Mount Meru Hotel

A large four-star business and safari hotel in landscaped grounds in Arusha, the standard town base for the night before or after a northern-circuit trip.

Hotel ★★★★☆ Mid-range Arusha town Arusha National Park

The Mount Meru Hotel is one of Arusha's main full-service hotels — several hundred rooms, a big pool, conference facilities and gardens — used mostly for the transit night at the start or end of a safari when an early or late flight makes staying out of town impractical.

It's comfortable and central rather than atmospheric; the safari begins the next morning.

Good to Know

  • Bed & breakfast or half board
  • Large swimming pool and gardens
  • Central Arusha, ~45 min from Kilimanjaro Airport
