Mount Meru Trek – 3 Days Adventure
Trek through lush forests and moorlands before conquering the summit, with panoramic views that stretch over Kilimanjaro and the
Great Rift Valley.
Itinerary
Drive from Arusha to Momella Gate for registration and park entry. Begin your trek through lush
rainforest filled with birds and monkeys. After about 4 hours of hiking, arrive at Miriakamba Hut to set up
camp and enjoy the serene natural surroundings.
Trek through bamboo forests and moorland, gaining altitude steadily. Absorb stunning views of the
Ngurdoto Crater and distant Kilimanjaro. Reach Saddle Hut, situated between Meru’s peaks, where you
rest and prepare for the summit push the next day.
Begin your ascent just before dawn, reaching the summit in time for an unforgettable sunrise over
Kilimanjaro and the Rift Valley. After soaking in the views, descend back through the forest to Momella
Gate where your vehicle will transfer you to Arusha, marking the end of your adventure.
