Mount Meru Game Lodge

Mount Meru Game Lodge began as a humble farmhouse in the 1930s, at the heart of a coffee farm. It was in the 1950s that Hungarian-born conservationist Andreas von Nagy purchased the plot and set to work creating his home on African soil. Over the years, it became a special meeting place for friends and family from all over the world, and, eventually, a must-visit stop on the hospitality map in northern Tanzania. For decades, it was managed by a series of hospitality companies, but in 2016, the Lodge was placed back into family hands. Since then, renovation and refurbishment have breathed new life into the grounds and amenities, and the arrival of new partners in 2021 heralded yet another fresh start. Amidst all these changes, the Lodge’s signature look and feel has certainly not been lost. Vintage photos, maps, and relics from the past, combined with handmade decor and art from Tanzania and further afield in Africa, combine to create a homely and welcoming space with a big heart. Wherever you go on our property, you will see our passion for supporting local artisans such as furniture makers and tailors (or ‘fundis’ in the local dialect) shining through. Putting it all together has been a labour of love, and we can’t wait for you to experience our special place. Karibuni sana.
