained property with a pool and animals roam a short distance away. Some resident monkeys thrive in the trees above adding to the sanctuary atmosphere intended. A surprisingly well stocked gift shop is at the front of the property. The rooms are a bit dated, adding to their charm, and spotlessly clean. The outdoor dining area offers spectacular views particularly at night when outdoor lighting is added. Five stars particularly for the food, cleanliness, setting, service and really nice bedding.

Our visit to Mount Meru Game Lodge was more than a place to sleep. Packed in 24 hours was a walk through history, walls lined pictures of the lodge and the story of the family who built it, the wildlife it served to protect, a homestead atmosphere with attentive staff at every turn, a kitchen who's chef masterfully prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner, with even a comical "Zonkey" and water buffalo on the grounds for one on the most unique wildlife experiences in all of Africa. To top it off, Owner, Harry, paid us a short visit and shared his amazing story. We will indeed be spending more time at Mount Meru Game Lodge, not just to sleep but to take it all in again. Go, stay, then tell your friends!

I was highly disappointed with my stay at Mt Meru Game Lodge. For the premium price charged, I expected a far better experience. The rooms are quite outdated, lacking the comfort and charm you’d anticipate from a lodge at this price point. What was most surprising—and frankly, unacceptable—was that no complimentary drinking water was provided to guests. Having to purchase basic water at an already expensive lodge felt excessive and out of touch with guest expectations, especially in a hospitality setting like this. On a more positive note, the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, and the breakfast was good. However, these few positives were not enough to justify the cost of staying here. Overall, it’s simply not worth the price. There are better options available in the area that offer more value, comfort, and guest-friendly amenities. I would not recommend Mt Meru Game Lodge unless there are significant improvements made.

I stayed at MMGL on the last night of a 3-week trip to Tanzania. The staff were so kind, helpful, and friendly. Ameema in the office assisted me in organzing a last-minute half day trip in nearby Arusha National Park, and the co-owner Harry was also very encouraging and helpful. Their box lunch was the best I had of all the safari days. If the wait staff saw you once, they’d recognize you and treat you like a friend from that time on. I felt very taken care of. The place has a distinct historic feel, and the room had some of that atmosphere (such as old light switches); it felt a bit like home. The room was spacious with a nice view of the pond. It didn’t have air conditioning, but the fan was sufficient (& it wasn't that hot in November). The lodge grounds are beautiful, and it was fun to see the water buffalo. The food was delicious (chicken schwarma for dinner). In the trees and on the roof of the cottage, monkeys cavorted around—that was an entertaining send-off on my last evening in Tanzania!

We stayed there for 2 nights and had a very relaxing time. They can organize several tours, although during raining season is a bit difficult to go for forest walks. It is a bit far from Arusha town, but nice because quiet. They have nice gardens and you can relax in the compound watching birds and buffalos. Service is great. We stayed in the cottage room, very comfortable but no AC. We recommend if for a short and relaxing trip.

Mount Meru Game Lodge was an absolute delight! The sanctuary’s scenery is breathtaking, creating a serene, cool atmosphere that instantly makes you want to relax. The amenities and furniture were top-notch, offering comfort and style. Everything about the lodge was perfect, from the attentive service to the beautiful surroundings. I truly enjoyed my stay and felt completely at ease in such a peaceful setting. Whether you’re looking to unwind or explore, Mod Metal Game Lodge has it all. Highly recommended!

We had a nice stay at this place. The location itself is really beautiful and the stuff very kind and helpful! But the location is a bit far from the rest so you need to plan your time and schedule over here before you come. And we don‘t recommend doing the laundry at this place as it‘s just way too expensive. Unfortunately we didn‘t have any other choice, so we happend to pay 90 US-Dollar for a normal laundry load, which is way too much. So if you can, plan to do your laundry somewhere else.

A unique experience. Very friendly and competent staff. The room was clean, the atmosphere was so relaxing and calming. A truly great experience for 1st night in Tanzania. My only problem was it was not a long enough stay. Thank you to all the staff!
