Vintage charm and modern comfort: Arriving at the Main House, where our safari adventure begins.
In just a few days, Vicki and I will be back in the air, heading to Tanzania to welcome a new group of safarists. We’ll be meeting them at a place that has quickly become a favorite: the Arusha Farm House.
A Blend of Heritage and Modern Comfort
Perched on the scenic shoulders of Mt Meru, this four-star lodge is perfectly situated off the main road between Moshi and Arusha. It offers a captivating atmosphere where vintage African charm meets contemporary luxury. Whether you’re arriving for the first time or returning, the Main House provides a warm and welcoming reception.

Exceptional Facilities & Growth
The site has recently expanded (2025) to offer a wider range of accommodations and services:
Diverse Lodging: Guests will discover single, double, or triple rooms, as well as private standalone bungalows.
Modern Amenities: All rooms feature in-room Wi-Fi, laundry services, and seasonal climate control (heating or air conditioning) for ultimate comfort.
Wellness & Recreation: Guests can now enjoy a dedicated spa and exercise room, or relax at the pool house and bar located right in the yard.
Dining Amongst the Trees
One of our favorite highlights from last year was the newly opened dining hall. We were among the first few groups to experience this stunning space, which opens directly onto the surrounding forest and offers breathtaking views of the natural wonders of Mt Meru.
Forest Flavors: Savoring locally-sourced meals in a dining room that brings the outside in.
The Heart of the Lodge: The Staff
As with all the lodges we partner with, the excellent staff is what truly sets the experience apart. From the warm greetings at reception to the nightly bonfire prepared in the pit behind the dining hall, every detail is handled with care.
After the long flight from the US, there is no better place to rest and prepare for the adventure ahead. We can’t wait to repeat the experience with our new team!.
