The property is located very close to the gate of the Arusha National Park making it ideal for a day's safari. The rooms are well set out amongst the lush gardens and are incredibly clean. Although the beds are narrow, the mattress was extremely comfortable with nice bedding and matching curtains. The restaurant and sitting area were well appointed, airy, and beautifully constructed. We booked a safari and packed lunches from the lodge and were well pleased. the children enjoyed the swimming pool and games room while the adults swapped their books in the small library. The staff were always willing and helpful.

It is a really nice place with very nice staff. We took the walking safari and learned a lot about the nature and the local community. The rooms themselve are not luxury but good equiped. You can spend some beautiful days there. We would defenetily come again.

We stayed at Meru Mbega Lodge twice - one night prior to our ascent of Mount Meru and the night after the three-day hiking trip. Both stays were really good. Staff is extremely nice and helpful, food is great (we even got an extra portion of green vegetables), fresh fruit juices are different every day and homemade. We also enjoyed the calmness of the place, the many trees and the nice view on Kilimanjaro. We definitely would recommend to stay at this lodge if you want to visit Arusha National Park since it is very close to the first gate.

The staff were kind, friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend from this perspective. The pool was nice. The coffee was excellent and the breakfast was plentiful and good.

The whole crew was extremely welcoming, helpful and they definitely went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. We felt like an extended part of the family. Pascal gave us a (free) tour of the village and introduced us to his friends and family. We really appreciated learning more about the culture and way of life. He also joined us for a coffee tour we wanted to take and helped us to get there by Matatu. Gertrud always took good care of us - even when I was feeling a bit sick. Thank you very much to all of you!

One word: Gertrude. If you are looking for the nicest person in the world, there she is. Many thanks Gertrude Lodge is 200m from the entrance of the Arusha National Park.

Most friendly welcome, run by 2 sisters and their brother. Very good breakfast. Close to the entrance of Arusha N.P. Possible to walk to the gate or rent a safaritruck with driver for a very reasonable price.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. No request is too little or too large. The lodge is very tastefully designed and the food is great. Great location just next to Arusha National Park.

René Denmark

The location of the lodge is amazing, right in front of Arusha national park, surrounded by nature. The staff is one of the best we have had during our travel and they really make you feel at home. The food is just amazing! In the morning they serve good breakfast and we had some amazing lunch and dinner as well. Also the staff helped us getting around and arranging some activities for Christmas days.
