Tanzania's firsttrueclaycourt.
Crushed brick, the slow red bounce, and the long shadow of Mount Meru. A members' tennis club built around the most beautiful surface in the game.
ABOUT THE CLUB
Clay rewards patience. It slows the ball, lengthens the rally, and asks you to build a point instead of ending it. We brought that game to Arusha.
Meru Clay is a private tennis club at the foot of Mount Meru, just outside Arusha. Two championship clay courts, hand-laid from crushed brick and watered twice daily, give you the genuine European clay experience at altitude.
Whether you grew up on hard courts or have never picked up a racquet, the clay is forgiving on the knees and unforgiving on the ego. Come learn the surface the pros fear most.

THE CLUB & COURTS
Two courts,
one standard.
Both hand-laid over a limestone base, brushed and watered twice a day for a true, slow bounce. The only difference between them is the light.

DAYLIGHTCourt B
The quieter court, under the trees. No lights, so the last ball goes up at dusk — the pick for a morning hit or a lesson.
- SURFACE
- Hand-laid crushed brick
- HOURS
- 06:00 — 18:45
- LIGHTS
- None, dusk finish
Clay-specialist coaches and a junior academy work across both courts, and the pro shop keeps balls, grips and strings — from a first lesson to match prep.
