The staff at Meru Mbega lodge are absolutely amazing - Teresa was so helpful and we felt well looked after. They organised a game drive to Tarangire and Arusha national park for us - both great. Food at the restaurant is great and good prices. The pool, garden area and look out tower are all perfect for the stay

Lovely! Will be back!

I loved the stay at Meru Mbega - the location is excellent! It's a beautiful slightly older property that has a beautiful aesthetic of mossy beauty close to the park's edge. If you're looking for a rustic, classic location, this is the spot! The nighttimes are quiet and dark and beautiful.

Great Lodge on the edge of Arusha National Park. Teresa and Goodwill are absolutely lovely hosts. They did everything to welcome us and treat us. We arrived very late on the first night and this was not a problem. They arranged a 1 day safari into Arusha Park at the last minute, which was brilliant.. And the food, fruit and homemade breakfast and juices were delicious.

Great Experience, would return again just at a different time of the year.

Amazing staff that couldn’t do enough for me and were extremely accommodating and helpful in every way. Location is extremely tranquil and peaceful, especially over looking Arusha National Park from the tower. Rooms are a good size.

Lush beautiful Lodge with such a friendly atmosphere

Where should I start to praise this beautiful paradise spot on the border of Arusha national park? Lovely friendly staff Lovely friendly owner (half German/half Tanzanian) Possibility to go on walks in neigbouring forest and area with an enthousiastic guide who takes pride in his work and culture Possibility to book Safari Creatively build Lodge with eye for detail The best hot shower ever 😊 Cosy bungalows African style decorated Neatly kept garden and property where you can wander around Organic freshly made food (Early order because they get everything from local suppliers) Nice tiny swimming pool A watchtower from which you can overlook Arusha park area and Mount Meru and have a ‘chill and drink’ And of course our furry friend Pamba 💖🐶💖 We felt very much at home and would have loved to stay a bit longer!! Guess we have to come back 🤗🙏🏻🤗 Asante 💗 Anja and Marilyn

The location of the lodge is exellent if You are coming or going to Kilimanjaro airport. It is half way to Arusha and not far from the main road. The surrounding area is naturally beautiful, birds are singing and butterflys fling. We saw squirrels and the monkeys with blue balls on the territory. We spent half of the day in the tower, we didn`t see any animals, but it was still very enjoable. Meals were delicious and reasonably priced.

Charming safari lodge with lush garden and the nicest staff

A classic safari lodge with loads of charm and atmosphere. Staff was super nice and helpful. The wonderful. lush garden provides a green and tranquil refuge for humans, birds and butterflies alike. Great views of both Meru and Kili.
