Gran Melia Arusha

The Foothills of Mount Meru Nestled in the heart of Arusha, the lodge sits at the footsteps of Mount Meru and within striking distance of Mount Kilimanjaro. Its strategic location makes it the premier “launchpad and closure point” for an ADS safari, providing easy access to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and Arusha Airport.
