Walking Tours

Nothing can explain Africa more than breathing in its fresh air whilst walking through it.

Why not take a scenic walk to the neighboring villages and traverse the lush forests that lead you to a nearby local market? This immersive journey allows you to experience the area's natural beauty and vibrant market life up close.

Alternatively, visit our local farm where you'll not only explore traditional Tanzanian coffee roasting methods but also see where most of the ingredients for your meals come from. This farm-to-table connection offers a unique perspective on how local produce is grown and harvested, enriching your dining experience.

For a deeper cultural experience, you can engage with the village's traditional way of life, including livestock management and daily practices. These excursions provide a meaningful connection with the local community, giving you a richer understanding of their customs, traditions, and the sources of the food on your plate.

Trips to Markets

Why not delve into the vibrant local culture by visiting the nearby markets and witnessing the daily lives of local merchants firsthand? We offer daily trips to the lively markets of Usa River, Tengeru, and Kikatiti. These bustling markets provide a unique opportunity to explore a rich tapestry of fresh produce, artisanal crafts, and traditional goods.

As you wander through the market stalls, you'll experience the energetic atmosphere and interact with local vendors, gaining insights into their daily routines and the vibrant community life. It’s an enriching way to engage with the culture, enjoy local flavors, and take home unique souvenirs.

Climbing and Trekking

Beautiful landscapes whilst enjoying the time of your life

Standing at 5,895 meters above sea level, Kilimanjaro, the "Roof of Africa," is truly one of the world’s natural wonders. If you're in Africa and eager to experience nature at its finest, climbing Kilimanjaro is an absolute must! For those seeking an even greater challenge, we also offer climbing trips to tackle the rugged terrain of Mount Meru, which rises to 4,484 meters above sea level.

Relaxing Environment

Nestled on the tranquil slopes of Mount Meru, Meru Mbega Lodge offers a serene retreat where guests can reconnect with nature. Stroll through our vibrant gardens, listen to the melodious songs of birds, and let the peaceful atmosphere melt away your stress.

For wildlife enthusiasts, our viewing tower provides a perfect vantage point to observe the Arusha National Park. On lucky days, you may spot elephants, giraffes, monkeys, and even buffaloes right from the lodge.

After a long safari or during a cool afternoon, our swimming pool offers the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a refreshing swim. It’s an ideal way to ease tension and clear your mind.

If you're feeling competitive, challenge a friend or family member to a game of billiards in our leisure area!
