hi I'm Gary beverage of tips for
0:02
travelers I'm here at the Mount Meru
0:04
game sanctuary Lodge in Tanzania it's
0:06
about 15 minutes drive from Mount
0:09
Kilimanjaro Airport and it's a beautiful
0:10
green lush resort was actually
0:13
established in 1959 which is the same
0:16
year that I was born by a man called dr.
0:18
Don Nagy he was a Hungarian who'd
0:20
studied in Germany he studied wildlife
0:22
and hunting and he came to Tanzania and
0:24
we got involved in conservation safaris
0:27
and he had this property which he
0:29
started to then run safaris from he
0:31
started building cottages for friends
0:32
and family he also created a sanctuary
0:34
on the property which became very
0:36
well-known and renowned place for locals
0:40
as well as tourists to come and see
0:41
animals that have been rescued from the
0:43
wild today there are still some animals
0:44
on the property vism wood buffalo some
0:47
porcupines as a crocodile that's been
0:49
here for over 30 years this tortoises
0:51
there's loads of monkeys around as as
0:54
their brothers an ostrich and that kind
0:56
of dotted around the property the
0:58
property still actually maintained by
1:00
the family and as a camera recording his
1:02
grandson actually manages and runs the
1:05
property so it's still in family hands
1:06
so the actual property itself it's
1:08
spread across these beautiful green lush
1:10
grounds there's a beautiful reception
1:12
area and then there's a bar area with
1:15
connected to that lounge area as well as
1:19
a beautiful dining room which serves
1:21
breakfast lunch and dinner there are
1:23
individual cottages which can host you
1:25
know double beds twin beds singles or
1:27
larger groups now we're going to go and
1:29
take a look at the room that I was
1:31
staying in which was room number three
1:36
is a standard room and it's on a master
1:39
it's a good size it's dominated by this
1:42
very large king-size four-poster bed
1:45
cover of course a mosquito netting
1:47
because it is a mosquito area let's take
1:50
a look around at some of the other parts
1:52
of Yunnan so you have this desk here
1:55
underneath all the windows that looks
1:57
outside the chair and your bedside table
2:01
coverings I want to point out you have a
2:04
couple of bottles of water both here and
2:07
in the bathroom very important because
2:11
tap water and you should use it when
2:13
you're brushing your teeth also what
2:16
they provide is a couple of sprays you
2:20
know bug sprays and approach as well
2:22
because liquidity can be little bit and
2:24
reliable they do have a generator but
2:27
that has been switched on manually so it
2:29
can take you awhile before that comes on
2:31
if there's any power cuts let's take a
2:34
look at the rest of the room so in terms
2:38
of plugs its UK star three point plugs
2:43
that you have that's very important if
2:45
you're coming from the US or from Europe
2:49
fan there and around here gives them a
2:54
little table and the other thing I want
2:57
to show you is the area for storage so
3:01
you have some hanging space and you know
3:05
some storage takes up there full-length
3:08
mirror there and then down here you have
3:10
to know people you have more storage
3:12
space safe and more storage space search
3:17
space is not huge and as you can see by
3:19
the way that I've unpacked
3:20
now you tender and we stain you know a
3:22
92 so you end up largely being a
3:25
suitcases so that's what I have done
3:27
largely so here into the bathroom edge
3:30
it's a pretty big bathroom and you have
3:33
basin not that you're going to toilet
3:35
there and then across here we have the
3:38
shower now the water is very hot but
3:42
fire fire ripping boilers so you what
3:48
they tell you is evil was running for a
3:50
minute or two before we get talk but it
3:53
does get pretty hot swinging back around
3:56
this is room number three this may be to
4:00
show you the view half of room number
4:03
three so it goes across to the enclosure
4:05
there where you have the various
4:09
then as you sort of swim around you can
4:13
see so the other questions and across up
4:17
to moon balloon well hope you found that
4:20
helpful and it's giving you an insight
4:22
into a great lodge in Tanzania it's a
4:25
fantastic place because it's about 50
4:26
minutes drive from the airport so if
4:28
you're flying in particularly late
4:30
it's not that far at all and it's a
4:32
great starting point for a safari in
4:33
Tanzania if you enjoy the video I love
4:36
