Mount Meru

Description

Located 70 km west of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru offers valuable acclimatization before a Kilimanjaro attempt, with stunning scenery despite its lower summit.

Mount Meru’s moods vary, from winter snow on the summit to sunny weather for most of the year. The Crater wall ruptured 250,000 years ago, impacting the surroundings.

Vegetation zones range from lush evergreen forest at 1800m to an alpine desert at 3400m. Along the way, you may encounter wildlife, with the sound of the wind and white-necked ravens in the high desert.

Your guide will meet and greet you at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and after a short briefing he will drive you to your hotel in Arusha.

Please take note that the hotel cost covers breakfast exclusively. The check-in process commences at 2:00 PM.

Depart at 8:30 am for Arusha National Park from Momella Gate (1500 m). The trail starts with game viewing in open grassland where you can spot Buffalo, Warthog, Zebra, etc.

Afterward, there’s a steady climb through montane forest with lunch at the famous fig tree. Continue through dense forest, rich in birds and monkeys, including white and black colobus. Visit Njeku, Kitoto viewpoints, and Mayo Falls. In the afternoon, get closer views of the towering cliffs and Ash cone. Reach Miriakamba hut (2,514 m) in 5-6 hours, ascending 1,014 m, to enjoy the sunset and scenic views.

Depart at 8:00 am for Saddle Hut. The hike from Miriakamba Hut to the saddle below Little Meru is a steep but short day.

Starting in lush montane forest, the path goes through Elephant Ridge, then climbs through heather and moorland to reach Saddle Hut (3,570m) for lunch. Afterward, enjoy free time for rest and views of the ridge curving up to the summit.

Energetic hikers can make a short climb to Little Meru (3,820m) for superb crater views. This 1.5-hour round trip is less exposed and offers vistas of Kenya, Maasai hills, Ngorongoro highlands, Ol Doinyo Lengai, and Mount Kilimanjaro. The ascent is 1,056 m.

An early start at around 01:00 hours to climb steeply to Rhino point (3,800 m) the path continue along an undulating ridge of ash and rock to reach Cobra point (4,350 m).The summit of socialist peak (4,566 m) is an hour more on a superb but steep path, the views at the summit are stunning at sunrise, the Kilimanjaro floating on the morning clouds, the rift valley if the weather is clear, Ol Doinyo Lengai, the Maasai land and Arusha town. It takes 5-6 hours.

The route back to Saddle hut in the sharp morning light along a narrow ridge between the sloping outer wall of the crater and the sheer cliffs of the inner wall is one of the most dramatic and exhilarating walks in Africa. It takes 3 hours to Saddle hut.

Take a little rest and have your lunch before descending further to Miriakamba hut for overnight. It takes 2 hours.

Depart Miriakamba at 8:00 am after breakfast for a rapid descent through grassland and mixed forest (Northern route). Enjoy wildlife sightings and views of Ngurudoto crater and the park plains, plus a visit to Tululusia Falls, hidden nearby.

Arrive at Momella Gate by late morning, where you’ll collect your summit certificates, celebrate, and our team will transfer you to your Moshi hotel.

Relax at the hotel and then proceed to the airport.

Please be aware that hotel check-out is scheduled for 11:00 AM. Should your flight be in the evening and you require a late check-out, you have the choice to extend your hotel stay until 6:00 PM for an additional fee.

"Awesome safari with an experienced guide."

Yasin is an excellent driver and a very experienced guide, who dicovers even the ear of a lion hiding in the grass in a distance of 50 meters. So we have been lucky to see a lot of animals. Therefore our Safari was an awesome experience. We also received lots of information about the animals, the National Parks, the country of Tansania and the people living there. Since he is very humorous guy, we had a lot of fun, too. Thanks Yasin for a very special and fantastic time.

"Just top notch. Great guide, brilliant driver and wonderfully positive to have around."

Can’t recommend Yasin highly enough. Endlessly informative with an almost sixth sense of where the animals are likely to be. Also a funny and ever positive travelling companion who contributed much to a family holiday of a lifetime.

"The most beautiful experience in our lives"

We had a three-day safari with Yasin. Yasin gave us a very warm welcome right from the start and made us feel very familiar and friendly. It didn’t feel like a tour with a guide. We felt that we were in good hands and were able to enjoy the safari. We particularly liked the fact that Yasin always involved us in everything. For example, we were able to decide when our day began or ended. Yasin was able to tell us a lot about the wildlife, but also about the culture and the country. He was in constant contact with his colleagues, which gave us a good opportunity to see the BIG5. The moment of our engagement was very special for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again, dear Yasin. Thank you for your support and the great picnic spot. You were so well prepared, always took care of everything and made our dream come true. We will never forget these moments and we will never forget you. Stay healthy and as cheerful as we got to know you. Kind regards from Bremen (Germany) Jessica & Brian

"unglaublich eindrucksvolle Reise"

Wir waren vom 26.7. bis zum 05.8. mit Yassin auf Safari. Alles klappte wunderbar, von der Abholung am Flughafen bis zum Ende der Reise. Wir erfuhren von ihm unglaublich viel über Land und Menschen und Tierwelt. Er kannte sich in allen Themen, zu denen wir neugierig waren, aus. Die Gamedrives in den Naturparks waren perfekt. Wir entdeckten unendlich viele Tiere und er zeigte uns nicht nur die Tiere, die viele Touristen ausschließlich sehen wollen, sondern die so unendlich artenreiche Tierwelt. Die Serengeti war natürlich extrem eindrucksvoll. Vor allem die große Tiermigration, bei der wir Dank Yassin einen Platz in der ersten Reihe hatten. Eindrucksvoll auch die Unterkünfte dort, so nah an der Natur und voller perfekten Service. Das ist wahrer Luxus. Das Auto und auch der Transport in ihm war komfortabel. Kurz zusammengefasst: eine unglaublich eindrucksvolle, sichere, individuelle, sehr inhaltsreiche und unvergessliche Reise. Vielen vielen Dank

"Wonderful and Committed guide with a huge passion for his work🦩"

My family and I were so lucky that we had Hussein as our guide! He were really passionate about his work, which resulted in us learning so much about the nature we went to, seeing a lot of different animals meanwhile having a truly comfy trip where you felt safe all the time☺️ I will truly recommend Hussein as a guide for your wildlife adventure 🍀

"Yasin is friendly,competent and attentive"

We spend ten days with Yasin in the Serengeti, Taranguire and Ngorongoro Crater. Yasin, our guide, was always optimally prepared and also discovered the animals that were well hidden. He kept the necessary distance and always showed consideration for the animals. We felt safe and in good hands. Thanks to Yasin we experienced a unique Safaritour that we will never forget.
