4-Day Trekking Meru

• You'll be collected from the airport.
• Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

Arusha to Momella Gate 1500 m – Miriakamba Hut 2500

Hiking duration is approximately 5 - 7 hours.

The vegetation type is forest.
The excursion will begin shortly after breakfast. Your guide will pick you up and take you to the Ngongongare Gate. At the gate, your guide will complete all paperwork before driving through Arusha National Park, making stops to observe wildlife. Reach Momella Gate for a last check on porters and luggage.
Following that, three days of Mt Meru trekking will begin at a leisurely and steady pace. The first day is akin to a walking safari; along the way, you may see reticulated giraffes, zebras, waterbuck, and buffaloes. Because the hike is within the park, an armed ranger will accompany you to the camp.

Following breakfast, you will continue your Mt Meru climb over the steep path into the forest zone, viewing many birds and animals along the way. You'll arrive at Saddle Hut in the alpine desert zone for a delicious lunch (your pace will determine this).
After lunch and some rest, you might take an acclimatisation walk to Little Meru (3,820 m). This is a wonderful walk with great views of Mount Meru and the surrounding area. It prepares you for a night's attempt on the main summit of Meru Mountain.
