Mount Meru Day Hike Tanzania

Safari summary

One of the Tanzanian mountain hikes that involves a single day of hiking is the Mount Meru day hike. For those who want to experience Mount Meru day walk Tanzania in a little way but don't want to hike the peak for several days, a day hike on its slopes is the ideal excursion. After traveling through the Arusha National Park and stopping to see the wildlife (game viewing), you will trek to a height of 2,500 meters and visit a waterfall before returning to Arusha/Moshi.
Mount Meru, Tanzania's second highest mountain, is a challenging and rewarding day hike in the Arusha National Park. Starting from Momella Gate, hikers follow a well-marked trail through lush rainforests and grasslands, gradually ascending towards the summit. The trail passes through various vegetation zones, offering panoramic views of the Tanzanian landscape. After 4-5 hours, hikers reach Saddle Hut, where they can rest and enjoy stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the ash cone. The final stretch to the summit involves a steep climb.
