Safari summary

Mount Meru is a great preparation hike for climbing Kilimanjaro or a spectacular trek for those not compelled to do Kilimanjaro. The climb not only offers spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro but also wildlife on the forested slopes and the summit itself offers an amazing view of small cones and craters, which are probably the results of numerous volcanic activities in the past. Kilimanjaro may be the main attraction in Tanzania, but Mount Meru is worth your attention as well.

Itinerary

Momella Gate - Miriakamba Huts

Arusha

You’ll be picked up from your Arusha hotel and transferred to the Momella Gate of Arusha National Park. Today’s hiking takes you across the open grasslands of the park in the company of an armed ranger. As you’re inside a national park, you’ll have an excellent chance of spotting games such as elephants, giraffes, buffalo, monkeys, and much more during the day. In the afternoon, you’ll begin to climb into the rainforest, where you’ll overnight in the Miriakamba huts.

Miriakamba Huts - Saddle Huts

Arusha

You’ll pass from the lush rainforest and into the more spartan heath zone today, with giant clumps of heather and other moorland scrub dotting the terrain. Hiking along the ridge of the Mount Meru Crater, you’ll have breathtaking views of both the crater and the Ash Tray. For those with a little extra energy, there’s the option to ascend to the peak of Little Mount Meru for a panoramic view of Arusha and its surroundings.

Summit - Miriakamba Huts

Arusha

You’ll be up very early today. Around midnight, in fact! It’s a steep trail that separates you from the summit of Mount Meru and your trail takes you via Rhino Point and Cobra Point through volcanic terrain before you finally reach Socialist Point. From here, you’ll experience a stunning sunrise via Arusha and the surrounding landscape before beginning your descent back to Miriakamba Huts. You’ll overnight here to get some well-earned rest!
