Koroi Forest Camp, Arusha National Park, Tanzania
A Tented Camp in Tanzania
Camp Details
Koroi Forest Camp is tucked in at the base of Mount Meru, a dormant volcano that rises to 4,562 meters, making it the fifth-highest peak in Africa. Named after the Maasai word for the black-and-white colobus monkeys that call the area home, Koroi celebrates the forest itself. Those who reach the summit of Meru are met with awe-inspiring, sweeping scenes of Kilimanjaro and the expansive Rift Valley. Deep within the forest below, Koroi Forest Camp’s chalets overlook a seasonally flooded forest glade that attracts various forest wildlife.
WHY CHOOSE KOROI FOREST CAMP?

- Surrounded by majestic trees and overlooking a wildlife rich forest.
- Offers a unique opportunity to interact with forest wildlife amidst serene sounds and scents creating an immersive experience.
Questions about Koroi
How did Koroi get its name?
Koroi is the Maasai word for the black-and-white colobus monkeys that live in this forest, and the camp is built around the forest rather than open plains. The chalets look onto a seasonally flooded forest glade that draws in wildlife, so much of the viewing happens close to camp.
Is Mount Meru climbable from here?
The camp sits at the base of Mount Meru, a dormant volcano rising to 4,562 metres and Africa's fifth-highest peak. Those who reach the summit look out over Kilimanjaro and the Rift Valley. Arusha National Park's volcanic crater lakes and calderas, framed by Meru's ash cone and cliff faces, are the other draw.
Does Koroi suit families?
Children of all ages are welcome, and a forest setting with monkeys overhead usually appeals more to younger children than long days in a vehicle. Rates start from around US$721 per person per night; do ask us what is included, as this varies by season and we will confirm when we quote.
