East of Arusha in Usa River and bordering a private wildlife sanctuary that has zebras, ostriches and colobus monkeys, Mt Meru Game Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. Stunning rooms decked out in soothing wood and white linen are some of the most pleasing in Arusha, while public areas have ample African art without being overdone.
