Welcome to Your Private Hideaway on the Slopes of Mt. Meru Perched on the gentle slopes of Mt. Meru, just minutes from the gates of Arusha National Park, Meru View Retreat offers a rare kind of stay where birdsong greets your mornings, clouds roll in across forested hills, and time stretches gently to meet your pace. Set within a lush, mature garden framed by towering trees and flowering shrubs, the house features: Three spacious double bedrooms and an extra kids bedroom: each filled with natural light, local touches, and peaceful views Two generous living areas ideal for families or groups to spread out, read, connect, or work A well-equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for self-catering or enjoying home-cooked meals prepared by our local cook (available on request) Expansive terraces and outdoor spaces, ideal for yoga at sunrise, working al fresco, or enjoying sundowners with Mt. Meru in the background A beautiful private garden, rich with birds, butterflies, and the scent of wildflowers All this, with ample parking, full-time staff support, and total privacy — while still being within 30 minutes of Arusha town and easily accessible to local safari circuits.

We're a family of four who’ve called Tanzania home for over 20 years. Our house sits next door, just beyond the trees, and this land on the slopes of Mt. Meru is where we live, work, raise our children, and reconnect with the incredible nature around us every day. We both work in the sustainability and development space and are deeply passionate about protecting nature, supporting local communities, and helping others experience the beauty and rhythm of this country we love. Hosting guests from around the world is something we truly enjoy. Whether you're here to explore Arusha National Park, unwind in a peaceful garden, or simply spend time with your family away from the busy world, we’re happy to share our corner of Tanzania with you. You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, but we’re always nearby if you need help, tips, or a friendly chat over coffee. We’re also happy to connect you with trusted guides, local drivers, or a great spot for fresh bread or produce. Karibuni sana! We look forward to welcoming you.

Proximity to Nature: Just 10 minutes from Arusha National Park, this is a base where you can hike, watch colobus monkeys, or go on a game drive and be back in time for a nap in the garden hammock. Elevation and Views: At over 1,500 meters above sea level, the air is crisp, the skies wide, and the views often crowned by dramatic clouds and golden sunsets. Total Privacy: Unlike hotels and lodges nearby, this is your space alone. Ideal for longer stays, families, digital nomads, or retreats. Local Life, Safely Nearby: Your neighbors are farmers, gardeners, and nature lovers. There are no tourist crowds — just the quiet rhythm of rural Tanzanian life. Real Hospitality: We live next door and are available if you need us, but we also give you full privacy. Our wonderful cleaner helps maintain the house, and we’re happy to arrange shopping, cooking, or guiding support if you’d like it.
