The saddle huts camp is located along the Momella Route, the only route serving climbers to Mount Meru’s summit. It is the second camp after Miriakamba and consists of lodges/houses that are subdivided into rooms constructed in dormitory style.
At Saddle Huts campsite you can choose a hike to Little Meru which will act as an acclimatization trek. Being a resting camp on the mountain, this camp is best used to relax after a long day trek.
Other activities apart from hiking at Saddle Huts campsite include bird watching, camping on the mountain, and photography as Mount Meru offers amazing views of Arusha. Saddle huts can also be a great picnic site on Mount Meru.
As the name suggests, the Saddle Huts camp is sandwiched on a saddle between Little Meru and Mount Meru’s main peak, known as the Socialist Peak.
This camp is located in the heath vegetation region of Mount Meru’s Northern slope, right inside the Arusha National Park.
