Arusha Tour Overview

The climb up Mount Meru is a rewarding adventure that offers stunning views, wildlife sightings and a moderately challenging yet approachable trek. Standing at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet), Mount Meru is the second-highest mountain in Tanzania and provides an excellent acclimatization climb before attempting Mount Kilimanjaro. The route starts at Momella Gate and passes through varied landscapes, including open grasslands, mountain forests teeming with birds and monkeys, and eventually reaching the summit at Socialist Peak.

This is a 3-day trekking adventure to the peak of Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second highest mountain, which stands at a height of over 4,500 metres. You will enjoy the flora and fauna of the area as you hike through the forested slopes as well as magnificent views from the summit.

Arusha Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival

After pickup your driver/guide will take you to the Momella gate for registration. The tour starts at the second gate where we meet other groups that will also be hiking. You will be accompanied by the guide and a park ranger. This leg of the hike will take about 7-8 hours from the gate to Miriakamba hut, the first camp. On the way up you may see animals such as buffaloes, giraffes, warthogs, elephants, monkeys, gazelles and others. At the first camp we will stop for lunch, dinner and rest for the night.

Day 2

Proceed from Miriakamba to Saddle

After breakfast we will proceed from Miriakamba to Saddle hut. This leg of the hike is shorter, approximately 5-6 hours long, but steeper. As we begin to ascend you will notice a difference in both temperature and vegetation. There are a few rest stops on the way if needed. On arrival at Saddle hut we will relax and have lunch before setting off in the evening for a short hike to Little Meru where we can enjoy the sunset. We return to Saddle hut where we will have dinner and spend the night.

Day 3

Drop

This will be our last day on the mountain. Our hike up to the summit begins at midnight and will take about 6 hours. We should arrive at the top around 6 in the morning for the sunrise. We will have a short rest before going back to camp where we relax a bit more and prepare to return to the gate for drop-off.

We arrive back at the Momella gate around 6pm.
