Pros
- • Quick 10-minute transfer to the tee, arranged for you
- • Forgiving enough for mixed-ability groups

Worth knowing

- • Big hitters may find it short off the back tees
- • Early tee times are cold before the sun burns off
Wildlife on our doorstep
Sundowners on the plains and a bush breakfast we still talk about. Our guide made the trip. The pool and à la carte dining were a nice step up.

Game drives from Mount Meru Hotel Arusha were consistently excellent — we saw lion and cheetah on our first morning. The pool and à la carte dining were a nice step up.
