Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge Highlights

Set in lush gardens amid forest and crystal clear waters on the slopes of Mount Meru, Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge is a wonderful place to relax and simmer in the immense beauty of East Africa. Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge is an old german colonial farmhouse in the foothills above Usa River. A stunning location, beautifully kept gardens, a dreamy lake and a great view of Mt Kilimanjaro. Cold water springs rising in the forest feed a crystal clear lake home to many kinds of frogs, fresh water crabs and fish including barbel, sword-tails and trout. You will have the opportunity to try your hand at still water fly-fishing for specimen rainbow trout.

Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge Game Viewing and Activities

Arusha National Park offers scenic landscapes and diverse fauna and flora. The lush park is characterised by waterfalls and lakes, steep cliffs and gorges, swamps and waterholes, providing the ideal habitat for wildlife. Here guests can enjoy Africa at its best and experienced guides will accompany guests on walking safaris, canoeing trips on the lakes or exciting game drives. Arusha National Park has the highest giraffe population density in Africa. It is home to groups of forest elephant, many buffalo, water and bushbucks, duikers and dik diks. Spotted hyenas, leopards and civet cats are some of the predator inhabitants. A major attraction is the large number in primates; especially the Black and White Colobus and the shining Blue- or Sykes Monkeys, which are very likely to be seen on a game drive or a walk in the park.

Of over 500 species of birds that occur in the Arusha area over 200 can be observed around Ngare Sero forest, lake and beautiful gardens. Our bird list includes 16 species of herons, fish eagles, hornbills and many others.
