African View Lodge Situated at the base of Mount Meru, with breathtaking vistas of the mountain and located in the quaint village of Ngongongare, our African View Lodge awaits you. Situated a comfortable thirty-minute drive from Kilimanjaro International Airport and also from Arusha town, our lodge serves as an ideal starting point for your climbing adventures to Mount Meru (4,566 m) and Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), in addition to safaris. This delightful small lodge features 23 en-suite rooms that offer stunning views of Mount Meru. The reception, dining area, and bungalows have been constructed with local resources featuring Meru-style ceilings adorned with banana leaves. The tropical garden, featuring an infinity swimming pool as its focal point, provides a refreshing dip, particularly in the warm months. In the evenings, while savoring a sundowner on our “Meru View platform” to conclude the day, our chefs will be occupied crafting delicious meals using fresh ingredients sourced directly from the markets. We are excited to welcome you to our own slice of paradise
