Reviews of Mount Meru Game Lodge

Response from Property: We are so very happy to read about your positive experience here at our special Lodge; especially the part about our team members going the extra mile to ensure you had a comfortable and enjoyable time. As I write this, we have just experienced our first substantial November rains, which have certainly cooled things off a bit! We are honoured to have hosted you on your final night in Tanzania, and proud that we could give you such a good send-off. We hope to welcome you back again one day. Karibu tena! With best wishes from the team at Mount Meru Game Lodge.

Response from Property: Thank you so much for your lovely review and informative feedback, we appreciate it so much. Yes, April certainly is the rainy season; which can make adventurous activities difficult. Thankfully, we do see the sun on most days, in amongst the downpours, which tend to last for a time and then clear up. During this time our gardens flourish, and we're enjoying a marked increase in resident birds and butterflies in our recently landscaped Sanctuary Garden. No AC as you mention, but an electric standing fan in every room; as well as openable windows (complete with mosquito nets). We hope to meet you again, karibu tena! With best wishes from the team at Mount Meru Game Lodge.

Response from Property: Dear Austin, thank you so much for your truly wonderful review, and 5/5 rating, this is fantastic news. We are absolutely delighted to read that you had such a relaxing and enjoyable time in surroundings you found to be stylish, comfortable and inviting - a home away from home! Karibu tena! With best wishes from the team at Mount Meru Game Lodge.

Response from Property: Dear @Amendjoy, thank you very much for your valuable feedback and 4/5 rating. I'm not quite sure what is meant by the description of our location (Usa River), but we're halfway between Kilimanjaro International and Arusha Airports, with Arusha City Centre in-between; with the entrance to the Arusha National Park (Momella Gate), home to Mount Meru, a 15 minute drive away. As you know, we charge per clothing item laundered, dried and ironed, and our guests are given a list complete with prices to check off before the washing is done. Our prices (quoted in TZ shillings) are in line with similar establishments to ours; our highest prices are $3 to have a pair of hiking boots cleaned by hand; and $3,80 for a woolen cardigan or fleece/sweater, with a blouse or shirt or pair of trousers costing $2,30 and a pair of socks $1. You did have a large load of washing that required a fast turnaround, and it would have been more cost-effective to have the 73 items washed at a laundromat. We always strive to help, and would have been more than happy to try and arrange this for you, although this was not requested. We do apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you again for your feedback. Wishing you all the best from the team at Mount Meru Game Lodge.

Response from Property: Dear Kyle, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and 5/5 rating for all aspects of your stay; this is really great news.

With very best wishes from the team at Mount Meru Game Lodge.

Response from Property: Dear Petrie and Marushka, thank you so much for this fantastic feedback about your recent stay-over, and your multiple visits for meals and chill-time spent in our grounds over the years.

Response from Property: Dear Katie, it was a great pleasure hosting you and your family recently here at our special Lodge. Nothing could make us happier than reading all about your positive and restorative experience.
