Mount Meru Game Lodge

Offering warm and welcoming accommodation, an open-air restaurant, a gift shop, and a unique wedding and events venue, Mount Meru Game Lodge is set in beautiful, tranquil surroundings. The garden Sanctuary is home to water buffalo, birds and monkeys, including the elusive Colobus monkey. Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), the Lodge is an ideal starting point for your northern Tanzania safari. The property dates back to 1959 when Dr Andreas Von Nagy bought it as a family home. The main building dates back to the 1930s, when it was originally a manager’s house on a coffee plantation. Dr Von Nagy was passionate about animals and turned the place into an animal sanctuary and orphanage. He set up the Mount Meru Wildlife Reserve in order to protect the wildlife on Mount Meru, what is now part of Arusha National Park. His home and passion attracted visitors from far and wide, rooms were added to accommodate his visitors and the Lodge was born.
