3 days Mount Meru

Your 3 Days Mount Meru Adventure!

Begin your 3 days Mount Meru climb with a departure from Arusha or Moshi. The journey takes you to the lush landscapes of Arusha National Park, building excitement as you approach Momella Gate. From here, the trail winds through vibrant rainforest, echoing with the calls of colobus monkeys. Along the way, you might spot buffalo or giraffes, adding a touch of wildlife magic to your adventure. As the path grows steeper, the forest transforms into a green sanctuary, guiding you to Miriakamba Hut. Here, you’ll spend your first night surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, with the mountain awaiting above.

From Dense Jungle to Open Moorland

On the second day, the trek leads you higher as the scenery changes dramatically. The thick jungle gives way to open moorland, offering panoramic views with every step. Below, the stunning Meru crater comes into sight. On clear days, Kilimanjaro stands proudly in the distance. By midday, you’ll arrive at Saddle Hut, the perfect spot to rest and enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. For those seeking extra adventure, an acclimatization hike to Little Meru is a fantastic opportunity to adjust to the altitude while enjoying even more spectacular vistas. As the evening sets in, return to Saddle Hut to prepare for the exhilarating final ascent.

Reaching the Summit

In the stillness of the early morning, headlamps light your path as you begin the thrilling push to the summit. The trail leads you through Rhino Point and Cobra Point, unveiling rugged and awe-inspiring terrain. As the horizon begins to glow, the first rays of sunlight light your way. After hours of determination and effort, you’ll reach the summit just as the sun rises. The view is breathtaking, with Mount Kilimanjaro glowing in the distance. The Tanzanian plains are stretching endlessly below—a reward beyond words.

Descending from Mount Meru

The descent begins with a sense of accomplishment and memories of the summit fresh in your mind. As you retrace your steps, the stunning landscapes continue to amaze. After a well-earned rest at Saddle Hut, the trail winds back through moorland and forest until you return to Momella Gate.
