Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge

Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge

Set in lush gardens amid forest and crystal clear waters on the slopes of Mount Meru, Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge is a beautiful place to relax and simmer in the immense beauty of East Africa. The Lodge was adapted from an early colonial farmhouse built in the early 20th century and is one of the oldest family lodges in Arusha. It offers 10 Garden Rooms, 2 Main House Suites, and a Farm Cottage with three bedrooms. Ngare Sero has been providing personal service for its residents since 1974. Here, you can spend the days amid nature, watching the changing colors of the Kilimanjaro glaciers while sipping drinks on the verandah or hiking in the forest inhabited by colobus and Sykes monkeys and hundreds of small animal and bird species. The Lodge is only 30 minutes (20 km) away from Kilimanjaro International Airport and Arusha town center, and it is a perfect base for a safari in northern Tanzania.
