Overview
Nestled at the verdant foothills of Mount Meru in vibrant Arusha City, Mount Meru Hotel offers an exquisite, tented safari camp experience that blends urban accessibility with the untamed spirit of Tanzania’s northern circuit. Surrounded by nine acres of lush gardens and overlooking the dramatic silhouette of Mount Meru, this camp is a gateway to the wonders of Arusha National Park, where colobus monkeys swing through ancient forests and flamingos grace the Momella Lakes. Just a short drive from the bustling markets and cultural hubs of Arusha, the camp feels like a secluded sanctuary, with the distant calls of wildlife harmonizing with the rustle of acacia trees.
The camp’s aesthetic marries contemporary elegance with authentic African charm, featuring spacious en-suite tents adorned with handcrafted furnishings and private verandas that invite guests to savor sunrise views over the mountain. Days here are filled with adventure—embark on game drives to spot giraffes and buffalo, enjoy guided walking safaris through the park’s diverse ecosystems, or indulge in a bush breakfast under the open sky. For those seeking a bird’s-eye view, hot-air balloon rides over the savannah offer unforgettable vistas.
